As Halloween approaches, Tejano Nation features artists that are showing their creative side with spooky, imaginative music videos that blend traditional folklore, haunting visuals, and irresistible rhythms. Whether you’re planning a Halloween party or just getting into the spooky spirit, these Tejano videos will set the perfect mood for your playlist.

Lucky Joe – “Zombie”

Lucky Joe premiered the much-anticipated official music video last month for his latest single, “Zombie,” just in time for spooky season. The norteño cumbia blends infectious rhythms with heartfelt lyrics about lost love, emotional turmoil, and the emptiness that lingers after heartbreak. The video brings Lucky Joe back from the dead — literally — as he takes on the role of an undead character wandering through haunting visuals and chilling scenery. With its creative concept and bold storytelling, “Zombie” proves Lucky Joe isn’t afraid to take risks and deliver something unforgettable for fans this Halloween.

Jess Lopez – “La Llorona Empieza Aullar”

Multi–Grammy Award winner Jess Lopez put a Tejano twist on a classic horror theme with “La Llorona Empieza Aullar.” Inspired by the legendary “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and The Crypt Kickers, Lopez envisioned a version with a Mexican twist — and the result is hauntingly good. Produced and directed by Lopez alongside talented videographer Lupe Moya, the video delivers a spooky yet playful tribute to one of Mexico’s most chilling folktales.

Nikki Lopez – “Voy Por Tu Corazón”

Tejano pop artist Nikki Lopez brings a modern edge to Halloween with “Voy Por Tu Corazón,” a vibrant cumbia produced by Grammy Award winners Wild Bill Perkins and Hugo Guerrero. The song, inspired by Katy Perry’s hit “Dark Horse,” came to life at Nightmare Audio Studios, owned by Guerrero — the “Charanga King” himself. The music video, directed by Lupe Moya of LM Media Solutions, features dazzling visuals and an enchanting, witchy aesthetic that captures the allure of Halloween with Tejano flair.

Miguel St. Michael – “Halloween y La Cumbia”

Austin-based Tejano/Latin artist Miguel St. Michael embraces the eerie side of Tejano with “Halloween y La Cumbia,”a song inspired by Tex-Mex folktales he grew up with in the Rio Grande Valley. The track and video bring mythical figures like La Llorona, La Bruja, and El Cucuy straight to the dance floor, fusing the spooky and the festive in true Tejano fashion. Miguel describes the track as “a fusion of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller,’ with a touch of Tim Burton’s whimsical eeriness, and a splash of Fito Olivares’ ‘La Cobra.’” It’s both haunting and irresistible — perfect for any Halloween cumbia playlist.
