Thankfully, Memphians have been cranking out some amazing spooky tunes for at least 100 years, which means your options are nearly endless. From Memphis Minnie to the Grifters and Three 6 Mafia, here are 20 (!) of our Halloween time favorites&#8230;.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cHaunted Blues\u201d-Memphis Minnie (1936)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Known as \u201cThe Queen of the Country Blues,\u201d Memphis Minnie\u2019s expansive catalogue is saturated with tunes about voodoo, ghosts, murder, and other macabre subjects. Given this wealth of options, it was a bit tough to hone in on just one tune, but her 1936 classic \u201cHaunted Blues\u201d about the struggles of living with the ghost of a departed lover is hard to deny.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MEMPHIS MINNIE   Haunted Blues\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bw_tgrTv9ps?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cI\u2019m Gonna Murder My Baby\u201d-Pat Hare (1954)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not a household name, Pat Hare was one of the meanest and raunchiest guitarists of his generation, laying down absolutely nasty proto-metal riffs on several tracks for Sun Records. Although he largely acted as a sideman, his 1954 solo effort \u201cI\u2019m Gonna Murder My Baby\u201d showcases his power as a singer as well, and is haunting in both its subject matter and delivery. To make things even more unsettling, Hare would go on to be arrested for actually murdering his wife a few decades later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pat Hare I&#039;m Gonna Murder My Baby (1954)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E26dBq-98Po?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Tarantula&#8221; by the Tarantulas (1961)<\/h3>\n<p>Not a ton is known about the band responsible for this creepy little slice of instrumental surf rock other than they were originally called the Spiders, but the band apparently like it enough to name it after themselves! Recorded at Memphis&#8217; Fernwood Records&#8211;a tiny home studio once ran by Ronald &#8220;Slim&#8221; Wallace and Jack Clement. Despite the group&#8217;s anonymity, this is a timeless track that will have party goers asking you &#8220;whose this?!?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Tarantulas - Tarantula\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H2KWSf6jqRU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cLi\u2019l Red Riding Hood\u201d-Sam the Sham &amp; the Pharaohs (1966)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best known for their smash novelty hit \u201cWooly Bully\u201d about a monster with \u201ctwo big horns\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and a wooly jaw,\u201d Sam the Sham &amp; the Pharaohs has several other silly and spooky tunes that fit the season perfectly. Our personal favorite is \u201cLi\u2019l Red Riding Hood,\u201d a retelling of the classic fairy tale told from the perspective of the Big Bad Wolf. In the years since its release, everyone from Bowling for Soup to The Smashing Pumpkins have covered the holiday favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Little Red Riding Hood - Sam The Sham &amp; The Pharaohs\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_FA85RO89HA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Trick or Treat&#8221;-Otis Redding (1966)<\/h3>\n<p>Although it was recorded by the &#8220;King of Soul&#8221; in 1966, Otis Redding&#8217;s Halloween-themed &#8220;Trick or Treat&#8221; wasn&#8217;t released until 1992, a full 25 years after the legendary singer&#8217;s death. The song&#8211;which was written by the powerhouse Stax duo of Isaac Hayes and David Porter&#8211;finds Otis doing what he did best: pleading to his lover to treat him right. &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait &#8217;til Halloween to find out if it&#8217;s trick or treat,&#8221; he sings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trick Or Treat\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v1tFoRD2UB8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cInsane Asylum\u201d- Koko Taylor &amp; Willie Dixon (1968)<\/h3>\n<p>If we wanted to (and believe us, we were tempted), this entire playlist could have been solely dedicated to the women of Memphis blues, who had an uncanny knack for channeling the darker side of life. Memphian Koko Taylor certainly delivers the goods on this track from her solo debut, which features fellow blues great Willie Dixon. The duet speaks about having a loved one institutionalized in an insane asylum, and the pain is visceral.