New Wave Music Video

Hi there! Can anyone identify an '80s (or possibly early '90s) music video in which there is a scene where several people are sitting around a table in a haunted house? (Not the Ratt song.) If I remember correctly it was a band similar to The Cure. I saw the video on VH1 Classic several years ago and never saw it again.

By the way, to show my appreciation for your time and help I have shared what I consider another rare '80s gem in the "Obscure 80s Central" forum. The post is "SHARE: Digitally Restored New Wave Song." I hope everyone enjoys it! Thank you.

That Arcadia video fits the description exactly, but that's not the one I have in mind. Thank you, though! I wish I could remember more about the one I saw...

Another very good recomendation, but that's not it either. There must be a bunch of videos like this!

Thank you again, but that is also not the one I had in mind. I appreciate your suggestion!

That's an interesting video and a fun song that I'd never heard before, but not the video I had in mind. But it's still very enjoyable!

Ok. I'll really stretch it. How about Images In Vogue "In The House". IIRC that was in Dale's "I wish to be the Canadian Robert Smith" phase. Don't know if the house was supposed to be haunted or not and there is a table with people around it. [:D]

I've never come across this band before and I like them! It's great when I-Tunes actually has something like this! But this isn't the video I'm looking for. The Arcadia video is the closest so far.

I feel silly because the first day I got satellite tv I saw the video I'm asking about. I didn't bother to write down the name of it because I figured I'd see it again but I never did.

Thank you very much, but still not the one I saw. I appreciate your suggestion though.
