As all of the horror specials on TV are winding down, advertisements for costumes and haunted houses on the TV and radio grate your last nerve, and the jack-o-lanterns slowly start to sag on front stoops, Halloween is just about here. We are bringing you this list of tracks to get you in the mood for Halloween as we count down to the big day next Friday.

Not just any songs will do for our readers, however. None of the old standards that you get sick of hearing. This playlist is one that can double as the soundtrack to your Halloween party without sounding too hokey.
