October is coming to an end, so you know what that means: Happy Halloween! As a kid, it seemed that the holiday was made just for children to enjoy, but as I got older, I realized that everyone can get in on the fun!
So in honor of All Hallows’ Eve, I decided to do a mini-series to show my spirit. First up, my top 13 favorite Halloween-themed songs.
What you will be interested to know is that a few of the songs that will appear on this list, aren’t even really songs at all, but musical scores that were made for Halloween themed shows or movies, or songs with Halloween influenced beats or lyrics.
There’s also one song that was covered by a very popular child star for a Disney film starring Eddie Murphy. I hope that my list inspires you to share some of your favorite Halloween songs with us, or create your own lists.
