The 20 Spookiest Kids’ Halloween Songs!

by Amber on September 12, 2009

in Playlists

Halloween may not be ’till next month, but I’m already getting excited. Ivan is going to be a Fireman!

I was looking through our CD collection for some fun Halloween songs to get us in the spirit and found two great ones: Laura Freeman’s Frankenstein and Steve Blunt’s Pumpkins, Beware.

So, I asked around for more suggestions and found that Steve had a wonderfully spooky collection of assorted Kid-Friendly Halloween Songs on his iTunes. I added a couple more and voilà! We’ve got a spine-tingling holiday playlist fit for tots and fun for mom and dad, too!

  1. Boo, Cackle, Trick or Treat by Sue Schnitzer: Ready for a funky Halloween night?
  2. Monsters in the Bathroom by Bill Harley: A Halloween classic!
  3. Pumpkins, Beware by Steve Blunt: Halloween is really scary if you’re a pumpkin!
  4. Old Witch by Ken Lonnquist: The classic rhyme about the old witch—don’t get too close!
  5. The Moonlight Wolfbite Batjuice Jamboree by Erin Lee & Marci: Yes, this song is as fun as its title suggests.
  6. Hey, Hey It’s Halloween by Two of a Kind: This song may help you come up with a good costume idea.
  7. The Good Times Goose Bumps Motel by Judy Pancoast: Dance and get silly!
  8. Maybe the Monster by Justin Roberts: Why is there a monster under your bed? What is he doing under there?
  9. Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet by Monty Harper: Don’t forget the tricks on Halloween!
  10. Creature Teacher by Mr. Billy: The spookiest teacher ever!
  11. Five Little Pumpkins by Raffi: Another Halloween classic.
  12. Another Halloween Night by Janet Sirett: Boogey woogey while you trick or treat.
  13. Jump Down, Turn Around, Pick Yourself a Pumpkin by Earthlings Electric Washboard Band: I just love the rhythm of this song.
  14. The Horrible, Hungry (Ex-) Beast by Steve Blunt: A scary story for Halloween.
  15. The Boogey Woogey Man by Marla Lewis: Just try not to snap your fingers to this one.
  16. Oh, My Darlin’ Pumpkintine by David Polansky: Yep, it’s Clementine with pumpkins!
  17. Frankenstein by Laura Freeman
  18. Daddy’s Little Pumpkin by John Prine: What kind of guy was Frankenstein really?
  19. Goosebumps by Katherine Dines: Shivery goose bumps!
  20. Spooky Dance by Rebecca Frezza: A great rock-and-roll beat to get you in the mood!

Hi there,

We have a fun Halloween song on our last album called “Spooky Dance.” If you have a chance, give it a listen and let us know what you think! Here’s a link to the Myspace page where you can hear it: http://www.myspace.com/rebeccafrezza
You can also find it on iTunes.

Have fun!
