Creep by Radiohead

This one’s essential for celebrating the creepiest night of the year — especially for all the weirdos and misfits out there.

Thriller by Michael Jackson

There’s nothing quite like a posse of zombie back-up dancers. You just can’t resist mimicking all their iconic moves.

Disturbia by Rihanna

Because only Rihanna could make, “bum, bum, bee-dum, bum-bum, bee-dum-bum” sound like an ancient spell to cast you into a night of darkness.

Bury A Friend by Billie Eilish

Looking for something more modern for your playlist? This recent hit from Billie Eilish is the perfect dark pop track that’s simultaneously catchy and bone-chilling.

Sweet but Psycho by Ava Max

Ava Max’s 2019 pop hit is equal parts catchy and a cautionary tale. Sweet, but psycho is a red flag.

Who Made Who by AC/DC

Because it’s the best part of Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive.

I Put A Spell on You by Bette Midler

Disney’s wicked ’90s hit Hocus Pocus features the quirky Sanderson sisters, who wreak havoc on a small town. Bette Midler’s rendition of “I Put a Spell on You” always puts us in the holiday spirit.

Yonkers by Tyler the Creator

Only a few people can create hip-hop as menacing as Tyler, the Creator. And if you throw this stunning music video on at your party, you’re bound to freak out the guests.

Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show

If you’re not the kind of person to attend the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show every Halloween, it’s at least in good practice to pour one out for their dedication at your party.

Haunted by Beyoncé

Leave it to Queen Bey to slay with a scary-good track that’s also accompanied by an equally eerie music video.
