3:01 Pick Me Up: Sisters of Mercy

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 a week 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 Nosferatu 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, just give us the ring, which, back in the day, we would have happily slipped on the finger of Sisters of Mercy bassist Patricia Morrison. Can you say “Goth goddess?”.
