Perhaps because Halloween is a comparatively contemporary holiday, divorced from its religious roots and having no set icon (Stingy Jack being the most popular pick at this), there aren't any traditional Halloween carols played on repeat on the radio or sung door to door. Sure, there have been attempts at codifying certain pop tunes as Halloween Songs — such as Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash" or Michael Jackson's "Thriller" — but these can of course be listened to at any time of the year, and are only popular around Halloween for their "scary" themes. Ditto horror movie scores. Still, Halloween Specials and/or the occasional Halloween Episode will often have their own songs about the holiday itself, and these will typically focus on either the general idea of what the holiday is about or a specific aspect such as dressing up in costumes, free candy, making jack-o'-lanterns, free candy, innocently scaring or pranking people, and free candy. Compare Fear Song. Sister Trope to Christmas Songs and Anti-Christmas Song. See also The Dead Can Dance, Skeletal Musician, Xylophones for Walking Bones, and Monster Mash. A common version is the Michael Jackson's Thriller Parody. |

In the one of the Cheers "Bar Wars" episodes set at Halloween, the rival bar pranks Cheers by rigging their jukebox to play "Monster Mash" incessantly. Sam is annoyed by the song but concedes it is Actually Pretty Funny. (In syndication, the song was replaced with "Vampire Twist" by Brave Combo.) | |

Saturday Night Live: In "Spooky Song," a pair of teenagers try to hook up in a graveyard during Halloween Night, only for four ghosts to appear and sing about how they each died. One of the ghosts insists on not sharing his story (played by Chance the Rapper), only for the others to make him divulge in order to return to their graves. He reveals that he electrocuted himself to death with a lightning rod up his ass because batteries no longer did it for him. In the sketch "Graveyard Songs," a pair of visitors (Sasheer Zamata and Pete Davidson) wander into a graveyard at night on Halloween, only for the grim reaper statue, a tree and two headbust gravestones to come alive and start singing a jolly halloween tune (the titular Graveyard Song). Unfortunately for them, a pair of ghosts named Paul and Phil (played by (Jim Carrey and Taran Killam) try singing along, but their lyrics derail the song's intent and they spoil the riddle the singers had for the couple. In the sketch "Haunted Elevator," the guests on a Halloween ride are bewildered to discover that the majority of floors feature David S. Pumpkins (Tom Hanks), who comes complete with his own theme song, a wacky dance track to which he boogies with two skeletons. |
