Hip hop music and horror movies go way back. Sometimes the two came\u00a0together as a promotional gimmick (see Freddy Krueger’s collaborations\u00a0with Will Smith<\/a> and The Fat Boys<\/a>), sometimes it was a case of an artist\u00a0paying homage to (or making fun of) the horror icons of their time.<\/p>\n

Froggy Fresh (The Artist Formerly Known as Krispy Kreme, until Krispy\u00a0Kreme threatened to sue the bejesus out of him) lands somewhere in the\u00a0middle of homage and parody with his 2012 track “Halloween.” Employing a raspy Southern accent, Froggy Fresh tells about a night of trick-or-treating that takes a dark turn when noted serial killer Michael Myers turns up in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The song is catchy as hell, and the video does a great job of evoking\u00a0those late Halloween nights, strolling through the dimly-lit streets in\u00a0search of candy…and those moments when you realize all the other\u00a0trick-or-treaters have gone in, and you’re three blocks from home and all\u00a0alone…except for whoever is following you….<\/p>\n
