Halloween is going to be even more scary this year: David J, bassist and one of the founding members of Bauhaus, re-recorded a new version of the classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead." According to David J's website, the new cinematic interpretation of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" was recorded by candlelight in a single take, and includes "bride of Dracula" backing vocals, an eerie autoharp, and an excerpt from Lord Byron's vampire poem "the Giaour."  David J's reinterpretation of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" will be released on October 31st.

Meanwhile Cherry Red Records is reissuing David J's first solo album, 1983's Etiquette of Violence, on November 25th, which has been out of print since 1990. For more on the reissue, visit Cherry Red.
