A fan of the Dark Ride album emailed and asked permission to animate our music. I was psyched. It came out nifty. I especially love the homage to the Candy characters and other characters from our past animations.
25 years went by really fast. Mark Harvey and I have raised our children, shared our love of Halloween with them, and here we are still going strong due to Robert Whittington’s new animation. Thanks, Robert Whittington of FIDreams. Thanks for reminding us that we exist.
I hadn’t noticed that we reached the 25 years point. I do know that two generations have grown up listening to our Halloween tunes. I also want to thank Heather Drain for reminding us that we are still worth mentioning at this time of year. Heather has had a lot to do with our exposure to all things internet. Yay team.
I don’t know why Mark and I made Dark Ride. We just love Halloween. It wasn’t a commercial project, it never tried to make any money. It was a project we did because we want to be a part of the Halloween season. It feels really good to hear from Dads who search for our animations to show their kids. It means so much to us to be a part of your celebration.
Dark Ride is a party album, made for parties, long cues at haunts, any place where a bouncy dancey Halloween vibe could be of use. Plus Mark and I make some really funny voices and characters. Check it all out at JackOLantern.ORG 🎃 – and Happy Halloween to you and yourn!
