ho's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? The Boogie Man? If your response to those questions is "I ain't afraid of no ghost," then you must be running low on your fear factor. Or you're familiar with one of the coolest Halloween party songs ever put on vinyl.

The spell-binding guitar riffs and juke joint blues tempo of “Night Prowler” are quintessential elements of timeless rock n' roll, but Australian band AC/DC tosses a little paranoia into the lyrical mix (“No one's gonna warn you/And no one's gonna yell ‘atack'/And you don't feel the steel/Till it's hanging out your back”) until they pull out the Mork ‘N Mindy salute at the very end. It was the last song heard on the album Highway To Hell and featured the last words of the band's late lead singer Bon Scott, who died from an over-consumption of alcohol months later. Although the album's title track bears its share of scary moments, “Night Prowler” will have you constantly looking over your shoulders in fear. What's scarier than an unidentified night stalker?

Oh, you sensitive conservatives. Before you toss all horror movies and films into a basket full of devil worshippers, you might want to hear the grunge-rock of Christian band Skillet on their 2009 hit “Monster.” Christians are guilty of it too. Whether the song has been taking out of context or if it's supposed to reference the bully from downstairs, Skillet's bad ass rock – detailing the “beast inside me” – has gotten the attention of WWE Smackdown, MTV's Bully Beatdown and rhythm game giant Rock Band. #101 POP; FROM THE ALBUM AWAKE

Bobby “Boris” Pickett didn't need much of a singing voice to turn this spooky Twist-friendly '60's rock n' roll tune into a hit. With a little Motown action, Shirelles harmonies and some Boris Karloff-inspired chatter, the song spun its way to No. 1 in 1962 and jumped back into the Top Ten in 1970 and 1973. The song is often neglected or mocked at for its obvious reoccurrence at Halloween parties, but it's one that seems to never grow old. #1 POP; FROM THE ALBUM THE ORIGINAL MONSTER MASH

No legit Halloween party is near complete without the gang jumping on the Time Warp. It's loaded with funky leather-wearing thrills and gleeful moments of crown participation incorporated with silly dance steps. It's no surprise that the cult film, from which the song gained its popularity, emerges from the vault every year at Halloween, like A Miracle on 34th Street does at Christmas. Not much horror is tucked inside this tune, unless you find the humpback scientist Riff Raff creepy. NEVER CHARTED; FROM THE ALBUM THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW ORGINAL SOUNDTRACK

The second single from their 1978 debut LP is far from being a scary tune, so why mention it? Well, rock stars has always had some wicked fascination with hell (see the Rolling Stones “Sympathy For The Devil”). In this chapter of the hellbent saga, rock band Van Halen takes a footnote from the Ohio Players' “Running From the Devil” and decides to run with ol' Lucifer after realizing how boring the “simple life” really is. More “devilish” tunes surfaced after Van Halen makes some noise with this hard rock anthem, including Iron Maiden's “The Number of the Beast” (1982) and Motley Crue's “Shout At The Devil” (1983). Can't say there's no such thing as “devil” worship. #84 POP; FROM THE ALBUM VAN HALEN

The fuzzy guitar riffs and fuzz box effects spurring from Eddie Hazel's mind-blowing wah-wah solos are the uncanny simulations of a Jimi Hendrix ghost. Originally, the track – recorded in one take – stretched beyond the ten-minute mark, making it virtually impossible to play on radio. But the track, an unforgettable presence in the psychedelic chamber of George Clinton's Mothership, is so marred with cryptic spookiness and puzzling acid trips that it makes no sense for the Children of the Dark Side or rock aficionados to not pay it any notice. NEVER CHARTED; FROM THE ALBUM MAGGOT BRAIN

It was intended to be a gorgeous piece of avant-garde classical rock. On top of that, it actually was highly praised at the time of its release for being a masterful work of art. But The Exorcist changed all that. The frightening motion picture – considered by most film critics as being one of the scariest films of all time – boosted this instrumental's popularity (spending ten weeks in the Top 40). Those who experienced the film and the opening theme song had no other choice but to experience flashbacks of those endless screams of terror. Sidebar: This single helped launched the label of Virgin Records. #7 POP; FROM THE ALBUM TUBULAR BELLS

The Nu Wave band did a fairly decent job in making graveyard pop. TV/film composer Danny Elfman produced and co-wrote the track and is best remembered for being featured in the 1986 film Back to School. There's lot of creepy references injected into the lyrical mix (“Waiting for an invitation to arrive/Goin' to a party where no one's still alive”). It was enough bait to scare Clear Channel radio programmers from playing the track around 9/11, making death no laughing matter for the ultra sensitive. NEVER CHARTED; FROM THE ALBUM DEAD MAN'S PARTY

The Moog synths and clavinet riffs unearth a gritty funk rock that had not been heard in Stevie Wonder's early work. Regardless of its unfamiliarity to Motown and Wonder's followers, the song soared straight to No. 1 pop. Inside the package, the song gabbles about familiar superstitious fables and urban legends concerning bad luck (“Thirteen month old baby broke the looking glass/Seven years of bad luck/The good things in your past”). As if Wonder went to school to study witchcraft, he belts out a chorus that's just as effective as Michael Jackson's “Thriller” (“When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer/Superstition ain't the way”). In other words, leave the black magic alone. #1 POP; FROM THE ALBUM TALKING BOOK
