Five videos, all Halloween-ready. Zombies crash a late shift, a graveyard turns into a dance floor, creepy dolls watch from every branch, a bedroom monster crawls out, a neon vampire owns the night, and a stage falls apart mid-performance. Short, loud, and rewatchable — perfect for today. Here are 5 music videos to get you fully in a spooky mood!
1. "Maniac" by Conan Gray
Conan Gray and Jessica Barden are working a late-night shift on Halloween Eve when a swarm of “zombie exes” crawls in. The siege spills from the theater to alleys and a neon arcade, mixing jump-scares with winks. It’s scary, catchy, and funny all at once — which is why it’s perfect for the season.
2. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson stars in a short film that turns a sweet date into a monster reveal, then a full graveyard set piece with the most famous zombie dance in pop. It’s spooky, cinematic, and still wildly danceable — basically the blueprint for Halloween music videos.
Lady Gaga performs in stark black-and-white on the Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, surrounded by rows of creepy baby dolls strung from trees and pinned to walls. The choreography stays tight and doll-like — sharp arms, sudden freezes, small tilts — gradually pulling a troupe around her as if the shrine itself has woken up. Close-ups linger on cracked faces and dangling limbs while the beat drives forward. It’s eerie, precise, and built for October.
4. "vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo begins on a dreamy stage that literally collapses under her. Bloodied but still singing, she bolts into the night past flashing lights and cameras. No costume party — just performance turning dangerous. Pure vampire drama, and a clean Halloween fit.
5. "bury a friend" by Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish goes full nightmare mode. She plays the monster under the bed — blackened eyes, sudden grabs, bodies dragging down hallways — turning a minimal set into a claustrophobic scare. It’s all goosebumps and tension, and it sticks with you.
6. "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran spends one wild night as a glam vampire — fangs, hot-pink suit, and a monster crew tearing through a neon city — before sunrise snaps him back to human. Fast, playful, and chaotic, it’s a pop-horror sprint that fits right into a Halloween queue.
Play them back-to-back and you’ve got a tight Halloween set: scares, hooks, and zero filler. Great for getting ready or keeping the party moving. Grab candy, hit repeat, and call it a night.
