Top 10 Halloween Guitar Riffs
We chose our favorite Top 10 Halloween Guitar Riffs for you to enjoy; let us know what you think of our choices and what you would add to the list.
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
