A New Halloween Classic: ‘Ghoulish Gitdown’ Reanimates the Spirit of Fun
Every generation gets its defining Halloween anthem, from “Monster Mash” in the ’60s to “Thriller” in the ’80s. In 2025, Juice Tha Black Beethoven throws his hat into the ring with “Ghoulish Gitdown,” a song that channels those classics while carving out a lane all its own.
With its funky rhythm, playful call-and-response hooks, and sing-along chants of “Ah-woooo!,” “Ghoulish Gitdown” feels both nostalgic and fresh. It’s the kind of song that could just as easily soundtrack a kid’s Halloween parade as it could fill a dance floor at an adults-only costume bash.
Juice’s journey gives the track an extra layer of authenticity. Born in New Orleans, raised in Cleveland, and classically trained from childhood, he’s carried music in his veins since day one. After his first national success writing “Strive” for disco icon Gloria Gaynor, Juice evolved into a multi-genre artist, blending pop, R&B, gospel, and hip-hop into a style that’s uniquely his.
On “Ghoulish Gitdown,” that versatility shines. The production pops with color, the groove locks in tight, and Juice’s smooth baritone narrates the party like a seasoned bandleader inviting everyone onto the floor. It’s catchy, clever, and timeless, a Halloween track destined to return every October, right alongside your favorite spooky playlists. Find it on Spotify now!
