Halloween 80s Trivia Questions

Back in the 80's, The Cure had a video that also featured spiders and cobwebs. In this video, a bedridden Robert Smith anxiously contemplates being devoured by a gigantic spider-like creature. What's the name of the song for which this video was conceived?

Bonus Question: The aforementioned video is truly a masterpiece, from the concept to the costumes, sets, and cinematography. It was directed by long time Cure collaborator Tim Pope, but it could easily be mistaken for the work of Tim Burton. Burton was responsible for surrealistic and spooky feature films like "Beetlejuice," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Edward Scissorhands," and "Batman." One of Burton's earliest work was a 5 minute animated short that set the tone for much of his later works. The actor who narrated the film was also the inspiration for it, and he would later describe it as "immortality - better than a star on Hollywood Boulevard." What was the name of this actor?
