No Halloween would be complete without some great music, and if you're in dire need of a playlist, you've come to the right place.  Here are ten classic rock songs that should be on your Halloween playlist.

The Zombies - "She's Not There"

Honestly, we could’ve picked any song by the Zombies for this list, but this was and will always be a killer groove.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Bad Moon Rising"

A fitting addition to this list.

Eagles - "Witchy Woman"

Halloween: Ain’t it a…witch.

Ramones - "Pet Sematary"

Only Stephen King could get the Ramones to write a song for his movie.

Blue Oyster Cult - "Don't Fear The Reaper"

Bonus:  If you’re looking for a last-minute costume, can you say “More Cowbell?”

Alice Cooper - "Welcome To My Nightmare"

Honestly, we could have just a playlist of only Alice songs, but this iconic tune is a MUST for Halloween.

Ozzy Osbourne - "Bark At The Moon"

(See explanation for Alice Cooper’s “Welcome To My Nightmare.”)

Talking Heads - "Psycho Killer"

Qu'est-ce que c'est? An amazing song!

Warren Zevon - "Werewolves Of London"

This one will surely make you howl with Halloween spirit.

AC/DC - "Night Prowler"

More sexy than spooky, but still an outstanding track in the AC/DC catalog.
