No holiday is complete without the proper music. Christmas has Bing Crosby and his silver balls and mistletoe. Independence Day has John Phillips Sousa, and Valentines Day has Lionel Richie. But Halloween, with it’s songs about dancing monsters and stuff like that is the king of ‘em all, y’all. So let’s dig a little deeper. Let’s get into some really eerie shit. Here’s ten of the creepiest songs I could find!
Styx, “Witch Wolf”
Despite the badass name, Styx is not known for being particularly intimidating or scary, but this early effort is pretty hardcore.
Misfits, “Demonmania”, Earth AD
No Halloween is complete…
