It’s the spookiest time of the year; Halloween is right around the corner. But unlike the winter holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, Halloween seems to lack a defining canon of scary music. There’s, of course, “Monster Mash,” and “Ghostbusters,” but those songs aren’t actually bone-chilling. Is there a way to make music scary? In a live show from The Dalton School in New York City, Nate and Charlie try to unpack that very question, dissecting some of the scariest songs of all time to create their own spine-tingling, hair-raising Halloween anthem.

Songs discussed:

  • Bobby “Boris” Pickett – Monster Mash
  • Michael Jackson – Thriller
  • Ray Parker Jr. – Ghostbusters
  • Bernard Hermann – The Murder (From Psycho)
  • John Williams – Main Title (Theme From Jaws)
  • John Carpenter – Halloween, Main Title
  • Cannibal Corpse – Scourge of Iron
