Songs to run to, part IX: Halloween edition

10/10/2012 by Deanna +

I’m really not a “Halloween person.” Ghosts and witches and blood really don’t do it for me. I’m more about the subtle things in October — like cider. But, Halloween is definitely fun. So, while you’re training for an upcoming Zombie 5K or Turkey Trot (or trying to burn off the calories from all those deeee-licious mini candy bars), here’s a fun (and yes, corny) playlist for you. As always, visit the bottom of the post to listen right away on Spotify. Happy Halloween!
(Ghost) Riders in the Sky – Johnny Cash
Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett
Monster – Lady Gaga
Heads Will Roll – Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs
Killer Queen – Queen
Thriller – Michael Jackson
Theme from Halloween – John Carpenter (this will give you Michael Myers nightmares)
Somebody’s Watching Me – Rockwell
(Don’t Fear) The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult (you’ll need more cowbell)
Scream – Usher
Disturbia – Rihanna
Cat People – David Bowie
Enter Sandman – Metallica (speaking of nightmares, this video scarred me for life as a child)
Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival
Scream – Michael & Janet Jackson
Ghostbusters Theme Song
Ghost on the Dance Floor – Blink182
Super Freak – Rick James
The Beautiful People – Marilyn Manson
Werewolves of London – Warren Zevon
