Have you ever wondered what the hell “Sympathy for the Devil” has to do with Halloween? The answer is nothing. Yet it’s played every October because there just simply aren’t enough decent Halloween songs out there.
Halloween music is a bit like Halloween candy. The ratio of what’s actually good is far outweighed by the endless pile of Sun-Maid raisin boxes, candy corn, and Tootsie Rolls that you’re leftover with. When digging through the analogical loot bag, “Thriller” is to a full-sized Kit Kat what MC Hammer‘s “Addams Groove” is to the toothbrush some do-gooder handed out while winking at your mom. And just like bite-sized candy bars and mini bags of Cracker Jack, there’s only so much of even the most nostalgic Halloween music you can have shoved down your throat before the gag reflex says no más.
Halloween Music Playlist For Adults
There are a lot of Halloween playlists out there and 80% of them are utter crap. Trust me, I just did the research and it wasn’t a joy. That’s why I’ve reached deep inside to dig up a less torturing list of more non-traditional Halloween music.
That’s right, no love for Will Smith and his cheesy Halloween song “Nightmare On My Street” that was rejected from the soundtrack for the 1998 film A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Axed are the campy songs of the ’50s when record companies squeezed whatever profit they could out of teens by combining a go-nowhere trend called rock n’ roll with the popularity of drive-in monster movies. God bless “Ghostbusters” and “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” but you’ll likely hear those on FM radio or during your office pumpkin-carving contest (“Awww, it’s a Minion. Great job, Kathy!”).
Fair warning, this playlist of Halloween music for adults is full of rap, hip-hop and metal tracks.
