30 Halloween Songs Not On Every Playlist

Halloween is upon us. It’s time for costume parties and lots ‘o candy. Yes, as for music, it is the same hits every year – “Monster Mash”, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince’s “A Nightmare On My Street”, and a boatload of horror movie theme songs. If you are tired of the same songs as we are, be sure to check out our 30 Halloween Songs not played each year on October 31.

If you want popular songs to play at your Halloween party, there are plenty of Halloween themed compilations available. Our goal is to offer you songs with a Halloween theme that you could play at your wedding too. Most of the songs below you could play, but a few others not so much. It depends on your music style and the mood you want to create.
