👑 Halloween Music Icons
The artists who built the sound of the season.
Alice Cooper
The original shock rocker — guillotines, snakes and a stage show built like a haunted house. Still touring this Halloween.
Rob Zombie
Metal's monster-movie maker — Dragula on the stereo, and behind the camera he directed House of 1000 Corpses and the Halloween remakes.
Danny Elfman
Fronted Oingo Boingo ("Dead Man's Party"), then wrote every song in The Nightmare Before Christmas — and sang Jack Skellington himself.
Kim Petras
Released two Halloween mixtapes — Turn Off the Light, Vol. 1 & 2 — with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, as a guest.
Ghost
A masked metal mass led by Papa Emeritus — "Dance Macabre" and "Mary on a Cross" turned their ritual into Halloween anthems.
Michael Jackson
"Thriller" didn't just top the charts — its video made Halloween musical, and it still rises every October.
John Carpenter
He directed Halloween (1978) and composed the theme himself — the most famous five notes in horror.
🪩 Halloween Pop
Pop royalty with a dark side — the songs that take over every October.
Lady Gaga
"Bloody Mary" became the Wednesday dance phenomenon — dark pop has a queen, and Halloween is her season.
Billie Eilish
"bury a friend" built a hit out of the monster under the bed — whispers, glitches and all.
Rihanna
"Disturbia" is the dark-pop staple that lands on Halloween playlists every single year.
