Spooky, Scary Skeletons is a Halloween song by American singer-songwriter Andrew Gold, originally released on his Halloween Howls album in the 1990s. Years later the catchy chorus found a second life online, where creators paired it with dancing skeleton animations, remixes and short Halloween edits that spread across social media and video platforms. Its cheerful take on spooky imagery made it easy to reuse every October, and it remains a seasonal favourite for memes, costume videos and light-hearted horror content.
