Halloween Candy

I produced the song Halloween Candy, featuring nationally syndicated Horror Host Mr. Lobo. It is inspired by the great horror hosts of the past like

  • Bob Wilkins
  • Zacherle
  • The Ghoul

and a desire to add a worthy new tune to the small pantheon of officially accredited Halloween songs. Plus have fun bashing about with guitars!

Knightriders is Available for Pre-orders - Just to make it clear: This is Knightriders, not Knight Rider, the TV show with David Hasselhoff and the talking car. This is Donald Rubinstein's seminal score to George A. Romero's jousting biker flick that has been in demand ever since the film came out 27 years ago.


As a special treat, Donald has signed the first 100 covers. As usual, please limit 2 signed CDs per customer.
