Here are the best 12 songs for a Halloween Theme Mix Tape

Listen to the episode | Listen to the mix (Spotify)

We polled our audience and overwhelmingly everyone said yes to a Halloween theme mix — so here it is! I went with a rock theme (with a bit of story telling with the titles of each song), and Matt went with songs that generally put you at unease and/or make you think of Halloween. Of course Michael Jackson’s Thriller had to be on there — I mean, of course it had to be. But we also have some other unexpected songs and discuss each one and why it made the mix tape!

There were so many other songs we came across that we wanted to include — and obviously there are tons of amazing instrumental tracks that could easily have gone on here (looking at you Stranger Things), so we will most likely do a mix again like this next year!

Here’s the list:

1. Ghost On The Dance Floor by blink-182

2. Far from Any Road by The Handsome Family

3. Burn The Witch by Queens of the Stone Age

4. Halloween by Dave Matthews Band

5. Dragula by Rob Zombie

6. Thriller by Michael Jackson

7. Creeping Death by Metallica

8. Deviltown by Bright Eyes & Nick Zinner

9. Going to Hell by The Pretty Reckless

10. A Night With the Jersey Devil by Bruce Springsteen

11. Hell’s Bells by AC/DC

12. You’re Dead by Norma Tanega
