There’s nothing worse than going to a Halloween party and hearing “The Monster Mash.” For the pop-metal loving crowd, you gotta play hard music that fits the theme of Halloween, even if the song itself isn’t about zombies or psycho killers. Heavy metal (not the ’80s hair band metal) with a pop twist is the perfect music for a non-lame Halloween party because it’s not cheesy and it’s not death metal, which is painful for most people to listen to.
I’m sure there are other songs that can be added to this list, and after the consumption of much alcohol, just about anything goes. But let’s start with the initial list of songs to get your party started.
