Each year, bands produce a plethora of Halloween material hoping that its holiday sparkle with spur some interest. Seeing as Halloween is one of our favorite holidays of the year, we’re a sucker for it all and love all the creepy videos and gloomy music we receive into our inbox during October. Here’s some of the best.

The Videos:

April Smith and the Great Picture Show’s new video for “Terrible Things” – the lead single from their debut Songs For A Sinking Ship.

This video for the song ‘Midnight Monsters’ by the band Pinto and the Bean was filmed entirely on the iPhone 4 in band member Paul’s kitchen- and it came out shockingly well.

Misty Boyce’s ‘Dutch Girls’ – a song not necessarily written for Halloween but its video and lyrics are haunting nonetheless. Misty was found the inspiration for both from a photo she saw in an art trade magazine showing an empty bed in a stark hotel room with a painting of two Dutch girls dancing to the music of a fiddler.

“A Girl, A Boy, and a Graveyard” is the latest collaboration between artist/director Eric Power and musician Jeremy Messersmith, and the song is
featured on Messersmith’s third album and final installment in a trilogy, The Reluctant Graveyard.
