If you're still struggling to put together a list of jams for this weekend's festivities, torture yourself no longer (save that pain and anguish for that last-minute trip to the costume shop) -- we've got five free playlists from some top music discovery services to get you through this darkest of nights.
1. Slacker Radio: "Halloween Radio"
Slacker serves up a super fun station with a mix of old standbys like Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put a Spell on You," George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone," the Misfits's "Ghouls Night Out" and Warren Zevon's "Werewolves Of London." More kitschy than modern, Slacker's selection will work best for the kind of party where guests are actually willing to wear costumes -- you know, beyond that lazy kind (i.e. wearing a nametag that says, "Hello, I'm Hamlet").
2. Songza: "Halloween Station"
With 273 songs, Songza's curated playlist is truly a grab bag -- from the Hellraiser theme, to "I Would Die 4 U" by Prince, to cartoon vomit sound effects (I skipped that one). Choose this station if you're expecting a night of the unexpected.
3. Pandora: "Spooky Symphonies"
This is for the more classy among you -- but not too classy, because there's totally a song from Transformers on there. This station is all about moody drama, so if you're planning on inviting ex-lovers or friends to your soiree, you'll have a perfect soundtrack for the horror of emotions running wild.
4. Rhapsody: "Happy Halloween"
Rhapsody has tons of playlists to choose from, with themes ranging from vamp jams to witch-house tunes. If you don't have an account, you can only listen to 25 songs, but that should be plenty to get you going if you're throwing a pre-Halloween-party-party. Or you could pony over the $9.99 for a Rhapsody account and go all night.
5. VEVO: "Halloween Haunt-Down"
There are a ton of playlists floating around over at Vevo, and -- bonus -- they feature videos (obviously, since Vevo is a video site). If you're planning on throwing a more risque bash, this is the source for you, as lists feature a lot more contemporary, creepy jams like "Monster Hospital" by Metric, "Gunmen" by Them Crooked Vultures and "Skeletons" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
