13 Spooky Albums That’ll Terrify Your Halloween Party

Halloween is the best holiday. The primary objective is to get trashed and also scare the shit out of everyone around you, two activities that are loads of fun on their own but just pure magic when you mix and match. Beats the hell out of Christmas, where you’re expected to, like, subsist on the Gift of Giving while you wait on loved ones to understand you enough to buy you something you don’t throw out in a week, and narrowly edges out Thanksgiving, which is lit for loosing the shackles of diet and decency and allowing you to eat whatever you like but secretly rather sadistic for the caveat of forcing you to do it in the company of extended family and in-laws. You’re gonna party tonight, and you’d better do it in style. You take care of the costumes and decorations. We’ll take care of the music. Below are 13 perfectly discomforting records to play at your Halloween shindig.

Three 6 Mafia – Mystic Stylez

Throbbing Gristle – 20 Jazz Funk Greats

Confound your friends in pitch perfect style with English industrial progenitors Throbbing Gristle’s 1979 high watermark 20 Jazz Funk Greats, which, when it can be bothered to pull up out of downright creepy tone poems like “Beachy Head” and “Tanith,” is oddly very danceable.
