Yes, it’s my favorite time of year again. Those of you that have been following me a long time know that I HALT everything when Halloween month comes around so I can take the time to celebrate the things that go bump in the night. In years past I have opened up my online Halloween radio station, but due to another project I am working on I won’t be doing that this year. I also need a new host for that radio station, as the previous one has new policies that are not favorable.
This has not spoiled my fun in the least though. And it by no means should spoil yours either.
But I have decided to put together a playlist of “Foppy’s Top Halloween Songs Ever”. This is a list of songs carefully chosen because they perfectly reflect the spirit of Halloween as I see it. Some of them are Halloween Dance Party songs. Some are Halloween creepy songs. Some are just comical. Some are hardcore Ghoulish. Some are movie themes. But ALL of them capture the spirit of Halloween in one form or another (in my opinion anyway). I should also mention that this is very much an adult playlist. In no particular order the list goes as follows:
- I Want Candy (Bow Wow Wow)
- Black Celebration (Depeche Mode)
- Pet Semetary (The Ramones)
- Stranger Things Theme
- Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones)
- Welcome to My Nightmare (Alice Cooper)
- Monster Mash (Boris Carlof)
- The Time Warp (Rock Horror Picture Show)
- Haunted House (Elvira)
- Zombie Stomp (Elvira)

- Tales From the Crypt Theme
- Beetlejuice Theme
- Cry Little Sister (Sisters of Mercy) (Lost Boys Theme)
- Dead Mans Party (Oingo Boingo) (Best party song ever)
- Living Dead Girl (Rob Zombie)
- Heads Will Roll (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s)
- What the Hell Have I (Alice in Chains)
- Dragula (Rob Zombie)
- Don’t Fear the Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult)
- Ghost Town (The Specials)
- This is Halloween (The Citizens of Halloween) (Nightmare Before Christmas Theme)
- A Nightmare on My Street (DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince)
- Somebody’s Watching Me (Rockwell)

I am always on the lookout for more Halloween-esqu songs to add to my list. if you have any recommendations, please comment below. Either way, if you are as enthusiastic about Halloween as I am, I encourage you to put together this playlist for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
