Embracing the Halloween Spirit: The Rise of Halloween Music

If you’re someone who relishes the idea of playing Christmas music a full month before the actual holiday, there’s great news: the music industry is making strides to establish Halloween music as a mainstream genre. This vibrant genre is increasingly recognized for its potential to bring festive energy to the spooky season, much like Christmas music does for its holiday.

Curating the Perfect Halloween Playlist

Halloween music isn’t just about eerie sounds and ghostly themes; it encompasses a wide variety of songs that evoke the spirit of the season. Recently, my friend group’s Music League theme revolved around Halloween-ish songs, and the submissions were eclectic and exciting. Some noteworthy contributions to the playlist included:

• The Specials
• David Bowie
• Death from Above 1979
