LP-13 · The dark side

  • After dark
  • Costumes encouraged
  • Hidden jackpot

Sing along to the whole dark side.

Halloween has the best setlist of the year, and most of it never got a karaoke version: monster-movie pop, goth classics, the emo shelf and the metal that scared your parents.

Play any of it on any speaker and lyricspin scrolls the words in sync. Costumes encouraged. Black eyeliner basically required.

Side A · 01 — Run the night

How to run it.

  1. Start silly, end spooky

    Open with Ghostbusters and Thriller while the little monsters are still up. The goth and metal hour starts after bedtime.

  2. Spin a dark record

    Drop the needle on a Cure or Type O Negative side and let lyricspin follow along, track to track, hands-free.

  3. Listen for the easter eggs

    lyricspin has a hidden jackpot, and it loves the dark stuff. We won't say which songs set it off.

The night

Side A · 04 — Questions

Before you pass the mic.

What are good Halloween karaoke songs?
Start with the classics: Thriller, Ghostbusters, Monster Mash, Somebody's Watching Me, Werewolves of London. Newer crowd-pleasers: Disturbia, Heads Will Roll, bury a friend. Then the goth and emo side: The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, My Chemical Romance. For a heavier crowd, Metallica, Ozzy, Rob Zombie and Type O Negative.
What are good Halloween songs for kids?
Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, This Is Halloween, Spooky Scary Skeletons and Thriller. Every kid knows at least one chorus, and none of them are actually scary.
Do any of these have karaoke versions?
Some do, many don't, which is the point. lyricspin works with the original recording, so the whole list is fair game.
