Columbia River Entertainment's
Halloween After Dark promises to “set the perfect mood to your Halloween bash with this collection of all time party favorites,” but what they don’t tell you is that these “all time party favorites” are cheap knockoffs of the originals. Listeners looking for versions of their favorite, seasonal classics (why is
Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like a Wolf” here?”) like “Time Warp” (from the
Rocky Horror Picture Show), “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” and “Monster Mash” performed by some guy on a basement Pro-Tools rig, will find much to love here. Scary stuff. ~ James Christopher Monger
