Whether you're going to Franklin Street, a frat party, contributing to the mass genocide of pumpkins everywhere or holding a Oujia party with dead people in your common room, Recess has got you covered. We present the Halloween playlist:
"Video Games" by Lana Del Rey
All Lana Del Rey songs are spooky. This is the first one that came up when I googled her—Dillon Fernando
"Zombie” by Fela Kuti
If you have twelve and a half minutes to spare, give this essential Afrobeat track a spin (not to be confused with the one by the Cranberries) and try to ignore the fact that this protest song was apparently enough for the Nigerian military to justify raiding Kuti’s home, burning it to the ground and tossing his elderly mother out of a window to her death. Happy Halloween!—Will Atkinson
"Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads
It reminds me of chilly autumn days spent holed up in my house, playing this song on Rock Band 2 and mumbling horribly through all of the parts in French. It’s also spooky and fun for Halloween!—Nina Wilder
"Stand by Me" by Mona
It sounds really cool, and some of the lyrics in the beginning are Halloween themed—Keyin Lu
"Wannabe" by Spice Girls
October is a month for pumpkin spice, and what better complements this overused flavor combination than Spice Girls?—Tim Campbell
"When It Rain" by Danny Brown
Danny Brown's verses are typically upsetting, but what puts this song over the top is the spine-tingling production, which teeters on the edge of a drop through several jarring verses. It's a song that wanders by, looks at you through the window, licks its teeth menacingly—and wanders off again, deciding that it'll save you for later—Alex Griffith
“Zombie Zoo” by Tom Petty
This is, in my opinion, one of his best songs. It’s spookily fun to dance to!—Christy Kuesel
"Where the Wild Roses Grow" by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
No comment—Drew Haskins
"Come Back to Me" by Vanessa Hudgens
It's a spooky song — Kirby Wilson
