10 Best Halloween Songs From The Last 10 Years

10. Lady Gaga - Dance In The Dark

Spookiest Line: Run, run her kiss is a vampire grin

Lady Gaga has always had dark themes throughout her career and while her closest association with Halloween to date is her stunning turn as The Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel, her music has always had a spooky sparkle. What would you expect when her fans are the Little Monsters, after all?

Quite a lot of songs from her EP The Fame Monster could have made the cut, and there's a good reason for that. Gaga has spoken about her lyrical inspiration for the album being different types of fear. While not immediately clear on tracks like Telephone, it definitely comes through on the likes of Speechless, Monster and Dance In The Dark.

Dark In The Dark, according to Gaga, is specifically about fear of judgement and fear of self. The majority of the song is a fairly standard empowerment song, with the Halloween theme only fitting if considering 'dark' generously counts as spooky. The bridge is where this one goes above and beyond though. In true twisted Gaga style, she compares the dancer in the song to Jesus, Stanley Kubrick, Princess Diana and murdered child JonBenet Ramsey.
