Better Homes and Gardens asked my husband and I to come up with a playlist for the party featured in the October issue. It was a fun collaboration for us and this is what we came up with. It's by no means a comprehensive list, but a sampling of songs to include. If you have any other suggestions to add, we'd love your input!

I think the most Halloween song is 'Halloween' by Hysterica. You can't get better than that!