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Willie Dixon &amp; Koko Taylor-Insane Asylum\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OGmBvWobtVw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cFrankenstein\u2019s Walk\u201d-Gene \u201cBowlegs\u201d Miller (1969)<\/h3>\n<p>During his long and illustrious career,Memphis trumpeter Gene \u201cBowlegs\u201d Miller worked alongside some of the greatest talents this city has ever produced, including Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Al Green, and Isaac Hayes. Needless to say, his 1969 novelty track \u201cFrankenstein\u2019s Walk\u201d probably doesn\u2019t rank among his finest musical moments, but sometimes you just have to let loose and have some fun. The song features Miller as Frankenstein\u2019s monster, who understandably isn\u2019t the most skilled dancer. Unsurprisingly, the song comes with its own unique dance moves, making it a necessity for any Halloween dance party.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frankenstien Walk\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NruwknK8uT8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cHaunter of the Darkness\u201d-Zuider Zee (1975)<\/h3>\n<p>If I were to ask you which 1970s Memphis power pop band unfairly floundered in obscurity despite coming out with undeniably excellent music, you\u2019d probably respond with \u201cBig Star,\u201d which is certainly true. But Zuider Zee also fits the bill perfectly, as is evident from their darkly infectious track \u201cHaunter of the Darkness.\u201d If you don\u2019t know now you know.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Zcy4g2e4yc&#038;feature=emb_imp_woyt\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Zcy4g2e4yc&amp;feature=emb_imp_woyt<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Monster&#8221;-The Bar-Kays (1978)<\/h3>\n<p>Driven by tight basslines, sharp horns, and eerie synthesizer flourishes, the track blends the band\u2019s classic Memphis funk sound with a spooky, cinematic edge. Without a single lyric, \u201cMonster\u201d conjures its mood entirely through rhythm and atmosphere, making it a standout Halloween anthem for funk lovers. At nearly 7 minutes long, it&#8217;s guaranteed to get feet moving and the party started.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Monster\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xAwbCZnAzGE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&#8220;I Was a Teenage Werewolf&#8221;-the Cramps (1980)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Although they hailed from California, the seminal psychobilly punks the Cramps recorded their iconic debut album Songs the Lord Taught Us at Memphis&#8217; Phillips Recording with Big Star&#8217;s Alex Chilton serving as producer. While you could easily just push play on the album and let it serve as your Halloween soundtrack, if you could only choose one track, we&#8217;d go with &#8220;I Was a Teenage Werewolf,&#8221; one of the group&#8217;s best-known and most-loved tracks.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Was A Teenage Werewolf (Remastered 1989)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8GLUmIf8STw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cWarlords\u201d-Medieval Steel (1984)<\/h3>\n<p>Memphis metal heroes Medieval Steel unleashed pure epic energy with their 1984 track \u201cWarlords,\u201d one of the many stand-out singles from their cult classic debut. With galloping riffs, soaring vocals, and battle-ready lyrics, the song channels fantasy warfare and dark power\u2014perfectly suited for a Halloween soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Warlords\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g0ndfloB7Hg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cShe\u2019s My Witch\u201d-Tav Falco &amp; Panther Burns (1987)<\/h3>\n<p>Much like their contemporaries The Cramps, Tav Falco &amp; Panther Burns excelled in creating a creepy throwback sound that hearkened back to 1950s rockabilly with a dash or two of punk and goth thrown in for good measure. The group\u2019s 1987 track \u201cShe\u2019s My Witch\u201d is an excellent example of their signature sound and a perfect tune to play for the special witch in your life.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tav Falco - She&#039;s My Witch\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NUW7cgDNE-A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cPotato Heads from Hell\u201d- Wally Ford (1994)<\/h3>\n<p>Like a classic B movie rendered in song form, Wally Ford\u2019s \u201cPotato Heads from Hell\u201d tells the story of an unfortunate man who is attacked by an army of blood-thirsty spuds from the underworld. Believe me, it only gets weirder (and more delightful) from there. I discovered the song several years ago from Mr. Ford himself, who played it to me while we sat next to each other at a bar. Needless to say, I haven\u2019t been able to shake it ever since.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Potato Heads From Hell\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tluZ_E2xrpo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Experiment in Terror\/Stalkin\u2019&#8221;-Impala (1994)<\/h3>\n<p>Yet another instrumental banger? You&#8217;re damn right! Memphis surf-rockers Impala put their own spin on \u201cExperiment in Terror\/Stalkin\u2019,\u201d blending Henry Mancini\u2019s 1962 film theme with Duane Eddy\u2019s 1958 twangy instrumental. The result is a shadowy, reverb-soaked medley that fuses noir suspense with rock \u2019n\u2019 roll swagger.