Music

Over the years, there have been many songs with a spooky theme suitable for Halloween: Monster Mash, Haunted House, Purple People Eater, The Thing, The Mummy, and many more. Every Halloween, music stores sell compilations of such music. You can also explore compilations such as Ktel's Goofy Greats, Silly Songs, and Wacky Weirdos or Dr. Demento's various collections.

There is also some symphonic music with suitable eerie tones: Ride of the Valkyries, Sorceror's Apprentice, Night On Bald Mountain, Danse Macabre, and others. Some of these may be too long to use in their entirety, but maybe you can cut them to fit your needs.

Sometimes it's possible to fit your existing choreography to a different song with just minor adjustments. See if you can adapt one of your existing dances to this alternate music.

In Conclusion

With a little creativity, you can add a seasonal touch to your show and do a performance that makes you stand out from the rest of the crowd. Take a look at your closet - you may already own some items that can be incorporated into a Halloween-theme belly dancing show of your own!
