On October of 2000 Jay E Moores and Mark Harvey of Rain Station released a Halloween party album (or music to bop along to while waiting in line at a haunted attraction). Jay made animations for each of the 13 songs at JackOLantern.org 🎃 Children of all ages grew up watching them year after year. Dark Ride by Rain Station is now a Halloween classic.
To celebrate 25 years of Dark Ride, Robert Whittington (FIDreams) created this animated tribute to kick off the season.
