17 Songs You Must Have On Your Halloween Playlist
Milk

The oncoming of Halloween means not only an excuse for you to dress up, do your make-up all crazy, and eat copious amounts of candy corn or caramel covered apples. It is also an excuse to get together with all your friends, family, neighbors - whoever you see fit and have a great party. But no party is complete without a proper playlist. So here are seventeen songs that are sure to keep your Halloween party going.

(Obviously there are a lot more songs than I list that would fit well on a Halloween playlist, but here are some I think can bring a good mix of genres - in order to satisfy all music tastes - to the party.)


1. Thriller by Michael Jackson

It's the classic, the OG, the GOAT of all Halloween songs. I'm not sure if that's what MJ was going for when the song was written, but it sure happened. It's the song that everyone knows the words (and the dance) to. It's the song that goes great for parties with millennials and adults alike. You just can't go wrong having 'Thriller' on your playlist.

2. I Put A Spell On You by Credence Clearwater

Sure, it's no pop song, but it's a classic, bewitching tune. And if you don't recognize this version, try watching a little movie called "Hocus Pocus" and see if you remember it that way instead.

3. Superstition by Stevie Wonder

Another classic that you can associate with Halloween. Plus it's Stevie Wonder and who doesn't love hearing a little Stevie every now and then?

4. Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band

So this song is not so much about Halloween hauntings and spell casting as it is about trying to get a girl, but the title still brings that Halloween vibe. Abracadabra, witches, wizards... see? It totally works.

5. Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell

This song gives me total "1984" vibes with the whole someone's always watching thing. But isn't that all the fun of Halloween, especially when it comes to haunted houses and other scary activities? You never know who's there...

6. Howlin' For You by The Black Keys

Again, more about getting a girl than Halloween but it sure sounds like it could be related to... Let's say a werewolf?

7. Monster by Lady Gaga

This is definitely Gaga pre-Joanne era. That's all I gotta say here.

8. Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I think I've heard this song at every Halloween party since "Project X" came out. It's a great, modern EDM hit that still gives off some spooky Halloween vibes that the party needs.

9. Disturbia by Rihanna

All hail the queen, RiRi, who created this song that I've been jamming to (on Halloween and not) since seventh grade!

10. I Want Candy by Aaron Carter

C'mon. It's Aaron Carter. I mean... c'mon.

11. Monster by Kanye West

It's Kanye. Who doesn't love hearing Kanye at a party?

12. Black Magic by Little Mix

The most modern song on this list comes from British girl group, Little Mix. I have to say, I'm not a big fan of girl groups, but this song is great. It's all about bewitching their crush to make him fall in love with them with black magic. It's cheesy and amazing all at once.

13. Supernatural by AlunaGeorge

This is the perfect song to bring those indietronic vibes to the party. Not so haunting as it is catchy, but the title fits perfectly with the Halloween theme.

14. Toxic by Britney Spears

From the moment the first note of the intro hits, everyone knows where the song is going. This is a classic and bound to get everyone at the party singing.

15. Ghost Town by Adam Lambert

This may be a good one to start the night with since the beginning is kind of slow. But once you get into the chorus, the bass picks up and so does the party.

16. Devil by Cash Cash

I don't know a time I've played this song and anyone was standing still. It's a perfect mix of rap and EDM to keep the upbeat party music going.

17. Men In Black by Will Smith

Not even going to deny that this is my favorite song on the list, and I have no shame admitting it. I think I know every word and hopefully you'll find someone (multiple people) at your party who appreciates it just as much.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
