Our Halloween Dinner Party Playlist

Whether you love Halloween or not, it’s always a good time to get together with people you love. If you want to celebrate but keep it low key, we love a dinner party. Consider it your Thanksgiving trial run, and only get as intricate as you want. Have everyone bring their favorite fall dish, or a bag of Halloween candy just for fun! If you can, pop on some Halloween music in the background, and you’re all set. 

Monster Mash - by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

This song is a little dangerous, because it’s hard to resist dancing! This Bobby Pickett classic turns any moment into a party. 

Ghostbusters - by Ray Parker Jr.

Of course, any Halloween playlist is incomplete without this quintessential theme song. It’s nothing if not nostalgia and fun. Who ya gonna call? 

Superstition - by Stevie Wonder

Black cats, broken mirrors, and other spooky omens like these can’t distract from a bass line as groovy as this. 

This is Halloween - by Danny Elfman

The title says it all. There’s nothing like the intriguing spirit of both fun and fright that Halloween brings, and Life's no fun without a good scare! 

Spooky Scary Skeletons - by Andrew Gold

For such a frightening proposition, this song still offers an unrivaled level of pep and cheer, so shake off the lazybones and dance a little!

I Put a Spell on You - from Hocus Pocus

We recommend this version inspired by Hocus Pocus, since the Sanderson Sisters might just be the unofficial voices of the holiday. 

Spooky - by Classics IV

There really is no better time to listen to Classics IV croon and groove with one of history’s best saxophone solos. After all, love is kind of crazy.

Next, all you need is to set the table with a few too many candles, googly eyes, or fake cobwebs. Our favorite wine for this time of year is our Night Owl Barbera, with our spooky nocturnal friends honored right on the front.
