Something Old New Borrowed Blue: Halloween Music Edition

Every year there is more then enough music to fill endless Halloween playlists. There’s nothing like a little spooky or dark music to set the ambience for one of the most fun holidays and definitely the scariest of them all. Here in the DC area there is always plenty of fun stuff to do for Halloween. This year 930 Club even has one of the coolest and most appropriate bands playing there on October 31st in Panic At The Disco. But if live music isn’t what is in the plans for Halloween set the mood with some great music. This week’s Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue is dedicated to All Hallow’s Eve.

Something Old features some of the best older Halloween songs that are still perfect for any modern playlist. Something New features some of the best songs from the past few years. Something Borrowed showcases some amazing cover songs and Something Blue showcases some of the sadder tunes, blues songs or songs that simply contain the word blue.

So whether it’s something ominous and creepy or something danceable and different there should be something on the list to satisfy all Halloween lovers. Just click on the link next to the song to hear it on You Tube. Also as a bonus at the end of the article there are links to last year’s very comprehensive four part list of Halloween songs that are organized into several creepy categories. But have a Happy Halloween regardless of whether it’s rockin out at live show in DC, going to a party or just trick or treating. But hopefully there is something below to get all the boils and ghouls out there in the mood for Halloween tomorrow.
