It’s not really Halloween until you’ve ended up at an apartment party with at least one nurse and/or Heath Ledger’s Joker, and someone drunkenly yelling at the DJ to play Ghostbusters. Unfortunately, this year none of that is happening. (Another opportunity to give the finger to Covid)
But still. You can put together a bash with a killer playlist for your close bubble and roommates. There are so many options for the scariest night of the year. Eerie options. More horrifying tunes.
With that in mind, we canvassed some of Barrie’s local musicians and the gang here at Barrie Uncovered to compile the Ultimate Halloween Jam List.
It’s an eclectic list of traditional and unexpected Halloween fare. Creepy, eerie and mysterious tracks to liven up the night. Check out everyone’s Top picks and then scroll down to access the playlist!
