Lullaby

The Cure are known for their many bizarre and oftentimes-disturbing videos, but the promo that arguably takes the prize as the Goth-rock icons' most inventive production is Tim Pope's brilliant short film for the slow-motion late-night horror tale "Lullaby". Featuring a frighteningly nervy Robert Smith (who has more make-up on than usual) and his madcap alter-ego, the insistently ravenous spiderman, the whole clip has a distinctive aura highly reminiscent of ancient Victorian boardinghouses and their dank, dark corners.
