But that's enough about that... today's track is "Dub in Blood" by Skin, Flesh & Bones and it comes from the album also entitled Dub In Blood on the Sunshot label and released some time in the 1970s. A pretty wicked-ass dub track and one that I have embellished with some audio from Dracula Prince of Darkness, one of my favorite Hammer Dracula films. I don't know why but it seems like the scenes in the Dracula movie where the main characters are conspiring to destroy the evil bloodsucker and or learning the ways of a vampire, work best mixed in with the music. One reason may be the fact that Christopher Lee spoke very little in most of the Dracula films and the other may be reggae's longstanding fight against injustice and combatting the evils in the world intent on keeping people in oppression, poverty and hunger, works well when it comes to fighting vampires too. Or maybe... just maybe... I may be over-thinking all this! See you tomorrow!

Appreaciating what you are doing...
All the Halloween mixes are on a loop..
Bless
I usually wait for the completed mix before dropping a congrats of some sort, but, hi! Keep going!
I'd like to add my voice once again to say that your Jamaican Halloween Spooktacular is a highlight of the Halloween Countdown each year. Not only the excellent choice of tracks and beautifully edited sound effects and movie clips but also the phenomenal artwork that accompanies each song! Truly superb!
Nice tune! Give thanks!

About a week left! You can dooo eeet!! :) Seriously though October is flying by way too quick. I don't want it to end. Thank you for carrying me through another October marathon.
Wouldn't be Halloween without you
Do you have a way of counting downloads? If so, perhaps that would give you an idea of your success. A couple hundred downloads can say what a few comments cannot! :)
Still enjoying each post like I do every year. I play these often this time of year. Whenever my children happen to hear reggae any other time, they'll ask me if Halloween is near.
Thanks everyone for that push... glad to know the mix is being so well received!
