Part 1: Top 10 80s Halloween Songs

Kiss – Creatures of the Night

The rock band Kiss became popular mainly thanks to the striking appearance of its members, all of whom wore heavy makeup and spiky outfits. Looks aren’t everything, though, because Kiss also released some of the best Halloween songs from the 80s to boot.

Michael Jackson – Thriller

Thriller needs very little introduction at this point as it is hands down one of the most iconic 80s Halloween songs. Everyone will expect you to have it on your playlist so don’t disappoint your party guests.

Ray Parker Jr. – Ghostbusters

And here’s another incredibly famous 80s Halloween song that most of your guests will be familiar with. And if they’re not, that just means you’ll have the honor of introducing them to Ghostbusters.

David Bowie – Scary Monsters

Unfortunately, we lost the legendary David Bowie not too long ago but at least we’ll always have his music. The late artist left us a plethora of great music, including one of the best Halloween songs from the 80s, Scary Monsters.

Rockwell – Somebody’s Watching Me

Do you sometimes feel like somebody’s watching you? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Back in the 80s Rockwell felt the same way and ended up writing a great song about that exact feeling.

Queen – A Kind of Magic

It’s always a kind of magic whenever a Queen song starts playing, isn’t it? Make sure to keep that magic alive this Halloween with this track about ghosts and spirits.

Ramones – Pet Sematary

Coincidentally, a remake of Pet Sematary is currently in the works so this would be the perfect time to go back and watch the original. The movie contains multiple great 80s Halloween songs, including the main theme song performed by Ramones.

Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams

The signature song of Eurythmics that spawned countless covers and remixes over the years. While the Marilyn Mason cover is perfect for most Halloween parties, you’ll definitely want the original to truly travel back to the 80s.

Alice Cooper – Poison

Despite being released in late 1989, Poison managed to quickly become one of the most iconic Halloween songs from the 80s. You can’t have a proper Halloween party without this one.

Phil Collins – In The Air Tonight

It’s mysterious, it’s creepy, it’s one of the best 80s Halloween songs. We’re talking of course about In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.

Part 2: How to Download top 10 80s Halloween Songs from YouTube

If you want to create a truly great playlist of 80s Halloween songs you’ll want to download all these tracks from YouTube and store them on one of your devices. DVDFab YouTube to MP3 lets you do just that while also offering you the option of downloading entire playlists.

4. The software automatically starts downloading and converting the song/playlist as soon as you hit the Paste URL button so wait until the process is complete and then go to the destination folder and start playing.
