The song is complete with keyboards, synthesizers and stellar guest vocals from King of Pop Michael Jackson. “But why do I always feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone?” Take a trip back to 1984 and unlock the doors to the Twilight Zone as you listen to this classic R&B piece, which topped charts internationally and went viral on TikTok last year just ahead of Halloween. The off-kilter sound of the band reaches a new level of psychedelic pop on this song’s album, “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.” “Four Out Of Five” dives into the space-themed narrative of the album, and the ominous lyrical repetition toward the end of the song sets it apart as one of the band’s spookiest-sounding tunes.

Throughout the Arctic Monkeys’ entire discography, frontman Alex Turner’s enchanting voice sounds like it was made purposefully to voice a seductive spirit. Telling the story of someone close deceiving you, this song dishes heartfelt lines like “Gouging out my eyes / You made them burn and now you’ll pay the price.” Dunbar masterfully cracked the code for a Halloween pop bop with this short and sweet single. Rising alt-pop artist Isaac Dunbar combines a strong, catchy backing with eerie lyrics for a spooky product that will be on repeat as you take a trip to the dance floor. From the Arctic Monkeys to girl in red to Andrew Lloyd Webber, immerse yourself in a broad repertoire of sinister-sounding tunes. We curated a selection of unsettling melodies and haunting lyrics from both old school and new-era songs suitable for a Halloween party or a simply autumnal walk around campus.

Even though classics like “Monster Mash” and “Thriller” will do the job to set the spooky season mood, sift through some less popularized but equally creepy songs ahead of Halloween.
