90s Indie Rock Icons Unite to Steal Halloween Candy from Kids

Most people know the story of the Salem witch trials, but how many know the legend of Sweetapple the Warlock, who returns every Halloween to get his revenge on his false accusers by stealing their Tootsie Pops and Fun Size Krackels?  On non-Halloween days, he also plays in a band with J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, Robert Pollard from Guided by Voices and members of Cobra Verde. The band's called Sweet Apple. Here's a video with Halloween in it
