Top Ten Halloween Songs: From Pop to Classical

Top Ten Halloween Songs: From Pop to Classical - The large majority of my picks fall into the category of fun and upbeat that make you want to sing along or get up and dance.

Number two goes back many year to a fun little song.

Number three is often the first song that comes to mind with people when they think of Halloween.

3. Thriller - Michael Jackson

Number four takes me back to the classic horror films.

4. Prelude and Fugue in F minor on organ - Bach

For number five I choose a song from the early pop/rock era. It isn't scary it is just another fun song.

5. Spooky - Classics IV

Number six is a campy little tune by Warren Zevon.

6. Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

Number seven is a song that most people won't be familiar with but should look up.

For number eight I go to the extravaganza rock opera era.
