I hate holiday playlists. Most have the same corny songs from year to year, while others miss the point of the holiday entirely. Halloween playlists in particular are guilty of this. Halloween is a holiday to glorify all things creepy, supernatural and fantastic, so I set out to make a playlist to embody that. From witch house favorites Crystal Castles and Crim3s to goth heroes The Cure, and even a nod to Stranger Things, this playlist is certified to send a shiver up your spine.
