About this playlist

Kids’ Halloween music has two jobs: be fun, and not frighten anybody. The usual answer is novelty songs with lyrics. This playlist takes a different route: instrumental lofi that is playful rather than scary, and checked for sudden loud moments.

We measured how much the loudness of each track jumps around (its largest sudden change) and kept the 12 smoothest tracks from the two friendliest playlists, Candy Bowl and Afterglow. The biggest jump anywhere in this playlist is 10 dB, which is a gentle change. “No jump scares” here is a measurement, not just a hope.
