Into the pantheon of great movie taglines I submit “This Halloween, unleash the Dogg.” Between albums Tha Last Meal (’00) and Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$ (’02), Snoop Dogg did a turn as Jimmy Bones, a switchblade-wielding ghost stalking his murderers and sending them to hell. Some are classics, others cringey, but all are utterly oh-one.
