Every Song In Netflix’s Hubie Halloween

The Hubie Halloween soundtrack stays true to the film’s thematic premise, but also includes a variety of music from rock ‘n’ roll sub-genres. There are references to classic creature films, along with call-backs to popular Halloween songs from the past. Despite a strong collection of music, the Hubie Halloween soundtrack takes a backseat to the comedy provided by Happy Madison regulars.

Hubie Halloween stars Adam Sandler as the socially-awkward Hubie Dubois. Each Halloween, the Salem native monitors the community’s “candy etiquette,” and thus becomes the target of mean-spirited pranks. Sandler’s character keeps his composure while developing a friendship with his long-time crush, Violet Valentine (Julie Bowen), but struggles to gain the goodwill of his Salem peers, many of whom take advantage of the fact Mr. Dubois is easily-scared.

In Hubie Halloween, the soundtrack is prominent early on. There’s a novelty song from the late Sheb Wooley and the first of multiple tracks from American producer Ruwanga. Director Steven Brill incorporates a Ghostbusters reference, and also cites the 1954 film Creature from the Black Lagoon. Here’s every featured song in Hubie Halloween.

Hubie Halloween begins with “Monster Mash” as Richard Hartman escapes from Westford State Mental Hospital. Meanwhile, Sandler’s character bikes through Salem while listening to DJ Aurora. Shortly after, “Happy Halloween” plays when local kids chase down Hubie, and “Wind Beneath My Wings” is performed at a funeral near the gravestone of Walter Lambert.

“Trick or Treat” can be heard when Hubie begins monitoring Halloween on a full moon evening, and “End Title (from Creature from the Black Lagoon)” kicks in quietly as Danielle (Sadie Sandler) watches a monster movie classic. Moments later, “Dancing with the Devil” is performed live when Tommy (Noah Schnapp) arrives at a Halloween party.

“Werewolves of London” scores the moment when Hubie has an enlightening face-to-face conversation on Halloween with DJ Aurora. “Monster Mash” plays during a credits/outtakes sequence, and Hubie Halloween comes to a close with a studio version of “Get Freaky”.
