Flaming Halloween Fun

10/29/07
. (Launch) This year, when the Oklahoma Gazette invited resident Okie eccentrics the Flaming Lips to participate in its annual "Ghouls Gone Wild" Halloween parade, the Lips enlisted their biggest fans to join the March Of 1,000 Flaming Skeletons--a "spectacle celebrating the mysterious, the supernatural, and the otherworldly," according to the band's recruitment email.

"A symbolic procession glorifying the beauty of death and the boundless flame of love and life," the Flaming Lips' Halloween march took place on Saturday, October 27, with approximately 1,000 fans (the exact number that the Fire Marshall actually permitted is still up for debate) dressed in matching skeleton bodysuits and carrying lit torches through the streets of Oklahoma City.

Fans paid a $25 fee to join the parade, but were allowed to keep their skeleton costumes, their "beautiful, one-of-a-kind, weird-ass" commemorative T-shirts, and their memories of this unique event forever - A lot more including photos
