10 Halsey Songs You Need On Your Halloween Playlist

Halloween is right around the corner! While you get your costumes and decorations ready, buy candy for yourself or trick-or-treaters, and figure out whose party you want to attend, don’t forget to build a playlist for the big night. Whether you’re spending Halloween alone or out with friends and strangers, we’re here to give you ten Halsey songs you need on your Halloween playlist.

‘Castle’

The first song on our list of Halsey songs you need to add to your Halloween playlist is the dark and onimious song ‘Castle,’ which comes from her debut album, Badlands. ‘Castle’ gives us all the royal vibes and emulates what it would be like to be crowned royalty. Put the song on your playlist for yourself or others who are in their villian era for Halloween, shifting into it, or thinking about it. Who doesn’t love a good song about being in your villian era? Furthermore, who wants to go to the castle with us? We’ll meet y’all there.

“I’m headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen…”

‘Hold Me Down’

‘Hold Me Down’ is another song that can be found on Badlands, and it oozes supernatural. It’s dark, gives occult vibes, and we could go on about it forever! This song is perfect for a Halloween playlist if you want to add a haunting and demonic element to your playlist. Oh, and let’s not forget everyone’s battles their own inner demons and need a confidence boost. This is a song we can’t help but love for a playlist!

“My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
I need them…”

‘Angel On Fire – Bonus Track’

Supernatural element? Check. Haunting? Check. Chilling? Check. Those are just some of the things that describes ‘Angel On Fire,’ a song that can be found on Halsey’s hopeless fountain kingdom (deluxe plus) album. Halsey paints an amazing picture of a fallen angel and gives the song a ghostly aura. We see no reason to not add this song to your Halloween playlist. People dressed as angels might appreciate it, alongside anyone with elite music taste!

“I’m standing in the ashes of who I used to be
And I’m fading away, you know, I used to be on fire…”

‘Devil In Me’

Want a way to follow up ‘Angel On Fire?’ Look no further than ‘Devil In Me.’ It’s only fitting and makes perfect sense, right? Like ‘Hold Me Down,’ this song gives off occult vibes. It’s dark, villainous in nature, intense, and so much more. Halsey finds themself wanting to be their true self but doubting whether they should because of what could happen as a result. It’s fitting, as one of the elements behind Halloween is about creatively expressing your true or imagined self through costume.

“I don’t wanna wake it up
The devil in me…”

‘Graveyard’

The Manic standout ‘Graveyard’ is the next song on our list! Graveyards (or cemeteries) can be many things. They’re, first and foremost, a place where those who passed are laid to rest. They’re also a place where people mourn their loved ones. On the other side of things, they can be eerie. Many people think they’re haunted and that ghosts roam around – whether you believe it or not, the song still makes a good song to add to your Halloween playlist. ‘Graveyard’ explores a gothic romantic love story where Halsey isn’t afraid to follow someone they’re interested in or in love with to a graveyard, or the end of their lives together.

“They say I may be making a mistake
I woulda followed all the way, no matter how far…”

‘3am’

We couldn’t create a list of Halsey songs for your Halloween playlist without mentioning ‘3am!’ The time 3 AM has different meanings in the world, with some people calling it The Witching Hour or Devil’s Hour. While the song lacks supernatural elements, the title makes it perfect for a Halloween playlist. Whereas the song itself gives us chaotic energy and psychological elements that keep you hooked as if you were under a spell. Very fitting, if you were to ask us!

“‘Cause it’s 3 AM
And I’m callin’ everybody that I know…”

‘Experiment On Me’

Chaotic, unhinged, menacing. These are just a few words we would use to describe ‘Experiment On Me.’ It isn’t surprising since the song is the soundtrack for a kick*ss scene of Birds of Prey, and it lets Halsey channel their inner Harley Quinn in all the right ways. They channeled her villainous and violent nature and rage so well! What’s a Halloween playlist without those things? Before we move to the next song, let us mention the ritualistic and witchy part of the bridge where Halsey sings, “You burnt the witches; now you’re defenseless.”

“I’m pretty like a car crash, ugly as a lullaby
You really wanna try it?
Experiment on me, experiment on me…”

‘Lilith’

If you’re familiar with Jewish folklore or a fan of Supernatural, it’s likely that you’ve heard of Lilith, Adam’s first wife who’s regarded as the first female demon. Like how Halsey channels Harley Quinn in ‘Experiment On Me,’ they channel Lilith on the song of the same name, which appears on their album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. They bring destruction, they rebel, and they compare something they’d do to a demon. That makes for a good song to have on your Halloween playlist, and K-Pop fans could even check out the version with SUGA!

“I am disruptive, I’ve been corrupted
And by now, I don’t need a f*ckin’ introduction…”

‘I Believe In Magic’

Do you believe in magic? We aren’t talking about the song from the 1998 Disney movie The Parent Trap. We’re genuinely asking if you believe in magic! If there’s a common theme in most Halloween movies, it’s the use of magic. This is a reason why ‘I Believe In Magic’ from Halsey’s The Great Impersonator makes the perfect addition to your Halloween playlist. We love how Halsey wasn’t afraid to let listeners know they believe in magic, among other things. After all, everyone wants to believe in something, whether it’s love, fairytales, or aliens, so why can’t magic be on the list?

“And I just wanted you to know
That I believe in magic and I still believe in sin…”

‘Alice Of The Upper Class’

The final track on our list of Halsey songs you need on your Halloween playlist is ‘Alice of the Upper Class!’ One of our favorite things about going to a Halloween party or event is that you might run into someone dressed like someone from a fairytale, including Alice. We love Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass! In the song, Halsey compares themselves to Alice and also references the fairytale Beauty and the Beast. This song, while it goes deeper than Halsey comparing herself to fairytale characters, is an upbeat jam that’s perfect for a Halloween playlist.

“Like Alice through the looking glass
I’m tired of the upper class
I wanna go back, go back, go back, go back, go back!“
