"Dream Warriors"
Here it is! Since I couldn't resist writing about Fastway's "Trick or Treat" earlier this month, here's my next choice for the perfect rock song for Halloween. Dokken's "Dream Warriors" was part of the soundtrack for Nightmare on Elm Street 3, which is obvious if you watch the video.
I thought this song and video were the absolute coolest. I loved all the Freddy movies, and while I didn't know Dokken at the time (this song was my introduction), the combination of horror and rock was irresistible. I thought the song was awesome, and I loved how the video didn't just use footage from the movie but actually had the band interact with it. Plus Don Dokken just had the perfect theatrical, sinister aspect that really kind of sold it. It's cheesy to look at it now, sure, but man, at the time? So good.
Happy Halloween!
