The Curator’s record

The trio is catalogued as a single ensemble because the curse, performance, and sentence bind all three together. Their music is best heard from a respectful distance.

Provenance

Harold, Clarence, and Albert mocked and tormented Margery until she transformed them into pumpkins. Their sentence was said to last one hundred years, though whether it has ended remains uncertain.

Observed activity

Glowing eyes and mouths awaken at Halloween. The three sing together through the night and retain distinct expressions associated with the boys they once were.

The Pumpkin's Curse

Season 1 · Episode 02

In tonight's story, we journey to the quiet town of Massapequa, where Halloween pranks turned into something far more sinister. Three boys, Harold, Clarence, and Albert learned the hard way that mischief has its consequences. Cursed by an enchantress, they were transformed into pumpkins, doomed to sing eerie songs every Halloween night for a hundred years. Tonight, under the glow of the moon, they return, hoping for freedom, but bound to the shadows of their curse... in Tales of the Mystical Caravan.
