Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to hear something strange?

Another year, another batch of Halloween parties to attend/accidentally miss. Perhaps you’re hosting one this year? Or just fancy getting spooked? Look no further as we have the Halloween playlist you need for 2016.

To kick things off, we’ve included the classics, such as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Ray Parker’s “Ghostbusters”, and Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”.

Then, to get everyone a little on edge, there are the themes from numerous horror films, including “Halloween”, “The Twilight Zone”, and “The Exorcist”.

Of course, you need to get the party going. The Killers, Kanye West, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga should do the job. Plus Will Smith, of course.

Not into Pop? Worry not, as things settle down into some rock’n’roll, thanks to The Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Electric Light Orchestra, all topped off by Dusty Springfield’s “Spooky”. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify below.

Perhaps you’d rather go back and relive Halloween 2014? Well then, check out our 2014 playlist here.
