Below are my (you can call me DJ Boo) pick of the top 50 songs sure to get your Halloween party started off right! We all know the classics like Monster Mash and Purple People Eater, but I decided to stay away from tradition and go for a playlist that’s little more edgy and adult. Plus, I’m a huge fan of instrumentals, soundtracks and musicals so of course some of those have found their way onto the list.
