Beyoncé – Haunted (Official Video)

Often hailed as one of the greatest vocalists in music history and a constant breaker of records, Beyoncé has released many songs that, while rooted in R&B and soul, incorporate a wide range of musical styles.

It might surprise some people to learn that she has a track that’s perfect for Halloween.

The song “Haunted,” featured on her 2013 album Beyoncé, also appears on the soundtrack for the film Fifty Shades of Grey.

Beyoncé’s enveloping, sultry vocals give the song an alluring edge, and its music video emphasizes eerie, nightmarish imagery.

Perhaps for that reason, the track has become popular overseas as Halloween background music.

If you’re aiming for a Halloween vibe that’s not just fun but also seductive and a little spooky, be sure to check it out!

Blutengel – Vampire (Official Music Video)

Blutengel is an electric music group from Germany.

They specialize in gothic songs, and themes like “blood,” “death,” “immortality,” “vampires,” and “love” appear in most of their tracks.

Their sound is perfectly suited for Halloween.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Vampire.

As the title suggests, it’s themed around vampires, and its distinctive melody evokes the 1980s—reminiscent of Dead or Alive.
