Whatever other Halloween treats you may decide to consume, it would seem prudent to avoid imbibing the potentially fatal “Love Potion #9.” Prescribed as a cure-all by the mysterious palm-reading Madam Ruth in The Clovers’ take on the Lieber and Stoller-penned smash, this deadly elixir (“It smelled like turpentine/it looked like Indian ink”) acts ...
A scary song of a different sort. The Eagles’ second hit single (and first Top Ten) was about as far from “Take It Easy” as it gets; there’s plenty more sexual paranoia here as Don Henley flashes back to an encounter that left his skin turning red. Apparently, he was reading about Zelda Fitzgerald at the time; he also does some vocal channeling of ...
With its soaring strings, pop hooks, and disco rhythms, 1975’s “Evil Woman” is pure dark magic. Looking to take a more radio-friendly direction with his fifth studio album, ELO founder and creative force Jeff Lynne pulled out all of the stops – scoring himself a Platinum album and his first major hit with “Evil Woman.” Fun fact: in his lyric “There...
Stephen King was a major Ramones fan and they loved him right back, name-checking him on the Pleasant Dreams album and then writing one of their last truly great songs for King’s film Pet Sematary. Though it’s a lot more jovial than the movie itself, Dee Dee’s lyric gives away some of the shivers in the plot, with a classic Ramones “I don’t wanna” ...
Perhaps best known for its use in various films (like the Scream series) and TV (Peaky Blinders), this Nick Cave tune evokes the spooky season better than just about anyone. Despite its easy-going bass line and relative lack of dissonance, listen closely to the lyrics and you’ll understand why some regard it as one of the scariest songs of all time...
Pink Floyd are often marked out as psychedelic stoners, but they had a few scary songs to their name. (“Careful With That Axe, Eugene,” anyone?) The guitar riffs on “Sheep” are the thing that makes this tune so frightening, with the instrument mimicking frightened sheep at various points.
Want to see demons in your sleep? This magnum opus from Throbbing Gristle has barely-there vocals with only a crying synth for accompaniment. Good luck getting to sleep after listening to this truly scary song.
No Halloween songs playlist would be complete without Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell On You” It’s been covered countless times, but nothing beats the original, with Jay’s incredible vocal delivery.
Rihanna’s chorus makes this Eminem hip-hop chart-topper an excellent addition to any Halloween song playlist: “I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed/Get along with the voices inside of my head/You’re tryin’ to save me, stop holding your breath/And you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy.”
The distinctive guitar on David Bowie’s tune is performed by none other than Robert Fripp, who is known for making a guitar sound like just about anything. Paired with metallic percussion and this one is clearly one of David Bowie’s scariest songs, perfect for Halloween.
