TikTok Fans Have Been Going Bonkers for This Classic Halloween Song

Music makes it easy to set a Halloween mood. A little too easy. When it comes to Halloween songs, there are plenty of chilling tunes that will scare the heck out of the youngest trick-or-treaters out there. (Heck, I still feel creeped out whenever I hear Vincent Price's voiceover in "Thriller.")

If you're planning a family-friendly affair, though, and you need some music to set the tone, there are still plenty of Halloween songs for kids that won't keep them up at night. Some are made by beloved children's musicians, like Laurie Bernker, Dan Zanes or Lucy Kalantari, who know their audience well and know how to keep things spooky, but not terrifying. Others are really adult songs that aren't too scary for kids (though, as always, your mileage may vary). And still some are from favorite movies and TV shows that will have kids, tweens, teens and adults all up and on the dance floor together. But who will have the best Transylvania Twist?
