Halloween is the perfect time to bring your violin to life, and maybe even scare a few people in the process! Whether you’re playing at an event, recording a spooky video, or just having fun at home, these three violin scores for Halloween (with free scores included) are a must this season.
1. Zombie – The Cranberries
If you’ve watched Wednesday Season 2, you’ve definitely noticed this song making a haunting comeback. “Zombie” is a dark, emotional rock classic that sounds surprisingly powerful on the violin. The melody’s intensity and raw emotion make it perfect for Halloween — dramatic, a little grungy, and full of character.

💡 Tip: Use a strong vibrato and let the bow dig in slightly on the main theme of the violin Halloween scores; it adds that edgy, expressive sound that fits the song perfectly.

2. Halloween Theme – John Carpenter
The iconic piano theme from the Halloween movies translates beautifully to violin. Its repetitive rhythm and chilling melody instantly create tension — perfect for a dark video backdrop or a short social media post. It’s also a great piece for practicing bow control and dynamics.
