Happy October friends! As a musical theatre lover, I especially love spooky musicals. But even musicals that aren’t supernatural can still have creepy songs in them. I created a Halloween-themed playlist on Spotify that you can play on repeat for the month of October. This includes music from Broadway musicals, films with famous composers, musical films, and anything theatre-related that gets you excited for Halloween.
