Character Spotlight: Eric Draven

Eric is a rock musician who's engaged to be married on Halloween, to his girlfriend Shelly Webster. However his life is tragically cut short when he is shot and stabbed the night before their wedding, and his girlfriend is brutally beaten and raped by a gang of lowly thugs. A year later on the same day, Eric is resurrected back from the dead and led by a black crow, to avenge his and Shelly's murder. Painting his eyes black and face white to look like a porcelain harlequin mask, Eric is ready to face his killers. He is played by Brandon Lee in the 1994 American Gothic film The Crow.
