(played by Jesse Dayton) has become a regular fixture here at Fango, recently reporting on his video shoot and providing his own installment of FANGORIA MUSICK's LISTS OF DOOM series.

The cover art by David Hartman can be viewed below and you can get your copy of the album on the same day that HALLOWEEN II arrives in theatres - August 28th.
