3. "Thriller" (1982) by Michael Jackson
The Vincent Price laugh still packs a wallop and everyone will fondly remember the days when Michael was just another child pop star becoming an adult. The song was accompanied by one of the most famous pop music videos ever.
4."Tubular Bells Pt. 1" (Theme From 'The Exorcist') (1973) by Mike Oldfield
Can you say creepy? The producers of The Exorcist knew what they were doing when they chose this song for a theme.
5."The Time Warp" (1975) by Rocky Horror Picture Show' Soundtrack
Every party needs a group dance moment. "The Time Warp" is easy to follow. The song tells you how. "It's just a jump to the left..."
6."Ghost Town" (1981) by Specials
The original point of the song had to do with U.K. economic woes, but the musical sense of foreboding, darkness and empty streets works well at Halloween.
7. "Hell" (1997) by Squirrel Nut Zippers
Graphic tales of what could happen in the afterlife and singalong spelling of "D-A-M-N-A-T-I-O-N." Happy Halloween!
