Stop using playlists from bloggers! Get your song inspiration from professional DJs…just sayin’ My professional-grade Halloween playlist is divided into 4 sections: dinner music, theme songs (many have dance remixes available on YouTube), heavy metal covers of pop songs, and finally the Halloween dance music/pop music.
