If a shiver runs down your spine, it’s not just because temperatures are dropping. It’s because it’s spooky season! Halloween and Día de los Muertos are just around the corner.

What better way to celebrate spooky season than with a spooky playlist?

This writing challenge comes from Charlie Cole and Pierce McIntyre down at Plethora of Pop: Pick a favorite Halloween or horror character from film and create a personalized playlist for them.

Beetlejuice is a quirky guy and I’m a quirky gal, so I figure he’d dig my playlist.

This eery writing challenge also comes from Paul Combs. And it comes from Steve Goldberg. Paul said there was “no pressure” to come up with a spooky playlist. No pressure, but a whole lot of temptation. Simply too ghoulish for me to resist.

So I’ve combined all the writing challenges into one uncanny uber response.

Here goes!
