The most-searched chilling pop hits include Rihanna’s Disturbia, Lady Gaga’s Monster and Alice Cooper’s Poison, while Spotify also revealed that Brits love to sing along to Disney classic the Nightmare Before Christmas, particularly the incredibly catchy This Is Halloween.

Millions across the UK try (and fail) to re-create Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance, as the 1980s hit enjoys a 2,800% increase in plays over the Halloween period.