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Experiment in Terror\/Stalkin&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S9U3U390mu8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Graveyard Productions &#8211; &#8220;Horror Stang&#8221; (1995)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Memphis underground outfit Graveyard Productions conjure pure terror with their 1994 track \u201cHorror Stang.\u201d A brief but unforgettable sound collage, it mixes eerie synths, distorted bass, and snippets of horror-movie dialogue into a chilling, lo-fi atmosphere. Emerging from the city\u2019s early horrorcore rap scene, the track feels like a nightmare transmitted straight from a haunted cassette deck.<br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Graveyard Productions - Horror Stang\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uit0NXv6RZg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cCovered with Flies\u201d-The Grifters (1996)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The title of this one alone would probably make it Halloween soundtrack worthy, but its the jagged guitars, chaotic arrangement, and restless mood that really sells it. Throughout the song,\u00a0Memphis indie rockers the Grifters channel unease and exhaustion into something hypnotic and raw. It\u2019s not a horror song in theme, but its atmosphere feels haunted all the same.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Covered With Flies\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kpB65abqKOw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cAnyone Out There?\u201d-Three 6 Mafia (1997)<\/h3>\n<p>No Halloween mixtape is complete without a track or two from the kings of horrorcore and this 1997 track finds the group at their bone-chilling best. Featuring a sample from the horror film \u201cMan\u2019s Best Friend,\u201d the song serves as a solo track for Three 6 member Lord Infamous who weaves a horrifying narrative worthy of Edgar Allan Poe. \u201cA family slaughtered by a loved one, forgive scarecrow\/I turned against God and everything that I cared for most\/Police arrived, candle light, butcher knives, bloody bedposts\u2026\u201d he raps, and that\u2019s just the opening bars.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Anyone Out There\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yJFt1QBPChs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Breathing Machine&#8221;-Lost Sound (2002)<\/h3>\n<p>Lost Sounds&#8211;the influential \u00a0dark wave group featuring Jay Reatard and Alicja Trout&#8211;were experts at fusing punk aggression with eerie electronic textures, which were oftentimes complimented with apocalyptic lyricism. \u201cBreathing Machine,\u201d a menacing yet groovy track about the Book of Revelation, is a fan favorite and a great introduction to those first arriving at the group.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Breathing Machine\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Du_0_9fzLrk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cDisco Werewolf\u201d-Clay Otis &amp; the Dream Sheiks (2013)<\/h3>\n<p>Prior to his untimely passing, Clay Otis (nee Clay Hardee) released some of the most adventurous and captivating music to come out of Memphis in years. Amongst his best tracks is 2013\u2019s \u201cDisco Werewolf,\u201d an absolute banger that sounds like the sequel to \u201cThriller\u201d we never got. The song, released on Halloween night of 2013, features some of Memphis\u2019 finest current musicians and promises to be a local Halloween favorite for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Disco Werewolf\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H71whVVXHOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cMala Luna\u201d-Los Psychosis (2021)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Very much in the tradition of the aforementioned band the Cramps, Los Psychosis is a psychobilly band steeped in primordial rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll. However, the group&#8217;s Latinx heritage gives their sound a unique flavor that sets them apart from the pack. Their excellent debut album <em>Rock and Roll Dreams\u00a0<\/em>is filled with worthy candidates for this list, but we&#8217;re rolling with &#8220;Mama Luna,&#8221; a Spanish-language banger whose menace is easy to pick up on no matter what language you speak.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mala Luna\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8wdIIIBAgAQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be real\u2026While songs like Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller\u201d and Bobby Pickett\u2019s \u201cMonster Mash\u201d are seasonal classics, it\u2019s time to add some new tunes to your dusty Halloween playlist.
