Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon as Milk & Cookies

The celebrities are gearing up for Halloween, and so are we! Nicole Richie has her kids’ costumes planned, and we’re thinking about our own. Zombie bridesmaid? Madonna? Hmm…

While planning Halloween parties, though, the music is a big deal. MetroLyrics has plenty of halloween songs to choose from, so I started scrolling through them, and I found some gems:

1. This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson

Marilyn Manson PLUS Halloween??? Double scary!

2. The Monster Mash
I don’t know if this version by the “Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band” is the one they’d play at our elementary school Halloween parties, but it’s a classic– and pretty funny!

3. Thriller by Michael Jackson
Maybe the quintessential Halloween song. Since he passed away this year, I’m betting there’ll be tributes and Thriller mobs everywhere this Saturday!

What are your Halloween must-haves? What’s the scariest rap for Halloween or the darkest death metal? Tell us here!
