Today, I thought I'd combine Halloween with Song of the Week and throw up this classic Iron Maiden track. (There was a music video, but I can't find it on YouTube.) Certainly my favorite Iron Maiden song (and I like a lot of their music), and Bruce Dickinson's guttural howl has been replicated by death metal groups ever since. (Apparently it just happened out of frustration.) The actor in the beginning is name Barry Clayton; apparently the band wanted Vincent Price, but they couldn't afford him. From 1982, when heavy metal was still interesting.
