Are you inviting some coworkers to your party? Or will your friends be bringing their children? It doesn't matter who's attending your Halloween party—Spotify has you covered.
Here are the best spooky Spotify Halloween playlists.
1. Fright Fest: For the Movie Lover's Halloween Party
If you're hosting a party for fans of spooky movies, the Fright Fest playlist is perfect for you. Perhaps you're all dressing up as your favorite horror icon? Or you're watching a creepy movie later in the night?
Whatever the cause, this playlist features tracks from John Carpenter's Halloween, X-Files, Stranger Things, The Twilight Zone, Psycho, and more. All you need to lend a perfectly creepy air to your party.
2. Trick or Treat: For a Children's Halloween Party
You've got to be careful with your playlist when kids are involved. Ideally, explicit lyrics should be kept to a minimum, and you want songs that they can sing and dance to happily. The Trick or Treat playlist has you covered.
From recreated classics like Somebody's Watching Me and Disturbia, to fun sing-a-long themes like Pokémon and Scooby-Doo, this playlist will suit any child, whether they want some spooky tunes or just a generally good bop.
3. Disney Halloween: For Kids (and Adults) Who Love Disney
If there's one thing that children and adults alike enjoy, it's Disney. Who could say no to hearing Goofy sing Monster Mash? Or the soundtrack from The Nightmare Before Christmas?
If you want to inject an undeniable sense of fun into your Halloween party, look no further than the Disney Halloween playlist. Trust in Mickey and co to give you a good time.
4. Spooky Sounds for Halloween: For the Atmospheric Scares
Perhaps you're tired of hearing the same Halloween songs every year. Or maybe you want to create some atmospheric scares at your party. If so, the Spooky Sounds for Halloween playlist will be right up your alley.
You can use this playlist to soundtrack your party to the sounds of howling wolves, spooky organs, haunted houses, ghostly bats, and more. Just try not to jump.
5. Creepy, Stupid, Love: For a Couple's Halloween Party
If you're having a quiet Halloween night in with your partner, the Creepy, Stupid, Love playlist could be what you need for some romantic thrills.
The songs have a spooky angle (like Beyoncé's Haunted and Gnarls Barkley's Necromancer), but you could get away with jamming to this playlist at any time of the year.
6. Halloween Monster Jams: For a Retro Halloween Party
If you like timeless Halloween tunes, the Halloween Monster Jams playlist is what you need to blast.
It features oldies but goldies like Highway to Hell, Thriller, and Bark at the Moon. There are no modern hits here—as long as you overlook Alvin & The Chipmunks, though whether that's a "hit" is questionable.
7. Scary Stories: For Tales Told in the Dark
"While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping. As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."
When the dancing is done, dim the lights, gather close, and put on Spotify's Scary Stories playlist. Listen to scary fictional tales like The Raven, Dracula, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
8. Classical Halloween: For the Sophisticated Scares
You don't need words to make something scary, as this collection of atmospheric and eerie classical scores prove.
The Classic Halloween playlist has a mixture of film scores and literal classics from composers of yore. If you want to have a sophisticated Halloween party, give this playlist a try.
9. Spooky: For the Hipster's Alternative Halloween Party
PinkPantheress is an English singer who found fame through TikTok and has put together this Spooky Halloween Spotify playlist.
If you want a playlist of songs that you won't hear at any other Halloween party, this is the one for you. Though it features established artists like My Chemical Romance and Travis Scott, it also plays host to up-and-coming stars like beabadoobee.
10. ASMR Halloween: For the Alternative Halloween Experience
Spotify's ASMR Halloween playlist is going to offer a very different vibe to all the others we've covered. If the idea of listening to the sounds of pumpkins, marshmallows, potions, and skulls sounds like your perfect Halloween party, then look no further.
This playlist might also work well for a party game. You could queue it up and get people to guess what the sounds are. The quicker they get the right answer, the more candy they receive!
11. Ultimate Halloween: For the Best Office Halloween Party
Simply want a playlist full of undeniable bangers? Jam out to Ultimate Halloween, the perfect list of songs to get everyone at your party singing and dancing.
Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, and Fleetwood Mac are some of the artists that line this playlist packed full of jams guaranteed to lift the spirits (pun intended).
12. Headbanger Halloween: For a Rocking Halloween Party
If you want to pick up the pace at your Halloween party, crank the volume and put on Spotify's Headbanger Halloween playlist.
If you're more of a rock fan than pop, this playlist will satisfy you no end. Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, Slipknot, and Black Sabbath are the order of the day here.
