Halloween was formed in 1983 by members Rick Craig, Brian Thomas, George Neal and Bill Whyte. The band has been "A longtime staple of Detroit's music scene" as stated in The Detroit Almanac along with a list of favorites such as MC5, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Eminem and Kid Rock. They are also a favorite beyond the pond in Europe. They are mentioned as part of the Detroit music culture at the Detroit History Museum. They have played with bands such as Megadeath, Queensryche and others. Their stage shows are spectacular; adorned in horror props, lights, fog, occasional fire (if permitted) and a front man in constantly changing costumes.

Their debut album Don't Metal with Evil was released in 1985 on the Motor City Metal label.
