Spooooky Songs for the Season

Happy Halloween, WVUMers! ‘Tis the season to be scary, and you can bet I’m obsessed with songs that empower this sentiment.

Ranging from classics such as Patience & Prudence’s “Tonight You Belong To Me” to newer tunes like slowthai and Denzel Curry’s “Psycho”, to halloween-unaffiliated songs that remind me of the season like “Something Against You” by Pixies and “Where Angels Fear To Tread” by Disclosure, I’ve composed a short but jam-packed playlist to somewhat subliminally get you in the mood! This playlist serves the casual listener who is truly Halloween infused at heart with more subliminal but genuine tones of the season.

The second playlist is more of a relic, beginning in the heyday of that memed “Spooky Scary Skeletons” video. It contains undeniable yet somewhat overplayed October bangers like “Calling All the Monsters” by China Anne McClain and Bobby Pickett’s "Monster Mash”. Regardless of how you feel about these songs, it may be hard not to bust a move to these hammed-up Halloween themed songs while carving a pumpkin.

I hope that, with whichever playlist you choose, you have a safe yet exhilarating Halloweek. Don’t forget to eat too much candy, Binge-watch Wes Craven’s “Scream” series, and lock your doors (while keeping it locked;)).

Boo!
