Duck Sauce - "Big Bad Wolf" Awhoooo find your inner werewolf and howl at the moon with the 2011 smash by Duck Sauce.

M.I.A. - "Dark Deeds" “Dark Deeds” is minimal and calculated like the cold, stealthy eyes of a serial killer.

Pendulum - "Toxic Shock" You're probably thinking, 'What about "Tarantula" or the more appropriately titled "Witchcraft"?' While they are both viable options, let's be serious, is there anything more terrifying than the end of the world? [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed]

Nina Simone - I Put A Spell On You (Pretty Lights Remix) Pretty Lights tapped into his dark side with this glitch hop mix presented by Verve Records.

Alvin Risk feat. Sirah - "Survival" This tune is downright scary. Metallic pounding, sirens, and Sirah’s pleas for help are broken up with moombah in this electro thriller.

deadmau5 - "Moar Ghosts n Stuff" This list wouldn't be complete without the ghost of all ghosts… he is a dead mouse after all.

Skrillex - “Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites” (Original Mix) You love to hate it, but Skrillex single-handedly put dubstep on the map with this 2010 monster hit. Dust it off the cobwebs and go ahead, indulge your guilty pleasure.

Zeds Dead & Omar LinX - "The Living Dead" Zeds Dead and Omar LinX will keep you on your feet to dance amongst the beasts, ghouls, and demons.

Infected Mushroom - "Dracul" Sink your fangs into “Dracul,” Infected’s psy-trance release from 2000.

Le Castle Vania - "Nobody Gets Out Alive" (Noisia Remix) The Netherlands trio opted for a more electro sound in their apocalyptic “Nobody Gets Out Alive” remix, which came out in 2010 via Always Never.

Armand Van Helden - "Witch Doktor" (Zedd Remix) “Witch Doktor,” the classic Van Helden slab of darkside house music, was reworked by Zedd in a Beatport competition and released in 2010.

The M Machine - "Ghosts In The Machine" (Kill The Noise Remix) Ghostly vocals dance about as KTN unleashes his carnivorous ghoul bass.

Hellberg - "The Man Who Laughs" Hellberg’s ‘The Man Who Laughs” was part of Monstercat's 2012 'Trick or Treat' EP. Its creepy organs, progressive melody, and electro drops make this the perfect anthem for your monster ball.

Toxic Therapy (AKA VEGIM) - "Jack The Ripper" (Original Mix) “Jack The Ripper” is a techno terrifier. It’s extended build will give give you goosebumps.

Kill The Noise - "Kill The Noise" (Dillon Francis Remix) Macabre build-ups and nuclear-infused basses make this remix sound as if composed the Phantom of Opera... if he were on Molly.

Steve Angello - "Gypsy" (Afrojack Remix) Taking it back to 2008, Afrojack remixed the mysterious and macabre “Gypsy.”

Kanye West, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj - “Monster” (Cazzette Remix) It's as if someone busted out the synth insane asylum on this track as Cazzette busts out one psychotic remix of "Monster." [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed]

Pleasurekraft feat. Green Velvet - “Skeleton Key” Eerie sounds collide in this bizarre tune by Pleasurekraft and Green Velvet. “Skeleton Key” conjures up anxiety; much like the feelings you get while walking through the mirror maze at a carnival, you never known what’s looming behind door #2.

Dada Life - Happy Violence (Drankenstein Remix) Bird Peterson is the mad scientist behind Drankenstein. In reconfiguring “Happy Violence,” he chops up Dada Life’s electro tune and adds trap-y elements.

Brainbug - Nightmare Brainbug’s “Nightmare” is the tune that lurks in the shadows and haunts your dreams. Released in 1996, the symphonic single features spooky string work and kick drums that will get your heart racing. [videoembed size="full_width" alignment="center"][/videoembed]
