With Halloween just around the corner, it is time to get your costume ready for either trick or treating with kids or getting ready for that Halloween party that your friend will be hosting. But, to get you in the mood for this spooky holiday, you should put these songs that always get me in a ghoulish spirit.
I present to you My Top 10 Halloween Songs
#10: Maroon 5 - Animals
Adam Levine and his bandmates sing about human acting like undomesticated animals. Even Levine himself acted like a stalker in the music video.
#9: Kanye West featuring Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Bon Over and Nicki Minaj - Monster
This crazy collaboration brings out the heavy hitters of hip-hop and an indie folk singer to create this savage song. It is so epic even Adele rapped Nicki's part in James Corden's Carpool Karaoke.
#8: Beyoncé - Haunted
Queen B was American Horror Story: Hotel before the show came up with that concept. The former Destiny's Child channels her dark and mysterious side with this "haunted" song.
#7: Rihanna - Disturbia
To start this list, I chose one of Rihanna's songs from Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded album. I love how crazy and wild this song gets and even the music video matches the mood of the song.
#6: Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
They were "back" and better than ever before. For eye candy and 90s throwback, I recommend you jamming to this classic hit from AJ, Howie, Nick, Brian and Kevin.
#5: Hocus Pocus cover - I Put A Spell On You
Even though Screamin' Jay Hawkins orignally recorded this haunting song back in 1956, Bette Midler's rendition of this hit for the Hocus Pocus movie is one of my favorite Halloween tunes.
#4: Stevie Wonder - Superstition
Stevie brings both the supernatural and Motown in this song that will bring back the joy and the odd fears of people. Just make sure you do not break the mirror or let a cat cross your path.
#3: Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters Theme Song
Who are you going to call? Well, I do not know about you but I am going to call Mr. Parker Jr. and ask him to sing this song to me on October 31st.
#2: The Nightmare Before Christmas - This Is Halloween
Jack Skellington and company sings about the joys of Halloween in Tim Burton's epic Disney movie.
#1: Michael Jackson - Thriller
Nothing beats the King of Pop. From the album of the same name, this song makes me buy a red leather jacket and dance with my friends in the middle of the streets.
What are your favorite Halloween songs? Let me know and I'll add them to my spooky playlist this Halloween.
