Michael Jackson – Thriller

We’ve been leading up to Halloween most of this week and as a final touch for your little ones’ favourite sugar-induced holiday, we’ve come up with some familiar spooky tunes to get your resident vampires, witches or ghosties in the mood.

Boris the Spider The Who
Ghostbusters Ray Parker Jr
Werewolves of London Warren Zevon
Twilight Zone Theme Neil Norman
Dinner with Dracula, Part 1 John Zacherle
Zombie Jamboree Harry Belafonte (parental advisory – the word
“damn” is sung in the chorus)
The Purple People Eater Sheb Wooley
Monster Mash Bobby “Boris” Pickett
X-Files Theme Countdown (makes us shiver every time we hear it)
I Want Candy Bow Wow Wow
Thriller Michael Jackson (undoubtedly the best Halloween song ever)

All songs are available to download from iTunes, but if you are planning on hosting a Halloween party or attempting to out-do your neighbour’s haunted house, we suggest checking out the following albums for even more frighteningly ghoulish sounds:

Scary Sounds of Halloween K-Tel
Music from Scary Movies Countdown
Halloween Party Scary Sounds Sounds for Life (almost 30 minutes of ominous footsteps, tolling bells, rattling chains and screeching cats)

From all of us at yoyomama, have a devilishly safe Halloween!
