Halloween is one of the biggest party-throwing holidays, but sometimes your event just isn't made without the right music. A haunted house needs "mood music" because no one is going to be scared if you're playing Closer by the Chainsmokers. A Halloween party needs a good combination of spooky and upbeat so that you can have a good time but still keep in the spirit. Whether you're looking for the right song to dance to, or one to enhance your scare, check out the list below for some of my favorite picks.

1. Dollhouse - Melanie Martinez

Melanie Martinez has a remarkably haunting voice despite it being very pretty. Plus, dolls, need I say more?

Listen here.

2. Disturbia - Rihanna

While it's creepy as all hell, you can definitely dance your heart out to this classic throwback.

Listen here, as if you've never heard this.

3. Control - Halsey

Who is in control? It'll definitely be you if you play this song at your next party, it's great for keeping the spooky vibes. Listen here.

4. Spooky Scary Skeletons - Disney

If you find the remix of the song from the classic Disney short, it's honestly a real good jam. It'll get your party going before you can say the name three times fast. Listen here.

5. This is Halloween - Panic! at the Disco

If Panic is not your choice of artist you have a wide variety of other bands that have covered the song. Regardless, this is a Halloween staple. Listen here.

6. Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show

If you've been to a Halloween party where they didn't play this, you shouldn't have stayed. This is the equivalency of the Soulja Boy song at every middle school dance. Listen here.

7. In the Room Where You Sleep - Dead Man's Bones

First things first, Ryan Gosling is the frontman of this group so that should make you want to listen to it ten times over. I first heard this song in the movie the Conjuring and it was very fitting. Listen here.

8. Thriller - Michael Jackson

For the entire month of October it is always Thriller time. Listen here.

9. Carousel - Melanie Martinez

Melanie deserves a second feature on the list. Carousel is equally as creepy, seeing as you can never get off. Listen here.

10. The Addam's Family Theme

Creepy and they're cooky, and they'll make your party fun and spooky! Listen here.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
