It starts by the fire on a spooky Halloween night — a terrifying scream, a witch on her broomstick, Jack-o'-lanterns glowing in the windows while the trick-or-treaters creep up the steps, unaware that Frankenstein is standing right beside them.
A Very Scary Halloween is a full-throttle Halloween party track: goblins having fun, beady eyes that glow, the Monster Mash on the radio, and Freddy Krueger on the hunt. A new Monster Mash for a new generation — in the tradition of Bobby "Boris" Pickett's 1962 graveyard smash. One earworm chorus you'll be shouting from door to door:
"Have a very scary Halloween —
loads of candy, loads of screams,
trick or treat if you dare,
the ghouls are out so beware!"
Elektrik Ghosts is an AI-performed project.
Elektrik Ghosts is a fun AI alter-ego band built for holiday detours, spooky-season experiments, and tracks that deserve a band with a little more lightning in it.
A Very Scary Halloween is the project's first Halloween single, and the proof is already in the playlist: stations are spinning it through October 2026.
The ghosts are already on the airwaves. A Very Scary Halloween is being programmed for the 2026 spooky season:
Rosehill, Sydney, Australia
The Halloween Listening Party is programming A Very Scary Halloween straight through October 2026. One of the first genuine spins — from a trick-or-treat playlist to a Halloween Assortments slot on an all-Halloween station.

The track is "brewing in the cauldron" on Halloween Radio's season playlist — 11 plays this season and counting. Fans can vote for it once a day and push it further up the ranks.

The track was picked up in the site's seasonal roundup as "a seasonal pop detour, explicitly presented as an AI alter ego."

[Verse 1]
I was sitting by the fire
One spooky Halloween
When suddenly I heard
This terrifying scream
It sounded like a ghoul
But it may have been a witch
Riding on her broomstick
I felt a sudden twitch
[Chorus]
Have a very scary Halloween
Loads of candy, loads of screams
Trick or treat if you dare
The ghouls are out so beware
On this very scary Halloween
[Verse 2]
Peering through the window
The Jack O' latterns' lit
I hear the trick or treaters
Creeping up the steps
"Trick or treat" they yell
But fully unaware
That Frankenstein's beside them
With glowing eyes he stares
[Chorus]
Have a very scary Halloween
Loads of candy, loads of screams
Trick or treat if you dare
The ghouls are out so beware
On this very scary Halloween
[Verse 3]
It's Halloween
Beady eyes that glow
The monster mash
Plays on the radio
It's Halloween
Goblins having fun
Freddy Krueger
Is on the hunt
It's Halloween
[Chorus]
Have a very scary Halloween
Loads of candy, loads of screams
Trick or treat if you dare
The ghouls are out so beware
On this very scary Halloween
[Spoken word]
Have a Very Scary Halloween
