3:01 Pick Me Up (Halloween Edition): The Pack a.d.

Let’s face it: 3 p.m. is the cruellest time of the workday. The morning latte has worn off, and the post-lunch crash has you staggering around like an extra from a George A. Romero flick. That’s why, each weekday at 3:01 p.m., we present you with a video hand-picked to kick-start your heart. If the following clip doesn’t bring you temporarily back to life and help get you through the rest of the afternoon, chances are you’re dead inside.

Today’s offering: Halloween is just days away, and, to celebrate, we’ve been out digging up coffins in rural cemeteries, putting the finishing touches on the Frankenstein-style monster we’ve been assembling in the basement, and watching Return of the Living Dead at least three times a day. In further celebration of the best holiday this side of Family Day, we’ve been spending hours on the intraweb sourcing our favourite Halloween-friendly videos. Don’t bother thanking us. Instead, ask yourself, “Are Maya Miller’s cymbal stands really made out of bones? Does Becky Black actually have eyes that look like they were plucked from the skulls of the cabin-dwellers in The Evil Dead? Where are the bodies that gave up those swirling ghosts? And where can I get those ooky-spooky trees for the streets outside my house?”
