How can I get a job to run at 8pm on the Friday that occurs between the 18 and 24th of each month. This has to be pure crontab. I don't want to have to put a script wrapper around the job to be executed.

Cron can't do that but maybe this can help:
It would be something like this:
0 0 18-24 * * (date | grep Fri > /dev/null) && command
run at midnight any day between the 18th and 24th if date contains "Fri" in it.
