Boogie-Woogie
Feeling like doing the monster mash? Have some skele-fun with this Spotify playlist featuring hits from the Halloween movies you know and love. 

Or, if you’re heading to a spook-tacular party, throw on the playlist below and get ready to boogie. You'll be sure to put a spell on everyone there — because who can’t resist dancing to Rihanna’s “Disturbia”? No one.
