Hallowe'en playlist for student bar - suggestions needed by tonight 30th!


Recommended Posts

My son is doing the music for a Hallowe'en night at their student bar and would like suggestions of loosely related Hallowe'en themed music to add to the more obvious ones. Preferably more upbeat that mournful unless they are really good! If you have a Spotify link you could share either here or via PM that would be ideal, or just post the name of the song if not- thanks. He needs to have sorted it by tonight (sunday 30th )

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

Sunglasses After Dark - The Cramps (and lots of other stuff by them)

Thriller - M Jackson

Planet Claire - The B-52's (not particularly ghost/monster related, but taps into that early '60s "Twilight Zone" sound and mood)

Yep, Ghostbusters and Thriller are surely essential.


Boris the Spider, Bad Moon Rising, Highway To Hell..


Would also suggest Pet Cemetery (Ramones), Night of the Living Dead (Misfits), and I was a Teenage Werewolf (The Cramps) although doubt many teenagers are familiar with these bands other than logos on T-shirts.


Would be reluctant to put "monster mash" on any playlist, but maybe later in the night when everyone is hammered...

    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
