Halloween. The etymology of the word breaks down thusly: Hallow is short for hallowed, which means holy. Ween is short for weenie, which describes the size of the candies that are given during the gloaming's traditional costumed amble.
But man (and woman) cannot live by candy apple alone. Which is why the Blender Blog has compiled this list of videos for your Friday Halloween enjoyment. The first is a brand new video and song by Bruce Springsteen. This 'Halloween Surprise' went live at midnight last night and has since (IE, in the past ten hours) been called the best Boss clip in twenty years by Boss fanatics. The song, Jersey Devil, takes its lyrical inspiration from a legend concerning an eighteenth century New Jersey woman whose thirteenth son grew hooves, horns and bat wings. The musical aesthetic, however, is all blues. The clip features Bruce emerging from a pool of black water and gallivanting around a haunted house, and is pretty pro; certainly no last minute afterthought. Nice job, Bruce.
