Off the top of my head, I really only remember two blow-out Halloween parties, so that’s never been a huge component of Halloween for me. However, I seem to haul out the same series of movies during the month of October.

This year, I decided it was probably time to pick up the Blu-Ray version of The Crow, but alas, the powers that be have not seen fit to make a Blu-Ray version. I’d say “my loss”, but I really think the loss extends to everyone.

Maybe I was just the right kind of kid at the right time for it, but for my money, The Crow is right up there with The Rocky Horror Picture Show for must-see October viewing.

Just thinking about it got me firing up the soundtrack, and getting carried back to the summer of ’94. And for the nonbelievers, the soundtrack alone is one of the most wonderful and special things to come out of the mid-90′s. I shit you not.

Honestly, it makes me feel bad for the kiddies today. What do you have? Some fruity vampire movie, about ten knockoffs, and the soundtracks are warmed over mall goth music “reimagined” from Marilyn Manson B-sides. You guys have it rough.
