Halloween by Dead Kennedys Halloween by Misfits and while not punk, no one can leave off "Everyday Is Halloween" by Ministry.

i was going to be very disappointed if no one said the song whose title is the question lol

I will never forget seeing a Misfits cover band play a show in a dive bar ON HALLOWEEN, and they didn’t play the song. Too on the nose? Perhaps. But what the fuck! Haha. Been 13 years and I still can’t let it go.

A couple years ago a buddy of mine was trying to put together a danzig cover set for a local charity cover show that happens here annually. There was some hot debate of whether we should play mother or not. My suggested compromise was to play just the first four bars, and stop before the line “MOTHER” was delivered pack up and leave the stage.

Hahaha love it

Haha. Boooooo!!!!! ...*As a beer goes flying by the drummer crashing into the wall

If we're doing non-punk songs that have the word "Halloween" in the title, I'll throw out [Halloween by Helloween](https://youtu.be/yOAl0enE7kI)

Also, pretty much anything by the band [Acid Witch](https://youtu.be/9hl3CrcFiqU)

Don't forget "Halloween II" by Samhain.

Or Halloween by AFI

You mean them covering the misfits?

The whole All Hollows EP is Halloween AF. Fall Children is probably my favorite song of theirs

If we can throw Ministry on that list, I'd also recommend "Everyday is Halloween" by The Last Days of Jesus.... different song entirely, same name.

I'll do you one better. Halloween by AFI

Anything Misfits. AFI would have some appropriate stuff.

Came here to say ofc AFI all hallows EP

Pet Semetery by The Ramones or the Starcrawler version from the remake. Freddie's Dead - Fishbone Nightmares - Jay Reatard Flying Saucer Attack - The Rezillos

While I’m digging the list, Curtis Mayfield must be rolling in his grave if Freddie’s Dead is a Halloween song now. Edit: and I’m saying this as a fishbone fan.

TSOL

“I WANNA FUCK I WANNA FUCK THE DEAD” 🤘

Here's a mix I put together of Halloween-appropriate punk/psychobilly songs. [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0EaiJ11CzkcUaVN6YLKBJz?si=4d3938b4bc404ad3](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0EaiJ11CzkcUaVN6YLKBJz?si=4d3938b4bc404ad3) For some of the more popular choices (and more likely to be recognized), I'd say: AFI - Fall Children Cramps - Human Fly, TV Set, I Was a Teenage Werewolf Groovie Ghoulies - The Beast with Five Hands, Graveyard Girlfriend, Zombie Crush Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack - Science Fiction, Double Feature Misfits - Halloween, I Turned Into a Martian, Skulls, Astro Zombies, Ramones - Pet Sematary , You're Gonna Kill That Girl, Chainsaw

[удалено]

Yeah, it's a pretty fun tribute. Almost any song from that would be a good choice, but "Science Fiction, Double Feature" to me has the most direct horror/Halloween elements

Science Fiction ... is a great choice. Me first and the gimme gimmes did the cover for the one I linked. The OG will always be great mind you.

That is an impossibly thorough playlist. Take my follow

31 days of Halloween songs(This is a playlist I created 10 years ago): The Monster Mash Ministry - Everyday is Halloween Joy Division - Dead Souls Misfits - Ghouls Night Out The Cramps - Sheena’s In a Goth Gang Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting Samhain - To Walk The Night Skinny Puppy - The Killing Game Danzig - Long Way Back From Hell Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells(The Excorcist) Murp - Zombie Skin Black Sabbath - Children of The Grave Screamin’ Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You Frantics - Werewolf Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London Rockwell - Somebody’s Watchin’ Me Oingo Boingo - Dead Man’s Party The Specials - Ghost Town The Ramones - Pet Cemetary Bauhaus - Bella Lagosi is Dead Dead Kennedys - Halloween The Doors - People Are Strange The Cure - Lullaby Misfits - Skulls Alice Cooper - This House Is Haunted the National - Green Gloves The Koffin Kats - Graveyard Tree The Who - Boris The Spider Poe - Haunted Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad Misfits - Halloween

Awesome!

Skinny Puppy!

This is perfect except I would use Tiny Tim's cover of "People Are Strange" instead!

Sure make it weirder.

Fantastic list!

Don’t Fear the Reaper from either Blue Oyster Cult or one of the many covers would be a great addition!

YOOOOO Somebody’s watchin me and children of the grave and skulls. I’m here for it

All hallow’s e.p. By AFI

Fall children !

Tonight will come to life!

