Halloween is finally here! You have your costume, your candy supply (which you may or may not keep to yourself), your decorations and spooky spirit. But there’s still one thing missing — your spooktacular soundtrack!
For this month’s playlist, I have you covered with more than 50 perfect tunes for all your BOOtiful Halloween festivities. Go and get your ghoul on, then scroll down for a few hand-picked treats (and several Halloween puns along the way 😊).
“bury a friend” – Billie Eilish
Billie’s entire ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ era is scary good. Its dark, moody singles like “bad guy” and “when the party’s over,” plus the overall story arc, are very well suited for the spookiest season of the year. “bury a friend” — one of my faves off the album — was inspired in part by an episode of sleep paralysis and written from the perspective of the monster under Billie’s bed. I already have chills!
