gosling’s halloween treat

In honor of Halloween, a video from the wrap party of Ryan Gosling’s spirit-obsessed musical project Dead Man’s Bones:

Musically it’s a mediocre performance, but Gosling and Zach Shields made a pact to learn every instrument they wanted on the album and to not do more than three takes of any track, so perfection wasn’t the point. Besides, it’s worth watching for the kids’ costumes, and as a trained actor, Gosling’s spooky voice is spooky. Plus, the dénouement is a kid crashing a cymbal with a plastic sword before he and a mummy “pound it.”

The whole project is worth reading about. Especially on Halloween.
