Halloween/Spooky songs from the last decade

[kcdawg13]

We all know the classics, but as we enter spooky season I wanted to know in your opinion which songs released in the last decade (2010-onward) are the best Halloween/Halloween sounding songs. I'm looking for some new classics.

Heads up, Disturbia doesn't count cuz it was released in '08, however it is a great modern Halloween staple.

Well, it did work surprisingly well as background music for those horror movie trailers last year.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

Look What You Made Me Do

[Private Dancer]

Friends by Marshemello is definitely one that gives me Halloween vibes

[notgoodenglish]

Heathens by twenty one pilots.

[Walking Contradiction]

Especially the Benny Benassi and Tiesto remixes which are total party bops

Heck, it was even #1 on Halloween, which has got to be one of the most fitting things to ever happen on the Hot 100.

[SPRΞΞ]

Silent Running - Mike & the Mechanics


oops, you said last decade. Oh well, it's still one of the best.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

Mo Bamba is a stain on the music industry, it makes guys have their dicks instantly shrivel and girls have their pussy go dry. The Ben Shapiro of Hip-Hop.

Highlighted a few others I think will be staples for Halloween

Also adding a few suggestions, if you don't mind:
Instead of Graveyard for Halsey, Control/Gasoline/Ghost
For Lorde, I think Team, Glory and Gore or her cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World are creepier than Flicker
Also surprised 'bad guy' and 'Pity Party' weren't in your playlist
