History
Halloween music as a curated genre has roots in the theatrical organ music of silent horror films (1920s) and the Universal monster movies of the 1930s-40s. Bobby Boris Pickett's Monster Mash (1962) became the first novelty Halloween hit, reaching number 1 on Billboard and re-charting every October for decades. John Carpenter's self-composed Halloween theme (1978) became one of the most recognizable horror music compositions.
Michael Jackson's Thriller (1982) with its Vincent Price narration defined Halloween pop music. By the 2000s, streaming platforms had created dedicated Halloween playlist categories, and themed playlists became a major streaming event each October, with Halloween music streams increasing 400-500 percent in the weeks before October 31.
Legacy & Influence
Halloween music created the template for seasonal streaming events that streaming platforms now use for every major holiday. The annual return of Monster Mash and Thriller to charts each October demonstrates the remarkable seasonal durability of holiday music, influencing how platforms plan and promote seasonal content.
