Now Playing’s Halloween Playlist: Like a Heart Attack On a One Way Street

Need a soundtrack to fuel your Halloween festivities? The Now Playing Podcast team did the work for you!

To celebrate the spooky season, and one of our favorite times of the year, we’ve compiled a collection of our favorite tracks from our favorite horror and slasher flicks. This playlist, which you can find on the Now Playing Podcast YouTube channel, celebrates the best of the best from the Friday the 13^th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Lost Boys, The Monster Squad, and more.

We purposely steered away from scores, so you won’t find John Carpenter’s classic Halloween theme or “Tubular Bells” from The Exorcist. We love them, but we went with songs you could sing-along to at your party, in the car, or wherever.

Hope you enjoy, and Happy Halloween!
