Four Artists Share Their Favorite Halloween Tunes Ahead of Escape Halloween
Lisbona Sisters
We’re huge fans of lyrics, and starting a song with “Oh my God, we’re back again” is such a bold move. Nick Carter poses a series of questions and an ultimate command that gives off some toxic relationship vibes, but we’re here for it. We’d respond as if we’re in a complicated dynamic with him.
- “Am I Original?” Of course, you are, darling!
- “Am I the only one?” Spooky, but sure.
- “Am I sexual?” We are quite literally moving our bodies right now.
- “Am I everything you need?” This seems unhealthy; we’ve been focusing on self-validation.
- “You better rock your body now.” We already told you we’re doing that! Are you gaslighting us? Maybe it’s time to break up.
Regardless, we adore this song and its music video, and we’ll embrace it forever.
RayRay
My track with Dysmonia, titled “GRAVES.” This song encapsulates the spirit of Halloween perfectly, creating a spooky yet high-energy atmosphere. Its haunting soundscape, combined with heavy bass and dark melodies, makes it a fantastic addition to any haunted rave or Halloween party playlist.
Vastive
“Thriller” by Michael Jackson is my top pick. The rhythm and vibe bring a sense of fun to the darker side of Halloween. I also appreciate the iconic “Darkness falls across the land…” section, which remains one of my all-time favorite musical moments.
Cherry Lee
My ultimate Halloween track is “Witch Doctor.” It resonates with my essence, especially the version from the 2007 movie Alvin and the Chipmunks. The original was actually created in 1958 and inspired the Chipmunks franchise with its unique vocal technique. This catchy hit even helped salvage Liberty Records from bankruptcy—a fascinating story!
