Halloween’s on Sunday, which means Halloween’s tonight, Saturday night, and Sunday night. Obviously you are going to need some music. Here’s a playlist for your Halloween party, to stream while you lounge around in your Kanye West / Kanye West’s chain / Kanye West’s life coach / Kanye West’s trouser chain costume this weekend. It’s got lots of songs about monsters, ghosts, devils, curses, and blood, as well as a Halloween-friendly remix of “Pon De Floor” via Diplo’s Tweet. Enjoy, and let us know what we should add:
