Who sang these classic spooky pop songs?

Will you "Monster Mash" — or will this quiz "Put a Spell on You"?

A Halloween party is nothing without some holiday-appropriate tunes. After all, you can't dance to those eerie haunted house sound effects CDs of howls and rattling chains.

Thankfully, pop stars have been recording songs about ghosts, spells, reapers and werewolves for decades. 

The following hits have all become staples of Halloween playlists over the years. Can you remember who sang them all? Ghoul luck!

  1. Which pop star teamed with Vincent Price for "Thriller"?
  2. Which rock band sang "Sympathy for the Devil"?
  3. Who is this with "Season of the Witch" on his Greatest Hits?
  4. Who sang "Werewolves of London"?
  5. Which rock act sang "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"?
  6. Who sang "Bad Moon Rising"?
  7. Who banged their head on "Highway to Hell"?
  8. Which new-wavers sang "Psycho Killer"?
  9. Who recorded the novelty smash "Monster Mash"?
  10. Who scored a big hit in 1970 with "Black Magic Woman"?

Side note: Santana's "Black Magic Woman" was a cover of a song originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac.
