Top 10 Spooky Guitar Riffs
With Halloween now just two weeks away, it’s time to swap those summer strumming patterns for something a little more sinister. To help you trade the sunshine for the scary, Guitar Bomb has compiled the Top 10 Halloween Guitar Riffs guaranteed to get you in the spooky spirit. Prepare for some serious, spine-chilling riffs that are sure to give you goosebumps.
1 – Bela Lugosi’s Dead
Bauhaus dropped a stone-cold Halloween classic with their atonal and dark ambient masterpiece Bela Lugosi’s Dead. Indeed, this is the quintessential spooky guitar track at Halloween.
2 – Tear You Apart
A modern classic, She Wants Revenge, dropped Tear You Apart, and the Goth kids went wild! This proves that the goth movement isn’t dead and that the Dark Wave rules the modern world.
A rumbling bassline and a hollow-bodied guitar’ 50s-style riff underpins this epic, moody modern classic.
3 – Fade To Black
Metallica’s Fade To Black is a song about loss, despair, and emptiness. Its moody, atmospheric intro sets the stage for a romping, riff-filled ride to oblivion. Nice.
4 – Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
A dark, lonely hole, perfect for staring into the abyss.
5 – Freezing Moon
6 – Black Sabbath
Yes, we had to include Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath as the intro is spooky with Church bells, rain, and an impending storm of impending doom.
The riff is heavy, and it started a whole movement of down-tuned Doom and Stoner glory!
7 – Floods
