Happy Halloween! This is one of my favorite holidays!
My mom would always laugh about how when I was a little girl, I woke up on the morning of Halloween and shouted, “I can’t believe it! It must be a dream! It’s Halloween!”
I used to drag my dad to Party City every year and beg him to buy new Halloween decorations so that we would have the coolest and scariest house on the block.
In the U.S., and many other countries, we celebrate Halloween by dressing up in a costume.
Kids go trick-or-treating, going door to door for candy.
And many people go to parties.
I have great memories of fun Halloween parties, from childhood through my young adult years.
In the past couple years, my Halloween’s have been a bit more low key. I now prefer to celebrate in other ways.
Last year, I created a playlist full of awesome Halloween music — everything from the classics (Monster Mash!) to current day pop (Doja Cat’s Candy) to freaky (Nine Inch Nail’s Closer) and so much more!
I love Halloween so much! I have my own music collection for the holiday too, though I need to track down some more songs (thanks for the ideas!). “Thriller” is a great Halloween song, but it annoys me that my local radio stations seem to think it’s the *only* Halloween song. š
Oooo, I would love to hear any song recommendations or playlist from you! Halloween should be celebrated all year long! So true — “Thriller” along with “Monster Mash” are classics — but c’mon there is so much more than that too!
A lot of my faves are oldies, but here goes: One I still need to add to my playlist is “Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein, or Dracula” by the Diamonds. And some aren’t official Halloween tunes, but they just hit the vibe for me. Like the theme from E.T. (it was Halloween when they flew on the bike!), “The Stranger” by Billy Joel, and “Eclipse” by Pink Floyd.
