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 eight rock songs that should be on your Halloween playlist.

Metallica – “For Whom The Bell Tolls”

The ominous ringing bell is just spooky enough to kick off your Halloween.

Radiohead – “Creep”

Some may ask, “What the hell is this song doing on the list?”  But it does belong here.

AC/DC – “Night Prowler”

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

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.”)

Blue Oyster Cult – “Don’t Fear The Reaper”

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

Ramones – “Pet Semetery”

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

Avenged Sevenfold – “Nightmare”

A perfect song to end the perfect playlist.
