Here are some of the best pop songs for Halloween. Top 40 songs about ghosts, witches, monsters and scary people. You'll need music to go along with your Halloween Party. Create a mix tape, um... I mean Mix CD for your party guests to enjoy. Add some dry ice (fog), black lights, carved jack-o-lanterns, and lots of candy. Don't forget to serve a brew of bloody mary's, black cat tea, and green goo juice. Crank up the tunes and boogie, man. (bad pun intended) here at Top2040, the Top 40 Halloween songs:
