This is a Grammy Award-winning track released in 1979 by the Southern rock band Charlie Daniels Band, whose roots lie in country and bluegrass.

HalloweenDead Kennedys

A track by Dead Kennedys, who are like pioneers of American hardcore punk.

Since the title is “Halloween,” there’s no way not to listen to it this time of year! It’s a Halloween song I recommend for fans of punk.

HalloweenFaun

FAUN – Halloween (Official Video)

FAUN’s magical sound brings ancient Celtic festivals back to life in the modern era.

Steeped in the spirit of pagan folk, this work overflows with a mystical atmosphere that honors the dead and evokes a deep oneness with nature.

Released in April 2022, the track drew attention as the lead single from the album “Pagan.” It’s marked by a fusion of historical instruments and contemporary beats, along with English lyrics that appeal to a broader audience.

Perfect for setting the mood at a Halloween party, it’s recommended for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a mysterious world.

HalloweenJP Ashkar

Halloween

If you want to fully immerse yourself in Halloween’s dark atmosphere, this track is perfect for you.

Released by JP Ashkar in November 2021, the song features a simple arrangement of just rhythmic acoustic guitar and handclaps, yet it somehow feels eerie and evocative of a Halloween night.

The lyrics roll out motifs like cobwebs, ghosts, and vampires one after another, drawing listeners into a whirlpool of fear.

It’s guaranteed to instantly elevate the vibe when used as background music for a Halloween party.

Even those who scare easily will feel reassured by the end with a playful “just kidding,” making it a fun, spirited track.

MonsterKanye West

Monster

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is a musician of outstanding talent who continually draws public attention—for better or worse—through his controversial actions and remarks.

“Monster,” included on his fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which was released in 2010 and became a global hit, was also released as a single around Halloween that same year and went on to be a major success.

It’s a perfect pick for your Halloween BGM.

The track features a powerhouse lineup—Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver, JAY-Z, and Rick Ross—and later received a horror-themed music video.

If you’re hosting a Halloween party for hip-hop fans, this one is especially recommended!

Gods & MonstersLana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey – Gods & Monsters (Audio)

Lana Del Rey, a solitary singer-songwriter who calls herself a “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” and describes her music as “sadcore,” has amassed a cult following worldwide with a body of work that presents a one-of-a-kind worldview.

Her track Gods & Monsters is included on the 2012 EP Paradise, and its decadent, somewhat nihilistic lyrics perfectly evoke her signature atmosphere.

In Season 3 of the long-running series American Horror Story (which aired from 2011 to 2019), there’s a scene where a character played by Jessica Lange performs this song—and it is nothing short of searing.

If you’re planning an act for a Halloween party, set the scene with decorations inspired by the show and perform this song—you’ll all but guarantee yourself the spotlight for the night!
