There are many things that I love about the fall season (caramel apple lollipops, stealing my boyfriend's hoodies, apple cider, bonfires) but the one thing that may take the cake is Halloween. Yeah, I'm THAT person. I own way too many "This is my Costume" shirts, I compulsively buy Halloween socks and I have about five costumes picked out for this year's festivities.
If you're like me, you don't even need hyped up for Halloween but I'M GONNA HYPE YOU UP ANYWAY. Now, "The Monster Mash" and "This is Halloween" are great and all, but here are some songs that will get you ready for all the blood, gore and festivities of Halloween that aren't on the regular "Fifth Grade Halloween Dance {complete with pumpkin shaped cookies and kids that are at the pinnacle of their awkward stage}" playlist.
