1. |
'Bad Romance' - Lady Gaga
|
|
Everything about this video, from the haunting animal masks to that terrifying polar bear rug SCREAMS horror movie. Gaga, we salute you!
|
||
2. |
'Disturbia' - Rihanna
|
|
Between the torture chambers and RiRi being tied to a bed, you could easily be forgiven for thinking you had actually turned on an Eli Roth movie in this video! |
||
3. |
'Everybody (Backstreet's Back)' - Backstreet Boys
|
|
The US boy band truly brought some horror favourites into the pop world with this video, with each member taking on a different iconic character, from Nick as a mummy, Howie as a vampire and Brian as a (weirdly attractive) werewolf. Backstreets back, alright? |
||
4. |
'The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)' - Ylvis
|
|
One of the newest songs on this playlist, apart from the (truly) terrifying lyrical content of this viral hit, the video is also creepy as hell! |
||
5. |
'Thriller' - Michael Jackson
|
|
The ORIGINAL horror-themed pop music video.. the King Of Pop took things to a whole new level with his 'Thriller' mini-movie, from a cinematic opening to a group of perfectly timed dancing zombies!
|
||
6. |
'Blow' - Ke$ha
|
|
The unicorn-headed dancers alone would make this Ke$ha video worthy of a place on this playlist, but throw in a guest star turn from Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek and this one becomes a TRUE horror classic!
|
||
7. |
'She Wolf' - Shakira
|
|
Twilight may have given werewolves a bad name in recent years, but David Guetta's 'She-Wolf' video has done at least a bit to repair their reputation!
|
||
8. |
'Wall To Wall' - Chris Brown
|
|
Part 'Thriller' tribute, part Blade homage, Chris' video for 'Wall to Wall sees the R&B star getting up-close and personal with some fanged beauties!
|
||
9. |
'Rock DJ' - Robbie Williams
|
|
'Rock DJ' starts out well enough (a buff Robbie stripping down to his undies) but soon becomes freaky as hell by the video's conclusion.
|
||
10. |
'Get Your Freak On' - Missy Elliot
|
|
From creepy underground zombies to Missy spitting in a dancer's face (!)...this one's a perfect Halloween party jam.
|
||
11. |
'Alejandro' - Lady Gaga
|
|
Gaga cranks the horror factor up to 10 in 'Alejandro' with a gothic funeral, steakpunk style outfits and religious symbology.
|
||
12. |
'3 a.m.' - Eminem
|
|
Eminem gives his own take on the Victorian classic Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde in his 2009 hit single.
|
||
13. |
'Wrecking Ball' - Miley Cyrus
|
|
OK, you caught us. This one isn't really a Halloween themed song, or even a spooky video! But it wouldn't be a party without one of Miley's latest hits. And when you really think about it... a pop star swinging around naked on top of a demolition ball is a little scary!
