defrogIntroducing a new limited series to help count down the remaining 13 days until Halloween, the bestest holiday EVER. Team Def gives you one Halloween-themed song + video once a day, every day, until All Hallow’s Eve.
MISSION: To mix a few old favorites with some stuff you’re not likely to hear on your local radio station (unless yr lucky enough to live within range of a decent college radio station). I’ll try not to be too obvious in my selections, or at least use the power of the YooToobs to put a slightly fresh spin on them. That’s why you’ll not be hearing any Bobby Boris Pickett, Sheb Wooley or Charlie Daniels Band here.
DISCLAIMER: Track selection limited to Internet availability of decent quality video and my own frayed memory. If yr favorite song or artist doesn’t appear by October 31, make yr own list.
This being an official Team Def list, of course we’re going to start things off with Blue Oyster Cult’s “Nosferatu” – with footage from the film, and a strangely compelling introduction from David Carradine.
Rats in the hold,
This is dF

Carradine's intro to that clip reminded me what an amazing bit of cinema that is. I most recently saw it when the John Malkovitch/Willem Dafoe film SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE was playing a few years back. The scenes they recreated just did not look as good as the ones in the original flick.
