Background Music
-
Perhaps you do not want the music to be a focal point of your kid's Halloween party, but you still want to have something playing in the background. You can pick up a CD of Halloween songs for kids at a party store, with famous songs such as "The Monster Mash." Another option is to purchase a soundtrack from a Halloween movie, such as "Hocus Pocus" or "Sleepy Hollow." These types of musical selections have instrumental as well as vocal songs that can be pleasant background music at your party.
Spooky Noises
-
For kids who really want to get scared at the Halloween party, play spooky noise music. You can find CDs of haunted house soundtracks that have musical options for creaking staircases, slamming doors, shrieks and howling wolves. Play the noise music during the whole party, or only for part of it, such as if the kids are going on a spooky scavenger hunt. Turn up the music really loud for an even eerier effect.
