What's a better way to get into the fall spirit (no pun intended) than listening to some spooky songs? Nothing, is the correct answer.

Throughout the years, Halloween songs have gotten more and more popular, and I am loving it. Whether you need to make a playlist for your annual Halloween party, or simply want to get in the Halloween spirit all month, here are 10 songs you absolutely NEED on your Halloween playlist.

Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell

Spooky vibes and easy to jam to.

Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This song is the Cha Cha Slide of Halloween.

Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett

If you play this song, I promise it will be a graveyard smash.

This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas is basically the anthem of Halloween. Most of the songs from this movie should be on your playlist including "Jack's Lament," "Oggie Boogie's Song," and others.

The entire "Turn Off The Light" album by Kim Petras

An entire Halloween album? Yes please! This album pretty much does most of the work for you. Some of my absolute favorites include "There Will Be Blood," "Close Your Eyes," and "Massacre."

I Put a Spell on You from Hocus Pocus

Though the original version is great too, the classic version of this song as sang by the Sanderson Sisters in "Hocus Pocus" is iconic and needs to be on your playlist this Halloween.

Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish

One of Billie's newest singles, Bury a Friend is another iconic, spooky pop song that deserves a spot on your playlist.

Disturbia by Rhianna

The original spooky pop song. It's not a Halloween playlist without this song.

Spooky Scary Skeletons by Andrew Gold

I'm not sure how it got popular, but this song, or any remix of it, needs to be on your Halloween playlist.

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Duh.

Though there are plenty of other spooky songs from Disney classics to popular rock songs, these 10 should always be your go-to's for your Halloween playlist. If you're too lazy to actually put one together though, you can find all of these plus many more on my Spooky Scary Halloween Playlist.

Have a Happy Halloween and enjoy these tunes all month long!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
