What is the best Halloween playlist to start with?
It depends on the moment. For a party start with Costume Party, for trick-or-treaters play Candy Bowl, for a haunted house use Haunted Walkthrough, and for a quiet end to the night try Afterglow. Not sure? Press the “right now” button on the home page and it picks the playlist that fits your local time.
Is there a Halloween playlist for trick-or-treaters and kids?
Yes. Candy Bowl (the Trick-or-Treat Playlist) is playful and family-friendly, with skeleton dances, carousel tunes and no jump scares. It loops automatically, so you can leave a speaker on the porch.
How long are the playlists?
The five situation playlists run between 18 min and 28 min. For longer listening there is a 1-hour mix and an all-night mix with every track once (1 h 51 min), and every playlist can loop.
What is party mode?
A big-screen now-playing view for parties: huge cover art and track title, a progress bar, what’s coming up next and a clock. Open it on a TV or laptop, press F for full screen and the screen stays awake while the music plays.
Can I use this music in my Halloween videos and livestreams?
Yes, with credit. Use it on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and all social media, in videos, streams and games. Add the credit “Music by Purrple Cat”.
Which albums are the playlists made from?
Only three Purrple Cat albums: Dino Land, Cypress Manor and Endless Forest, 40 tracks in all (1 h 51 min). With only three albums the playlists are shorter than on a big-library site, and every track is used once.
