GiANT KiLLERSBiSH
Here’s a Halloween track from the rapidly rising, buzzworthy idol group BiSH.
The music video’s slightly psycho-horror vibe is perfect for the season.
The punk rock melody and fast-paced vocals will get you hyped.
Be sure to copy the choreography during the chorus!
SCREAMTōhōshinki
Released in 2013 as their 38th single, it was used as the theme song for the Kadokawa-distributed film “Sadako 3D 2” and appeared across many media.
I felt that both the song and the dance performance were crafted with an emphasis on eeriness.
It’s scary but cool.
A ghost by my pillowAiobahn & Yunomi
There are plenty of people who dress up like ghosts for cosplay and the like, right? How about listening to a song themed around “ghosts”? This track is a very poppy dance tune, perfect for listening at home and also great for playing at clubs.
The NutcrackerPyotr Tchaikovsky
A mysterious BGM that takes you to a slightly strange land.
It’s a tune you’ve probably heard somewhere before.
It might fit nicely between Halloween tracks.
It keeps the Halloween vibe while still being quiet enough to enjoy conversation.
Tales of the UnusualKuniaki Haishima
This is the main theme song from Tales of the Unusual.
Back then, if you didn’t watch this drama, you couldn’t join the conversation at school the next day.
It was scary to watch, though…
The song really brings the show’s world to life.
There are no duds on the soundtracks of hit movies and dramas.
It also works well for setting a Halloween mood.
Yokai Human BemUnknown
This is the opening theme song of the nostalgic and popular TV anime “Humanoid Monster Bem,” which aired from 1968 to 1969.
It’s a perfect fit for Halloween, with its imagery of monsters and demons—both the song and the anime.
Give it a try to boost your Halloween spirit.

The theme song from the horror film Halloween.
If you’ve seen the movie, you can probably picture scenes of its killer, Michael Myers, attacking someone.