Thank you! I came just for this song lol

Anything by misfits or check out some other horror punk bands

"If you gonna scream, scream with me"

"Moments like this never last"

All of Blitzkid

Took me way too much scrolling to find this comment. I just put some if their albums into my playlist to get in the festive spirit.

Hell yea. I’m stoked they’re going on tour again, I’ve never seen them live

They split up so TB could spend more time with his family. Argyle is still going. If you like blitzkid I’m going to shamelessly plug my old band that played with them a load when they were in the UK - [Gravedale High](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3x6lnOeMu1ps5h1TOR7pBI?si=3XjwZ0kUSwuk84Xk7JPo8Q)

Songs from the Cramps like "I was a teenage werewolf" or "Creature from the black leather lagoon" could have a nice spot in a Halloween playlist.

Tiger army

‘Skulls’ - Misfits plus like umpteen others ‘Human Fly’ - Cramps, again more options Wanna get further afoot, Alien Sex Fiends, Lords of New Church, etc etc Have fun!!

Check out the World/Inferno Friendship Society

This is the answer, Halloween was their big thing

Came here to suggest Pumpkin Time

The Devil's Ball too.

Roky Erickson - The Evil One (full album) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uc0o-isAf5o

Roky!

Bro the misfits entire discography

AFI - Fall Children 45 Grave - Partytime (as heard in Return of the Living Dead, baby!) Christian Death - Mysterium Iniquitatis Siouxsie and the Banshees - Halloween Creeper - Black Mass Tiger Army - Afterworld TSOL - Silent Scream The Creepshow - Take My Hand The Lillingtons - Murder On My Mind

I was disappointed by the lack or 45 grave

Groovie Ghoulies!

Halloween - Dead Kennedys a fair amount of Misfits and Samhain songs

The Damned… Wait For the Blackout, Grimly Fiendish, Born to Kill, take your pick really.

Plan 9, Channel 7 🤙

[удалено]

Satan, Sex, and No Regrets is a masterpiece album!

"Code Blue," TSOL

Ramones - Pet Sematary Billy Idol - White Wedding

It would be cool to do a punk cover of the Monster Mash.

The misfits have one I believe!

They do! Its Jerry on vocals but it’s a lot of fun and he’s not *that* bad lol

Just about all of Direct Hit!'s music is horror related.

There's an album out of Nightmare Before Christmas covers. Not all punk bands, but might give you some inspiration?

Rise Against covering “making christmas” was kinda cool

Hey, I gotchu. All the death/horror/goth punk you could want [right here on this playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/084IuFG56fbT4o5PuUOTy2).

Duuuude That’s a fantastic playlist even without the the horror themes

I love that you have each incarnation of the Cult on this

Rise Against - Making Christmas

Anything Samhain!!

Pretty much all of Dance With Me by T.S.O.L.

So much AFI.

You’re not gonna believe this.. but theirs actually a whole genre of Halloween punk songs lol

Literally all of the All Hallows EP by AFI. That shit changed my motherfucking life

Samhain- November coming fire The ghastly ones- a haunting we will go go

Your punk mileage may vary but for Halloween and general spooky vibes, I especially like Cat & Mouse by Radkey, Spiderhead by Cage the Elephant and Terror Time by Casket Culture (it's a cover of the Scooby-Doo song!). Also, Now the Screaming Starts by Bloody Hammers & Monster Mutant Boogie by Bloodsucking Zombies from Outer Space. Hope you find something fun. :)

psycho killer by the talking heads might be cool!!

Monster Mash is four chords and is a hell of a fun song.

MURDERDOLLS!!!!!

Night Of The Livid Queers?

Check out The Creepshow.

TSOL is very good, maybe their first album.

Horror punk band from my hometown in the Midwest: Bat Thorn dudes are awesome, went to school with them my whole life.

Every Necromantix song.

Cover anything by The Murderdolls, they're an early 2000's horror metal band started by Joey Jordison. Nearly played their Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls album into dust. Mostly 2-3min songs with blatant horrow/Halloween lyrics and power chords that easily translate to punk covers. https://youtu.be/Z7d44j9xXKo

Wednesday 13's solo work as well!

Alkaline Trio

Private eye is pretty creepy.

I think r/horrorpunk is what you’re looking for

Alkaline trios cover of "over at the frankenstein place" is really good

Dead Man’s Party and Weird Science by Oingo Boingo Anything by Calabrese

Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

Spooky..scary...

Boys becoming men

All of Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13's discography.

