The Halloween Covers Playlist

I've been doing a bit of digital spring cleaning around the blog lately and discovered...I have a playlist of Halloween covers I started in 2019 I never shared.

Lucky you, that changes today! There are a lot of classic Halloween songs (like these or these) out there, but if you're tired of listening to them like I was...this is the perfect playlist for familiar favorites with a twist.

Let's get to listening!

Looking for more Halloween playlists?

Here are a few of my personal favorites from over the years:

• Spooky Little Summer - so many amazing 60s gems you'll love!

• Graveyard Party - my annual Halloween mix from 2016

• Vintage Halloween Songs - a favorite on Spotify

• Halloween New Wave - probably better titled my fave 80s alternative spooky tunes

• Halloween and Chill - still my fave playlist I've ever made for the blog
