//Neon Rewind: Halloween Video Playlist//

It’s Halloween! Have a happy one, folks! This is a great holiday–it isn’t truly a holiday because you don’t get the day off work or school, so how can you truly consider it one? But you get to eat candy and dress up. While you’re trickin’ (….) and treatin’ and eatin’ all of that tooth-rotting goodness you collected by pretending to be a big 12-year-old, come enjoy a few videos that are sure to keep you in a spooky mood all weekend long.

No. We’re not going to get all cliche and play Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller” (which I’ve heard at least six times today. Gosh, can’t radio stations be original!?) No “Ghostbusters” and no “Monster Mash.” Sorry! We worship current pop so the oldest “rewind” on our playlist was released in 2000. Not all videos are scary. They might have some awesome frequent costume changes, dark concept, or be just plain creepy.

Stone Temple Pilots – Sour Girl: We love this video because it’s dark but Scott Weiland‘s harmonious dance moves comfort us from those creepy ass big head Teletubbies swagger-jackers. And hello! A raven-haired Sarah Michelle Gellar? Winner!

Chris Brown – Wall to Wall: Sure, Chris clearly wanted this video to be a Halloween staple like the aforementioned Jackson vid. And although we love him like the Snickers Mini’s we’re consuming at an addict’s rate, we have to mark this one with a big F for fail since the song doesn’t match the mood. But dangit! The kid tried! We like his effort.

Rihanna – Disturbia: You knew this one was coming, right? Well hey! Rihanna really put together a great scary time video for this time of year. We’re undecided on her “Thriller” grade, but we know it’ll be higher than Chris’s. “Disturbia” has one big thing going for it that’ll rank it higher–like “Thriller” no one really knows what the hell the song “Disturbia” is about. Win!

Christina Aguilera – Fighter: What’s not to love about a video where Christina Aguilera is a creepy butterfly then a creepy….Geisha Girl? We never really knew what she was supposed to be at the end of the video but it creeped us out, so we loved it.

Kerli – Walking on Air: This Estonian goddess came right out the box delivering a Halloween video classic from her debut album Love is Dead release in July of this year. Creepy singing dolls are always welcomed on the 31st of October.

Britney Spears – Toxic: Ok. True. There is nothing remotely creppy or scary about this video (except maybe that big dude making out with Britney). But Brit’s wardrobe changes inspired Halloween costumes for years. That deserves a post up!

My Chemical Romance – Welcome to the Black Parade: This is by far one of our favorite videos, not just for the holiday but, like, ever. It’s dark, a bit morbid–it’s just freakin’ awesome. The elephant-faced chick totally freaks us out but still, awesome.
