Our Halloween party playlist has 50 spooky floor fillers, from Thriller and Monster Mash to Ghostbusters, Bad Romance and Disturbia. It's free on Spotify and ready for a fancy dress party, a pub or club Halloween night, a work do, a teen party or a Halloween silent disco.
It starts with the classics everyone expects, creeps through dark rock from AC/DC, Metallica and Blue Öyster Cult then swings into modern pop with Lady Gaga, Doja Cat and The Weeknd. The Time Warp is near the end, so save your best moves.

Why these songs work
A good Halloween playlist needs more than novelty songs. Thriller and Monster Mash bring the fun, but the night really lifts when the big rock riffs and dark pop anthems kick in. This one balances all three so the costumes keep moving all night.
Every track has a spooky link, whether it's devils, witches, ghosts or just a menacing beat. You'll hear Sympathy for the Devil next to Seven Nation Army, then Paint the Town Red and Unholy for the younger crowd.
The order matches our Spotify playlist exactly, so you can follow along here while it plays.
Bring this playlist to life at a silent disco
Imagine a room full of witches, zombies and vampires, each wearing glowing wireless headphones. Load the spooky classics onto channel 1, give channel 2 to our rock anthems playlist and save channel 3 for our dance playlist. One tap of the channel button and a ghost can flip from Monster Mash to Highway to Hell.
The headsets glow red on channel 1, blue on channel 2 and green on channel 3, which looks spectacular in a dark room full of costumes. Guests control their own volume wheel and can switch off with the on/off button to share a scary story. It's ideal for village halls, bars, student nights and anywhere with neighbours close by.
Want someone else to do the hard work? Our Full Service crew brings the kit to venues in South Wales and West Wales, sets it up before the first guest arrives and clears it away at the end. Prefer to run it yourself? DIY hire lands on your doorstep anywhere on the UK mainland or in Northern Ireland. Book your Halloween silent disco.
