5 Spooky Songs to Get You Ready for Halloween

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Point Park chapter.

there are only two more days until the ~sPoOooOookiest~ day of the year, and what’s Hallowwen without a good jam? Here our are top 5 favorite Halloween Anthems:

5. Creep- Radiohead

Released in 1993, Radiohead had a soft rock edge that everyone loved!

4. Monster Mash- Bobby “Boris” Pickett

Released in 1962, this is the throwbacks of all throwbacks!

3. Ghostbusters- Ray Parker, Jr.

Released in 1989, this classic film theme song, has families singing along to this day! Who are you gonna call? We don’t know about you, but we’re calling the shortest phone number saved in our phone: it starts with 9 and ends with two 1’s!

2. Superstition- Stevie Wonder

Released in 1972, everyone from your grandparents to your parents were able to groove and get down to this song any time of the year!

Who remembers Raven-Symoné’s cover to this?! It was released in 2003 and when this premiered in the Haunted Mansion movie and soundtrack, I couldn’t stop singing along to it!

1. Thriller- Michael Jackson

When the music video for this song released in 1982, not only was everyone excited for another hit from Michael Jackson, but they raved over his extended music videos that were creatively similar and felt like a short film – a thriller/ horror short film that is! Hands down, the best Halloween song! It’s perfect for all ages and still remains timeless.
