Halloween is a lot more than just trick or treating, jack-o-lanterns and spooky stories. It is a season to be merry and happy. Not exactly Christmas, but it’s always bound to be fun around Halloween. What better way to spruce up the season than to make merry and dig up some good old Halloween tunes to jazz up that Halloween songs playlist!
Michael Jackson’s Thriller is obviously one of the Halloween song playlist classics. This is largely due to the fact that the song is featured in one of the most popular Halloween dance music videos of all time.
