#3 The Monster Mash
The Monster Mash is one of the oldest and best known songs people usually play at Halloween. I even danced to it when I was a child. That’s why we call it a “classic,“ or a “golden oldie”

# 4 Werewolves of London
This song is always at the top of people’s Halloween music list because werewolves are scary creatures that people love to be afraid of. Can you howl like the singer can? Try it. It’s fun.

#8 Love Potion # 9
This song is about magic and magic potions, so it fits under the category of things that happen at Halloween. It’s also a romantic song, and everyone needs to sing a few slow songs – even at a party.
The “reaper” is a name that we often use for death, so this song fits perfectly into a Halloween theme because Halloween is all about death and spirits.
Thriller is he biggest selling album, song and video of all time. The complete video, which is 13 minutes long, changed the way music videos were made. Many people consider it their
favourite Halloween song and can even dance the dance. How about you?
