I have seen many Halloween playlists in the past and it always struck me (as things unexpectedly do at this time of year) that they tend to feature the same songs. There are of course some great ones like "I put a Spell on You" by either Screamin’ Jay Hawkins or Nina Simone, "Lullaby" by The Cure, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Bela Lugosi’s Dead" by Bauhaus… I could continue but instead, I thought I would put together an alternative Halloween playlist, including just a few old favourites.

Wishing you a ghoulishly delightful Halloween,

Nick
