What is the Halloween Song of the Year?
The yearly celebration of the haunting party music that makes us all feel a little more dead inside. It's that tape your parents played that sent shivers down your spine. It's Michael Jackson. It's Ghost Busters. Or, perhaps, the greatest Halloween song of all time, the Monster Mash!
Each October, nominations are submitted by MILLIONS of participants (not really, but several) and voted on to crown THE SONG OF THE YEAR. The winning song is added to the annals of Halloween history while all qualifying nominees are added to Mitch's Infamous Halloween Party Playlist; the secret sauce to any great Samhain celebration.
Use the form above to nominate YOUR pick for Song of the Year. Nominations are accepted through October 10th.
What Makes A Great Halloween Song?
Sometimes it is just as much the way a song makes you FEEL that it is what the song is about. A great Halloween song exhibits any of the elements that make Halloween a special time of year. It enlivens you while harkening the dead. It's fun! It makes you glance behind your shoulder. It is unmistakably crispy and fall. You often know a song is a Halloween song when you hear it.
