10. Flatlinerz- Horror core rap group that wasn’t Gravediggaz

9. Leaders of the New School- This one is kinda convoluted I’ll admit. But one of the members was named Charlie Brown. One of Charlie Brown’s famous cartoon’s was about Halloween and the great pumpkin. Bam!

8. Whodini- The “Freaks Come Out at Night” video was down right scary, and they got on the magic band wagon way pre-Harry Potter.

7. Bone Thugs N Harmony- Sang creepy songs about death and took on skeletal monikers. Plus I’m pretty sure Bizzie Bone belongs in an insane asylum.

6. Will Smith- This might be the only list where Will Smith falls between Bone and Gravediggaz in order of ranking, but this one is legit. Whether it’s “Nightmare on My Street” where Will describes an encounter with Freddy Kruger, or his battling with vampires in “I Am Legend”, the Fresh Prince keeps his zombie knowledge up to date.

5. Gravediggaz-Horror core group composed of Hip Hop all-stars, repped the Halloween vibe hard. The reason they are not higher on the list though, is due mainly to the fact that the softest man in Hip Hop history was also a member, the only and only Prince Paul.

4. Geto Boys- Named an album 6 Ft. Deep and gave the world their vision of Bushwick Bill trick-or-treating as a life-size Chucky Doll in numerous videos. They also gave us the classic “My Mind Is Playin Tricks on Me”, that dealt with the issue of Beggar’s Night in cinematic detail.

3. Dready Kruger- Cleaver name, this guy also gets bonus points for creeping people out on the subway the other 364 days a year.

2. Mykill Miers-Almost number one, he’s named after the lead villain from the Halloween movies, plus he’s respelled the name in a oh-so Hip Hop way to imply more gorrification. Amazing.

1. Pumpkinhead- Come on, this is pure dedication to the cause. Not only is he named after a horror movie, but one that contains the mythical king squash of the all hollow’s eve.
