Suggest songs for my Halloween party playlist

OneHundredToLose · October 2015

I want a good cross section of music for my party, because people won't be happy if I only play music I like. There are only two rules, though:

1) Needs to be relatively non-NSFW. Just nothing overtly sexually graphic - there are gonna be kids around.
2) No country music. I know I said I wanted a diverse playlist, but I really don't like country music. Sorry.

So what are some good Halloween songs for my party?

Don't know if you have a Roku, but I just found a Halloween music channel on that...what I heard seemed SFW. I might be the wrong person to give advice though; my kids love Rob Zombie.

I do, but I'd rather build the playlist myself than let a channel stream it. Call me a control freak if you'd like

The soundtrack for the movie The Beyond. I can't immediately find a link to the whole thing, but this is enough to know if it will work for you.

Aside from the typical Monster Mashy songs of course. Those are probably mandatory!

I've already got a lot of the music I like on there, so I'm trying to add other music that I might not have thought of. But if it helps, I mostly listen to metal - death metal, black metal, power metal, industrial metal. I also like trance / house and some dubstep, and classic rock too of course.

Oh, I also like Psychobilly / Rockabilly, if that helps. Zombie Ghost Train was born to be on a Halloween playlist:

Beethoven's 5th symphony is unintentionally spooky, due to the use of the Da-Da-Da-Daaa structure, if that makes any sense. That would be fun!

A lot of MJ works.. Thriller, Bille Jean, Beat It, Smooth Criminal.. they all have a good Halloween sound.

As far as Halloween classics.. Ghostbusters, Time Warp, Monster Mash.. maybe missing a couple of others.

Most horror movie themes.. Halloween, Exorcist.. if you listen to a Halloween station on Spotify or Pandora in advance you'll get some other ideas to put on your list.

I also like rap or pop stuff that has kind of an eery sound, like Disturbia or really a lot of Rihanna would work.. Drake, Lil Jon.. sometimes you just need just songs with a good beat.
