Nothing to do with The Cure, but this clip is fantastic! : )

Lullaby and Burn make a couple of Halloween party playlists. (Thanks Heron and Monghi)

MTV reminisces about The Crow soundtrack.

A collection of Cure pumpkins, along with The Top and The Nightmare. (Thanks Heron)

MTV has put together a list of the Scariest Albums of All Time, and Pornography takes the top spot. (Thanks Heron)

Old Cure friends, and opening act, Cranes, will be playing at Garage in Oslo, Norway on Halloween night. (Thanks Lars)

And Heron has compiled a Cure Halloween playlist and article. (Thanks Heron)

Anyone else carving Cure-related pumpkins this year? Or dressing up as a Cure other than RS? : )

    Cure-related pumpkins - I've collected a few of them on Flickr but would love links to more.

    Here's the collection right now -

    I can't add my own pics to the collection, but here are two of mine - The Top one is the one I just carved yesterday and the Nightmare one is from last year.

    My special blessing for Cure peeps, Craig and the Band, is may all of our most cherished hopes and wishes and dark dreams come true!

    I guess this is the season for adding Cure songs to your Halloween playlist, all the cool kids are doing it:

    Lullaby makes the list -

    A scary insult for Robert -

    and speaking of Burn, MTV has a series out about the 15th anniversary of the Crow, mentions The Cure's contribution to the soundtrack -

    I wonder, was Justin Schneider born a tool, or did he cultivate it? :-p

    Rev, thanks for the blessing! :-)

    The Crow is an absolutely phenomenal film (one of my top 10 and it's first sequel is underrated too Mr Pope), however it never lived up to its awesome soundtrack. If it did The Crow would be the greatest film ever.

    7bluestars, I think that for someone to become a tool on the level of Justin Schneider requires a lifelong commitment to douchebaggery. Just sayin'

    Damn Ewoks. Not contempt with just ruining Return of the Jedi, now they have to screw up Halloween too.
