The dudes in A Rocket To The Moon seem to have a pretty amusing, mildly checkered past. Checkered? Yeah, I said it.

How else would you describe someone like Nick Santino? A man who deliberately and blatantly CONNED professional baseball player Jose Offerman into giving him candy three times in one Halloween (by dressing up as a Rastafarian, a "girl," and then, on a third trip to Offereman's candy bowl, Mankind, the wrestler). To be fair, Offerman would later go on to totally lose his mind and attack an opposing baseball player with a bat... so maybe it all works out in the end.

In the rest of this episode of "Halloween Horrors," the guys talk about their favorite scary flicks (they're into Rob Zombie) and dressing up like another deranged pro athlete -- Dennis Rodman.

With their visually arresting, theatrical videos (like this one for "Again"), it's no surprise that Flyleaf love them some Halloween.

In this "Halloween Horrors" interview, Flyleaf's Lacey and Jared Hartmann talk about Halloweens past; especially the time her little bro rocked the rather utilitarian costume of "sack of trash."

Lacey also recalls the Halloween night that Flyleaf got all kitted out and played a surprise show in Waco, Texas. There's also some essential discussion on Halloween candy and the various pros and cons of Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson as fighters. Take notes, this will all be on the final! And keep your eye out for many more Halloween Horrors interviews.

+ Former Danity Kane member D. Woods provides some terribly blunt revelations about Making The Band and just exactly how real "reality" television is. We applaud her candor. We do not, however, support her new haircut. (Singersroom)

+ Now that Pete Doherty is a Sober Sally, the absolute LAST thing he needs is to be infected with the Swine Flu. NOW GO OUT AND BUY SOME HOG! THE INDUSTRY'S A SUFF'RIN! (Holy Moly)

+ You need to see the trailer for Eminem's new video "3 A.M." It looks like Silent Hill meets a Rob Zombie movie. Pretty creepy (and of course, Em is shirtless). (Rap-Up)

+ As if you needed another reason to head to Austin, TX this year, Pearl Jam and Beastie Boys (along with Dave Matthews Band - meh) are headlining the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October (tix are only $185 for three days.. pretty good for a recesh budgie). Other notables include Lily Allen and John Legend.

+ And here you have it, "the face of digital energy," the official album cover for Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." It's supposed to be a blend of all four band members' faces, but I think it just looks like Fergie after a hard night of drinking, which could explain where her wig went. (Rap-Up)

+ If you're in the market for a creepy Patrick Swayze wax figure (that looks nothing like him but claims to "sport his famous flowing 1980's hairstyle" from Road House), then you have come to the right place! (Live Auctioneers)
