The Best Thing About Halloween Songs

Unlike Christmas songs, the best thing about Halloween songs is...you can play them year round. Nobody will laugh at you if you play Spooky on a hot, sultry night in July.

But it's especially fun to enjoy Halloween songs when you're throwing a Halloween Party.

Ghoulish Greats and Olden Moldies - Halloween Music for a Crypt-Kicken' Party

Don't forget! You'll need some songs to play as guests arrive to your Halloween Party. This music can be a little more subtle and quieter.

Then get the party going with music that will put even a zombie in a dancing mood.

    Good for you for putting in "Legend of Woolly Swamp" by Charlie Daniels. It's a great (and creepy) song. I also like the way you've separated the music to make it easier to find certain songs.

    werewolves of london - warren zevon, zombie - cranberries, all you zombies - the hooters.

    This song is a song that I personally think is a great song for Halloween and for a Halloween party. Especially when it comes to dancing time. This song is by Skillet and the song is called Monster.
