Little Gothic by Seraphim Shock
This track is a decadent waltz through velvet shadows—a perfect anthem for those who live on the darker side of beauty. With its theatrical vocals and baroque synth layers, Little Gothic channels early 2000s industrial glam with a vampire’s smirk. It’s playful, self-aware, and intoxicatingly macabre—ideal for anyone who thinks black lace and candlelight never go out of style.Bad Moon by Hollywood Undead
Part rap, part rock, and entirely restless, Bad Moon captures the chaos of a Halloween night gone feral. Its heavy beats and haunting verses invoke imagery of neon lights, back-alley brawls, and supernatural swagger. It’s less haunted mansion, more midnight riot—a perfect modern anthem for misfits under the moon.All Hallows Eve by Type O Negative
No Halloween list is complete without the dark romance of Type O Negative. All Hallows Eve drips with Peter Steele’s baritone charm and funeral-march riffs, a hymn for the restless and the damned. It’s slow, sensual, and otherworldly—like sipping red wine in a crypt while the candles burn low.Autumn by Bellamorte
Melancholy meets melody in this haunting ballad of fading leaves and fleeting love. Autumn captures the nostalgic ache of the season—the beauty in decay, the sweetness in loss. With its gothic sincerity and lush synths, it feels like the last dance before the first frost.Big Bad Wolf by Aesthetic Perfection
Big Bad Wolf is pure electro-predator energy—sleek, seductive, and savage. Daniel Graves prowls over pulsing beats with industrial precision, balancing danger with danceability. It’s the kind of song that turns the dance floor into a hunt, and the crowd into willing prey.Dragula by Rob Zombie
The undisputed king of Halloween anthems. Dragula roars with the sound of engines, bones, and heavy metal nostalgia. It’s gritty, unholy fun—part car crash, part monster movie, and the only track that can make grave-digging sound like a party.I’m Not a Vampire by Falling in Reverse
Ronnie Radke’s blend of sarcasm, addiction, and dark humor turns this track into a twisted self-portrait. It’s fast, flashy, and dripping with theatrical energy, a perfect bridge between emo confession and undead bravado. For all its chaos, it’s painfully human—and that’s what makes it bite.Werewolf by Motionless in White
A modern horror classic wrapped in gothic rock and cinematic flair. Werewolf howls with infectious choruses, pounding drums, and a transformation metaphor that’s both literal and emotional. It’s the perfect anthem for the monsters within us all.21 Bullets from The Retaliators
This one’s pure adrenaline—a brutal blend of heavy metal and cinematic tension. Featuring members of Motley Crüe and Papa Roach, 21 Bullets feels like a high-speed chase through hell. It’s less trick-or-treat, more vengeance and firepower—a perfect finale for your night of mayhem.This is Halloween – Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson covers “This Is Halloween” and he didn’t just reinterpret a cult classic — he transformed it into something truly macabre. Originally composed by Danny Elfman for The Nightmare Before Christmas, the song was already a mischievous ode to the macabre. But under Manson’s control, it becomes a menacing celebration of the grotesque, drenched in industrial darkness and gothic flair.
