Halloween is Rammstein time! I mean, any old time could be Rammstein time, but to me, the German band's videos seem most appropriate at this time of year.

Case in point: "Mein Herz brennt" (the title translates as "My Heart Burns"). 

The creepy opening monologue comes from an old German kids' TV show called Unser Sandmännchen, which is considerably less terrifying than the Rammstein video, which is basically a nightmare set to music.

BONUS: Here's the "Piano Version", which is self-explanatory.

Both videos were filmed at Beelitz-Heilstätten, a complex of about 60 hospital buildings in the former East German town of Beelitz. Built in 1898, the Beelitz-Heilstätten served as a military hospital during the First World War (a wounded Adolf Hitler was a patient after the Battle of the Somme in 1916). The Red Army took over in 1945, and it remained a Soviet military hospital until 1995—which you'll note was several years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

Beelitz-Heilstätten has just been sitting empty since then, slowly falling to ruin. If the words "abandoned Soviet military hospital complex in the former East Germany" don't send a shiver down your spine, you are a braver person than I am. Perhaps you would even consider spending the night there some cold October eve. If so, maybe these pictures will make you reconsider.
