Tomorrow is Halloween! This is seriously my favorite holiday (followed pretty closely by Thanksgiving), and so naturally, I’m going to restart “on rotation” with a very short list of the songs I’d pick for my hypothetical Halloween party.

Like … I have a strangely large and eclectic collection of songs that are perfect for this, even if they’re not the traditional “Spooky, Scary Skeletons” vibe, so I’m gonna use that random assortment that lives in my head rent-free to my advantage.

1 “Season of the Witch” / Lana Del Rey

2 “Could Have Gone Mad” / Poe

3 “Psycho Killer” / Talking Heads

4 “Scary Monsters And Super Creeps” / David Bowie

5 “Monster” / Lady Gaga

6 “Weird Science” / Oingo Boingo

7 “She Wolf” / Shakira

8 “Howl” / Florence and the Machine

9 “People Are Strange” / The Doors

10 “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” / Bauhaus
