Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to hear something strange?

Another year, another batch of Halloween parties to attend/accidentally miss. Perhaps you’re hosting one this year? Or just fancy getting spooked? Look no further as we have the Halloween playlist you need for 2016.

To kick things off, we’ve included the classics, such as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Ray Parker’s “Ghostbusters”, and Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”.

Then, to get everyone a little on edge, there are the themes from numerous horror films, including “Halloween”, “The Twilight Zone”, and “The Exorcist”.

Of course, you need to get the party going. The Killers, Kanye West, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga should do the job. Plus Will Smith, of course.

Not into Pop? Worry not, as things settle down into some rock’n’roll, thanks to The Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Electric Light Orchestra, all topped off by Dusty Springfield’s “Spooky”. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify below.

Perhaps you’d rather go back and relive Halloween 2014? Well then, check out our 2014 playlist here.
