It's not long now before dressing up as a witch, bat, ghoul, ghost or whatever to host the Halloween party you have planned on October 31st... Time is nearly upon you, and you don't want anything to spoil this special occasion. Your to-do-list should include, "hopefully" your Halloween costume, Halloween food, Halloween party decorations, and enough treats in the house to give to trick and treaters that come knocking on your door. It's something like this, if overlooked, will have the trickster play his or her role. Let's hope you're good at ducking from flour bombs, or scraping eggs of the door or you're face if it's not closed mighty fast. Why suffer for something seen by some as trivial, when in fact it's just as important as any other Halloween activity (tradition.)
Have you got everything you need and in order for your Halloween party? Out of all Halloween duties that's usually not given much thought because everyone's either busy painting on themselves devilish faces, putting white sheets over their head, or smearing blood around a pretend head wound, is the Halloween music.
If your guests have made an effort to dress up for your Halloween party then the least you can do is, give them just that, a party without the with-outs. Without proper Halloween music, then you can't really say you have got the planning right. There might not be true Halloween music, but there is plenty of tunes you can play that will fit in with the theme.
Below you will find a list of songs that will get your zombies, mummies, spooks or whatever onto the dance floor.
What better song to get your guests in the spirit (excuse the pun) of things, or ghoulish mood, is to have the turntable spin out the song "Monster Mash best-known song by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. The Monster Mash reached No.1 on October 20, 1962. Good songs don't die and the Monster Mash re-entered the Hot 100 eight years later, on August 29, 1970, and peaked at 91. On May 5, 1973 the song made a third re-entry reaching number 10. "Boris"Picketts, Monster Mash can only ever be hailed as Halloweens national anthem, nonetheless there are also some other spooky named fabulous tunes that go down well at Halloween parties.

For the freaks that like a "GHOUL" OLE SINGALONG below are the lyrics to the Monster Mash
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
My monster, from its slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
Chorus
He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash, and it's a graveyard smash
He did the Mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the Mash, he did the Monster Mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom, where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
Chorus
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman
Dracula, and his son
Chorus
Out of his coffin his voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid, shook his fist, and said
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"
