11 Secretly Spooky Halloween Songs
Hallam

It's that time of the year again! Jack-o-lanterns, black cats and spooky ghosts. October is upon us, and there's nothing like some spooky jams to get you into the Halloween spirit. Not everyone loves this holiday, and I've annoyed my fair share of roommates and family members with The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. In order to bring a more secretive spookiness to my playlist, I opt for songs that aren't overtly about Halloween, but still satisfy my eerie song cravings. If eleven songs isn't enough, click here for even more creepy tunes!

1. Creep by Radiohead

Because at the end of the day, we are all creepy in our own way.

2. Cannibal by Kesha

The only pop song I've ever heard that references Jeffery Dahmer. Definitely not good for a kid's Halloween party.

3. I Want Candy by the Strangeloves

One of the goals of Halloween night: get lots of sugary sweets!

4. Demons by Imagine Dragons

What's scarier than facing off with Satan's evil spawn? Actually facing your inner demons. I'd rather fight the former.

5. Black Widow by Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora

It isn't Halloween if there aren't a couple of creepy crawlies skulking around.

6. The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Primus

Who taught Satan to play the fiddle? The world may never know.

7. Black Magic by Little Mix

Bubblegum pop with a witchy twist!


8. Midnight City by M83

Technically the witching hour is between 3 and 4 AM, but midnight will do for those of us who like going to bed at a decent hour.

9. Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran

Exactly how hungry are wolves?

10. Bad Blood by Taylor Swift

A vampire's worst nightmare: bad blood.

11. My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy

Nothing escapes the all seeing eye of Fall Out Boy.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
