Undeniably one of the most iconic songs to have in your Halloween party playlist is 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson.

'She Wolf' by Shakira - 247.7 million streams

Shakira's distinctive vocals, the upbeat rhythm, and the association with werewolves create a fun yet mysterious atmosphere that'll surely encourage everybody onto the dancefloor.
