James’ Top 10 Halloween Playlist Recommendations
Halloween is upon us, and if you’re partying at home or with friends you’ll be looking for some tunes. Lucky you, I’ve got some recommendations for your playlist.
I’m sure it’s already there, so you can just tell me you know what you’re doing, but, let’s start with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins‘ I Put A Spell On You.

Next I’m gonna suggest you pick it up for The Planet Smashers and My Love [Vampire].

When I put together my list I had a rule about not including any artist twice, so after some consideration I’ve narrowed down my choice for a Rob Zombie song down to Dragula.

Equally tough, The Creepshow have a catalogue perfect for improving any Halloween party, but for a single recommendation I’ve got to go with Creatures of the Night.

I hope you’re still moving because next up I gotta rec KC and The Sunshine Band‘s I’m Your Boogieman.

Maybe you’re not up All Hallow’s Eve dancing, maybe you’re bingging your way through the latest season of your favourite show about people who do. I got you, too. Check out We Are The Union‘s covers You’re Dead/Vampire Ska.

Call this a bend not a break, because Jer from We Are The Union has got a great album of spooky covers out now and since I can’t get away with adding the whole album I’m gonna recommend Skatune Network‘s The Working Dead.

I hope you’ve got more skanking in you, check out Grave Danger‘s Specter Inspector.

Next up I’m gonna suggest TWRP and The Protomen’s Phantom Racer.

Circling back to “I know you got this” territory my last recommendation for your Spooky Sing Along is Bobby “Boris” Pickett and The Crypt-Kickers classic The Monster Mash.
