“Creepin”, Eric Church
It’s got a good spooky vibe, and also gets you excited. The type of song that you would want as your walk up song if you were coming up to bat down a run with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. The slow haunting intro gives way to an exciting first verse and an electric energy filled chorus.

“Thriller” by Michael Jackson
My mom showed me the music video for this song when I was little, and it scared me so badly I didn’t sleep that night. Now, as an adult, I actually really like that video. It has werewolves AND zombies! Even though it traumatized me as a kid.

“Graveyard” by Feist
This song isn’t scary, but it has a dark, solemn feel that’s perfect for when the weather gets chilly. Feist’s haunting vocals and melancholy lyrics will make you want to join her in the graveyard this Halloween. Personally, I think it’s the perfect song for taking a nighttime stroll around Temple or making a cup of tea before bed.
Hannah Foley, Sports:
“Werewolves of London”, Warren Zevon
This song just makes me laugh. I have some vivid memories of rolling down my windows and cruising down the highway going “aaaahhhh-hoooooo WEREWOLVES OF LONDON!” I don’t know any other words from the song, but werewolves = halloween…right?

“W.I.T.C.H.” by Devon Cole
This is my go-to get ready in the morning song! Who doesn’t want to be a “woman in total control of herself?” It’s upbeat, empowering, and just a great bop. Great for dancing in your room and singing into a hairbrush.

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
covered by Lorde
The original Tears for Fears rendition of this song is perfect for rolling the windows down on a sunny afternoon but Lorde’s cover? It is pure horror. This version of the song is almost unrecognizable from the original. Lorde’s guttural wail “Welcome to your life. There’s no turning back. Even while we sleep. We will find you,” will chill you to your bones. This song is perfect for midnight walk on All Hallow’s Eve.
