Disney has a bigger Halloween songbook than most people realise. Beyond the obvious (This Is Halloween, Cruella De Vil), the vault is full of villain anthems, Day of the Dead ballads, dark family secrets from Encanto, and enough Descendants energy to power a costume party. This is our curated list of the 25 best Disney Halloween songs for 2026. Everything you'd actually want to sing at a Disney-themed Halloween party, family movie night, or costumed karaoke evening, with direct links to every track on Singa.

We've grouped them into six sections so you can jump straight to the vibe you want: the Halloween classics, the Coco Day of the Dead ballads, Encanto's magical-and-slightly-dark family songs, the villains' anthems, Frozen 2's enchanted forest, and a handful of Halloween-adjacent picks that work brilliantly at a costume party with kids in the room.

Jump to a section:

The Halloween Classics

The starting lineup. If someone at the party asks "what should I sing?", the answer is one of these four.

1. This Is Halloween — The Nightmare Before Christmas
The definitive Disney Halloween song. Everyone knows the chorus, everyone can join in on "Halloween, Halloween, Halloween". If you sing one Disney Halloween song this year, sing this one. Sing This Is Halloween on Singa.

2. I Put a Spell on You — Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Not technically a Disney song, but Bette Midler's Hocus Pocus performance made it a Disney Halloween staple for a generation. The Screamin' Jay Hawkins original is the version on Singa, and it's a karaoke moment. Sing I Put a Spell on You on Singa.

3. Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) — Harry Belafonte
The Beetlejuice dinner-scene song. A Halloween karaoke party classic — the call-and-response chorus is a group singalong every time. Sing Day-O on Singa.

4. Ghost Riders in the Sky — Johnny Cash
The Toy Story of Terror needle-drop and one of the best spooky-cowboy karaoke picks in the Disney orbit. Cash's baritone is easier to sing than you think. Sing Ghost Riders in the Sky on Singa.

Day of the Dead: Songs from Coco

Coco isn't Halloween. It's Día de los Muertos, but the two holidays sit shoulder-to-shoulder on the calendar and Coco's songbook fits any late-October party.

5. Remember Me — Coco
The song that makes everyone cry. Slow, tender, and one of the best emotional-moment karaoke picks in the entire Disney catalogue. Sing Remember Me on Singa.

6. La Llorona — Coco
Literally a song about a wailing ghost woman. The full-throated, mariachi-styled Coco arrangement is drama on tap. Sing La Llorona on Singa.

7. Un Poco Loco — Coco
The upbeat one. If the Coco songs are getting heavy, this snaps the party back into life. Sing Un Poco Loco on Singa.

Encanto's Magical (and Dark) Family

Encanto looks bright and cheerful on the surface, but four of its biggest songs are about family secrets, hidden pressure, and a maligned uncle who "sees the future". It's the most Halloween-adjacent Disney album of the last five years.

8. We Don't Talk About Bruno — Encanto
The biggest Disney song of the 2020s and a perfect Halloween karaoke pick. Six vocal parts, so the whole room gets a piece. Sing We Don't Talk About Bruno on Singa.

9. Surface Pressure — Encanto
Luisa's anthem. Heavy shoulders, hidden weight, and one of the punchiest vocal deliveries in the film. Sing Surface Pressure on Singa.

10. What Else Can I Do? — Encanto
Isabela's dark-glow-up moment. Cacti and carnivorous plants. Halloween-coded, and it swings. Sing What Else Can I Do? on Singa.

11. Waiting on a Miracle — Encanto
Mirabel's ballad. Beautiful, and easier to sing than Bruno's big group number. Sing Waiting on a Miracle on Singa.

The Disney Villain Anthems

Nothing says Halloween karaoke like a Disney villain in full costume, chewing the mic. Five picks, from the classic vault to the Descendants era.

12. Cruella De Vil — 101 Dalmatians
Two minutes of pure villain jazz. Impossible to mess up, and the perfect karaoke moment for anyone in a black-and-white wig. Sing Cruella De Vil on Singa.

13. Be Prepared — The Lion King
Scar's coup speech, hyenas and all. If you can commit to Jeremy Irons–level menace, it's a room-owner. Sing Be Prepared on Singa.

14. Gaston — Beauty and the Beast
Halloween-perfect for a costumed pair — one Gaston, one LeFou, a room full of tavern mugs. Easily one of the most fun Disney karaoke songs of all time. Sing Gaston on Singa.

15. Rotten to the Core — Descendants
The villain-kids anthem. Pure pop, chorus everyone learns in one listen. Sing Rotten to the Core on Singa.

16. Ways to Be Wicked — Descendants 2
The sequel outdid the original. If you have anyone under 15 at the party, this is the one they'll want. Sing Ways to Be Wicked on Singa.

Frozen 2's Enchanted Forest

Frozen 2 is Disney's most Halloween-coded princess movie — dark forest, mysterious voices, ghost horses, ancestral spirits. Its two showstoppers both work as October karaoke picks.

17. Into the Unknown — Frozen 2
The siren-call song. Idina Menzel at full belt, chasing a voice from the dark forest: pure October energy. Sing Into the Unknown on Singa.

18. Show Yourself — Frozen 2
The mother-daughter reunion at the source. Emotional, cinematic, and the "show yourself, step into your power" line lands perfectly on Halloween night. Sing Show Yourself on Singa.

Halloween-Adjacent Disney Anthems

Not strictly spooky, but the seven Disney songs guests will actually sing at a mixed-age Halloween party: pop princesses, Underworld-adjacent showtunes, and the movie moments that reliably fill the queue.

19. Zero to Hero — Hercules
Hades runs the Underworld.Tthat's the Halloween connection, and we're taking it. Peak gospel-pop swagger, and every kid at the party knows the "Herc-a-Herc" refrain. Sing Zero to Hero on Singa.

20. Almost There — The Princess and the Frog
Anika Noni Rose's showstopper. The Princess and the Frog is the Disney movie with actual voodoo in it, Halloween eligibility confirmed. Sing Almost There on Singa.

21. Something There — Beauty and the Beast
Enchanted castle. Cursed prince. Talking teapot. It's Halloween-adjacent, and the harmonies make it a great small-group duet. Sing Something There on Singa.

22. Colors of the Wind — Pocahontas
Spirits of the wind, ancestors in the water, a talking Grandmother Willow — the vibes are more spiritual than spooky, but this is one of the most beautiful Disney vocals in the catalogue. Sing Colors of the Wind on Singa.

23. Circle of Life — The Lion King
The opening blast. Life, death, and the intro that anyone at the party will drop everything to belt. Sing Circle of Life on Singa.

24. When Will My Life Begin — Tangled
Rapunzel locked in a tower by a witch-mother, that's a gothic fairytale, and the karaoke is a joy. Sing When Will My Life Begin on Singa.

25. I See the Light — Tangled
The lantern scene duet. Not Halloween in theme, but if you want to close a Disney karaoke night on something warm, this is the song. Sing I See the Light on Singa.
