Halloween is a source of horror and terror, but it doesn’t have to be just spooky. There’s a lot more to the Holiday than fright. It’s when Autumn turns to fall, giving us a chance to reflect on the past. It’s a time to make adorable snow people and snow angels. It’s a time for endless hot cocoa with sprinkles.

This not-so-spooky music is excellent to add to your Halloween playlist if you need to add more kid-friendly music, non-scary content or simply upbeat horror music.

Below is a list of songs to bring you the Halloween spirit without the Halloween spooks. These covers replace the sense of horror with a sense of whimsy while keeping the Halloween spirit. Instead of horrifying costumes, it’s a Halloween with soft, friendly characters like the minions or nerdy costumes.