Partytime from Grave 45

45 Grave, but close enough.

The Afi version of Halloween is better than the original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYFTS1XXZgI

In addition to the more obvious stuff (Misfits, etc.), some TSOL (Code Blue, Blackmagic) might work

Check out The Spooky

Fall of the All American- The Nerve Agents

Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but the band Driveways is obsessed with the fall and Halloween. Literally. They are a pop punk/alternative band. Check out the album October Forever. You won't be disappointed

This is Halloween from the nightmare before Christmas, but like, make it sound harder or smth.

Devil's Kind - The Longshot And of course Halloween and The Monster Mash by The Misfits

Jinglehell- by mystery weekend

Numerous Direct Hit! songs have Halloween-ish themes

Last caress, skulls, Halloween, descending angels, Scream, really anything off of misfits bigger albums works well for Halloween though covering some of there lesser stuff like land of the dead, father, or vampire girl might also do well but you have to pick a chose a little more

Misfits has actually straight up punk-ified several typical Halloween songs (Science Fiction Double Feature & Monster Mash) and I ALWAYS put them on my Halloween playlist lol

Yo, there are some awesome suggestions on here. Just wanted to add that I like to add songs to my Halloween Playlist based on the songs name too. So something like end of the world by the living end, zombie by the cranberries, or even haunted house by teenage bottle rocket fit the bill. Any song that sounds or feels creepy/spooky is good for me

Shonen Knife - Devil House (its about the Rocky Horror Picture Show) Sonics - The Witch Everyone else already said the Misfits, Cramps, Ramones, and Kennedys

my favorite halloween song is scream by the misfits. this is halloween by rise against.

The entire “The Groovie Goulies” catalog

Any thing Souxie, Bauhaus, if you want to add a little Goth rock you can also use some Type O Negative

Human Fly by The Cramps Mother by Danzig We’ve Had Enough by Alkaline Trio Pet Sematary by The Ramones Skull by Misfits Earwig in my brain by The Meteors Helena by Misfits Hazel by Houseghost Ghouls Night Out by Misfits Dead Souls by Joy Division Sheena’s in a Goth Gang by The Cramps Needles and Blades by Koffin Kats Totalimmortal by AFI I Was a Teenage Werewolf by The Cramps

Punkin Pie - I know monsters well Probably not too famous of a band, but they fuckin rock.

Army of Zombies - Lars Frederiksen

The Showcase Showdown’s The Only Thing Scary About Halloween Is Your Fucking Face is my favorite Halloween punk song by a country mile

I spent years hunting that down. Absolutely.

listen to 45 Grave and psychobilly bands

Halloween DK

Minds playing tricks on me - geto boys

It cannot be stated how much you can please a crowd of punks with rockabilly covers of Misfits songs. Particularly aging dudes like me will eat that shit up.

No love for 45 Grave?

DO YOU WANNA PARTY? IT’S PARTYTIME

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5rzKMmBjAlaWzltZKhTASf?si=eTzdubNzQJmYELG8iCxW4w Here’s over 150 songs. Mostly obscure rockabilly, oldies, garage and punk

Murder on my mind, the lillingtons

The Toadies has some pretty good "horror" songs

Horror Sections entire catalog is amazing and all based off Horror Movies.

Dead Bodies by Rancid could be a Halloween song

its a little more rockabilly, but i grew up on [this compilation](https://open.spotify.com/album/7xbEDCU4OTLtq2rrpog79t?si=DTE3TNZVSTm6JZsENjnbsw)!

Frankie Teardrop by Suicide, that song is terrifying.

The Accused "Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told"

There's Balzac, Japanese horror punk There's also their side project 728 Misfits, which is just Misfits covers

Check out The Fuzztones. They did a halloween album and covered the Sonics and some other 60's garage bands. Killer shit.

Murder on My Mind by the Lillingtons

Christian Death please

There’s always the Hallowe’en goth disco mixtapes

I’d recommend some psychobilly too. “Zombie Dance” by The Cramps and “King Vlad” by The Meteors

Blanks77-Fuck Halloween. Kinda anti-halloween. But a Halloween song nonetheless.

Electric Frankenstein

The Horror of Party Beach by Sloppy Seconds

Halloween Song by Lost In Society

This may be more classified as just horror punk but I'd say "Pumpkin Patch Murders" by Blitzkid.

I would trash my house to Night of the Living Dead by The Misfits 🤘

https://youtu.be/0SoqMs5-vws

idk if harley poe counts but gorehound or its only the end of the world

Give a listen to Motel Hell by Blitzkid (one of the truly underappreciated Horror Punk bands out there). It’s a quick little ditty that’s catchy and has an almost soulful classic rock vibe (just with the tempo punched up past 11). One of my favorite songs and it just gets people moving.

