Background notes
Archive material and source history
Halloween formed in Detroit in the late 1970s, with Mark Abshire on vocals. They came up in a city that had already produced Alice Cooper and Ted Nugent. The band had a shifting lineup and dealt with money problems, but kept playing shows around Detroit.
They put out a few albums in the 1980s, including 'Death Metal' in 1983 and 'Don't Metal With Evil' in 1985. Their songs often leaned into horror themes, with titles like 'Children Of The Witches' and 'Crawl To The Altar'. The music mixed heavy guitar work with punk energy, and Abshire's lyrics gave it a dark, theatrical edge.
Mark Abshire died in 1995, which effectively ended the band. Their records, especially those early 80s releases, still turn up in conversations about Detroit metal from that period.
