Hi everyone! I know I said my post about ghost story was the only spooktober post this year, but I suddenly had another idea so this year, you’re getting 2 halloween-themed posts! 🎃
First came 8tracks, and then spotify. Before the internet, I wasn’t much of a music person. I listened to it, yes, and maybe recorded some songs from the radio using cassette tape, but I didn’t listen to it 24/7. I didn’t created 329847834832 playlists for different time of the year, for different moods, or even for different characters. As we are quickly approaching the peak of spooky season, I figure why not share some songs/playlists that I have on my rotation on October? So that’s the post for today and I hope you’ll find some tunes to spice up your Halloween night! 🔮
Florence + The Machine – Seven Devils
If there is any album that embodies the dark, witchy vibe of halloween, it’s Florence’s Ceremonials album. The whole album is just perfect, but my absolute favorite that always give me dark imagery is Seven Devils. From the lyrics to the melody, it’s just impossible to associate anything except this time of the year.
Disney Halloween
If you’re looking for something more fun, this playlist is my go-to fun halloween playlist! It has A LOT of Nightmare Before Christmas (aka my favorite) and perfect for sing-a-long!
Emily Browning – Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
This is just soo eerie and haunting! The vocals and the music box sounds mixed really well.
Taylor Swift – Reputation
Look, Red is THE embodiment of fall with Folklore being the cottage-core, more indie sister of Red. But Reputation has that dark, edgy vibe perfect for horror movie marathon with your friends!
[insert song title] but [insert scenario]
There are a lot of videos on youtube for different songs and different scenarios and exploring them are honestly one of my favorite youtube activities! The ideas are just very creative and most of them always hits the feels for me.
What songs remind you of halloween 🕯 aesthetics 🕯?
For me it’s the most of The Vampire Diaries soundtrack haha, great song choices though 🙂

I recognize that YouTube channel! Literal aesthetic goals 😍 I recently did a Cardan inspired playlist since he’s this wicked and dark character so I thought it was fitting of Spooky season! https://jawahirthebookworm.com/2020/10/27/music-for-books-cardan-the-cruel-prince/

Oh wow I had no idea that the [insert song] but you’re [insert place] was a thing, that’s so cool! Definitely going to look those up later. That version of ‘Sweet Dreams’ is incredible and I feel like I need to watch ‘Sucker Punch’! Hmm…I can’t really think of many songs that remind me of Halloween specifically 😂 Maybe Blood // Water by grandson?