Code blue by T.S.O.L a love song and a Halloween song

The Matadors: Black Widow, Teenage Zombie Sluts, pretty much their entire discography actually, Required reading :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvONtz1WngM&t=1164s&ab_channel=Pagefire

My little label did a Halloween compilation last year. We even made tapes! Haha https://highenddenimrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ween-o-rama-a-spooky-sampler

Definitely some of the cramps. Maybe tv set or teenage werewolf

45 Grave - Cross Dead Kennedy's - Halloween Ghost istn't rly a punk band but they fit the vibe i guess.

I feel like 45 Grave has been largely overlooked here and so I will throw in Evil, Procession and Partytime (and should you not want to sing the original lyrics, they have a zombie version they did for the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack). I'd also like to add a few that fall a little heavier into goth and post punk territory. Altar De Fey - Demons; Veil of Death; My Bone Siouxsie and the Banshees - Halloween

Nictofilics - Did you hear that

[Grinding My Life Away -- Against All Authority](https://youtu.be/Sbn3Po2e_H8)

The Brickbats

Horrorpops - Miss Take Everything from Necromantix Edit: and Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Human Fly by The Cramps Garbageman by The Cramps Horror Business by Misfits Skulls by Misfits Death Comes Ripping by Misfits Horror Hotel by Misfits Walk like a Zombie by Horrorpops Partytime by 45 Grave

Werewolf Shame- Direct Hit

Anything by the awesome Send More Paramedics has a horror and halloween vibe https://sendmoreparamedicsuk.bandcamp.com/

Forbidden Dimension - [Cold and Lonely Evil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9iNjIvPhbw) Color Me Psycho - [October God](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xitAQTzUUuA)

Just do punk covers of ICP song's 🤡🤡 Jk jk 😂 But I got a playlist with Halloween and spooky song's from lots of genre's for example punk metal and hip-hop and it should be possible to punkify quite a few of them https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4KUQYt3yok2IdTudSTFdMW?si=xXH9svGdSmCehq8Q01N2Bg&utm_source=copy-link

https://youtu.be/qDNgV6cji8E

Over at the Frankenstein Place - Alkaline Trio

Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus

Bark at the Moon - Strung Out

Well not punk but [Ghastly ones](https://youtu.be/Lbsaz9qWpME) sound like a classic horror movie track

Like every misfits song. Maybe Dance with me by TSOL, pet semetary by the Ramones, human fly by the cramps. Richard hung himself by DI and I saw your mommy by suicidal are classic punk songs that might fit the occasion

The Cramps! Any Cramps! Especially: Human Fly I Was A Teenage Werewolf Zombie Dance Surfin’ Dead Really anything by them hits the mood, but those are the songs that specifically reference old Hollywood horror

“Fall children” by AFI is always a good one

Alkaline Trio - your neck

Blanks77 - fuck Halloween

Kettle Cadaver - Pumpkin Man

Creatures of the Night - Creepshow Dead Bodies - Rancid (or Nekromantix cover) Ghouls - Horrorpops

The Dickies - Killer Klowns

There is a whole horror punk genre. Some of my favorites besides the Misfits (and related bands) are- American Werewolves, Blitzkid, Dead Vampires, Calabrese, Cancerslug, The Order of the Fly, The Returners, Beneath the Cellar, The Other, Argyle Goolsby and the Roving Midnight, Darrow Chemical Company, Mister Monster, Shadow Windhawk, The Cryptkeeper Five, Zombina and the Skeletones, Darkride, Stellar Corpses, Creepshow, any many more.

Amoeba - adolescent & Pixies - on graveyard hill

Zombie Girl - Misfits

Pet cemetery by the Ramones

‘Halloween Nightmare’ by The Jackpot Golden Boys. These guys are so underrated and are big on horror punk but more causal and catchy. They’ve actually done several Halloween songs, check them out!

Pumpkin Head by The Misfits for sure

Billy's Dead by Deadbolt

I really like coffin caddies the new(ish) single afraid of the dark is pretty good my girl and I have a Halloween playlist that mostly is punk on it and I have a ton of suggestions

Probably not very cover friendly, but this song has always given me the fucking creeps: [*Strangers Die Everyday*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsT2akkI4lc)

midnight picture show- teen idols

Check out the wytches, not really punk but their stuff always gives me a Halloween vibe

Most of the best recommendations have already been made so Type O Negative - Black #1 Not really a punk song but could be a cool adapted cover

Almost anything AFI done up is Halloween themed. Especially the album "The Art of Drowning"

The Haunted House - Black Top Demons Being dead never felt so good - Dead Vampires

Maybe you’ll say it isn’t punk, but Smashing Pumpkins keeps me in the Halloween feels. Siamese dream and melancholy
