That's a good one, thanks so much. I've added it to the list!

I'll admit, its not one that I knew of before I began my hunt for this playlist, but I'm glad for finding a bunch of eclectic stuff

Of course, here's the list.

For a lot of folks, its gonna be a list to pick an choose out of, as its a huge mix of everything reasonably Halloween, so it bounces around a lot in style and tone.

(a little background on the reasoning of what's in there.)

First, the primary thing, what gets it on the list;

• It's explicitly about Halloween, ghosts, demons, ect
• Its spooky / haunting or closely associated with things that are (ie, some movie soundtrack pop songs)
• mentions ghosts/ demons as metaphor, but is also spooky. (things that are metaphorical but lack the appropriate sound generally don't make the cut)

And some caveats;

• some things get a pass on the 3rd point above, as it has been a struggle to find modern music (<10yrs) that qualifies. I've been trying to keep it from becoming a typical '80's music list' like you usually see on a Halloween list.
• Generally, I try to include a few items from any given artist. Because otherwise it would become dominated by certain artists (ie, Lordi)
• For the sake of not being boring, certain versions of songs you might expect are intentionally excluded from the list. No BBP Monster Mash for example, there's a cover instead. (some get a pass here, like Thriller and Ghostbusters). Also, some are covers because I'm based in Canada, and our Spotify doesn't have the license for the song here (ie, OG Buffy Theme)
• Naturally, its dominated by Punk, Emo, Goth, Metal and soundtracks. I try to expand beyond that, but of course other genres tend away from this sort of thing.
• and finally, its like a 6 or 7 year work in progress, which I haven't given an edit pass yet this year, so of course I'm open to input

And finally, I'm open to thoughts and suggestions. (following the guidelines above)

Yeah, for sure. I've been manually cultivating a Halloween playlist for a few years now, and it's surprising how many obscure songs I've found that are turning up on these auto-gen playlists.
