Music Video of the Day: Last Chance by Kaskade featuring Project 46 (2014, dir by Anders Rostad)


Some people will probably claim that this isn’t really a horror-themed video.  Or, at the very least, it’s not horror-themed in the same way as some of the other videos that we’ve been sharing this month.

Well, that might be true but this video still gives me nightmares because I have a fear of drowning.  And before you say, “Well, gee, Lisa, everyone’s scared of that,” you should understand that my fear goes beyond the normal common sense caution that someone might experience while under water.  My fear is so extreme that, when my family went on vacation in Hawaii, I specifically mapped out the beach to make sure that I would never be at risk of getting sucked in by the tide.  I knew exactly how far the water would reach.

It’s sad.  I look so good in a bikini but you’re still definitely not going to get me out in the water.  I’ll pose on the sand or five feet away from the deep end of the pool but that’s it.

Anyway, I’m glad this video has a happy ending, even if it does scare the Hell out of me.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These), covered by Marilyn Manson (1996, dir by Dean Karr)


Goddamn, that pig freaks me out!

Seriously, though, we all know what Marilyn Manson is about and what you’re going to get when you watch one of his videos and he’s been around for so long that it’s kind of hard to get shocked by him.  I mean, he’s been imitated by so many other artists that he now almost seems kind of quaint.

But that said, this video is still seriously freaky.

And, of course, this song shows what Marilyn Manson does so well, taking a song that was formerly not scary at all and then making it his own.  I mean, seriously….

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Rock DJ by Robbie Williams (2000, dir by Vaughan Arnell)


Hmmm …. so, this video takes a turn.

Things start out with Robbie Williams playing just another dude who is desperate for attention.  He’s so desperate that he even gets naked on the dance floor which, let’s just be honest, is nothing that any of us haven’t seen before.  When that doesn’t work, he steps it up a notch.

And good for him!

Seriously, Robbie, do what you have to do.  If that means removing your skin and your muscles …. well, you do you.  Just try not to bleed all over my shoes.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: We are Water by HEALTH (2010, dir by Eric Wareheim)


This video starts out on a very disturbing note.  Thanks to slasher films, we’re all used to seeing people being chased through the woods by a machete or knife-wielding maniac.  However, by putting this particular maniac in his underwear, this video makes the subtext clear.

But then, just when the video is reaching it’s darkest point, things get empowering thanks to a well-aimed pointed stick.  I can’t tell you how many slasher movies I’ve watched and wondered, “Why don’t you just kick him in the balls when he approaches?”  Well, this video features a lot more than kicking.

And then the wig comes off and you can interpret that however you want.  The most important thing is that the big fat perv got stabbed in the dick.

Enjoy!

(Yes, this video was directed by Eric of Tim and Eric fame.)

Music Video of the Day: Miss Lucifer by Primal Scream (2002, dir by ????)


Hell yeah!  GO, MISS LUFICER, GO!

Unfortunately, it appears that Miss Lucifer can’t have too much fun without God interrupting with a lightning bolt but still, at least she got to enjoy herself for a half hour or so.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Burn by Mushroomhead (2006, dir by ????)


So, this really isn’t my type of music but it does seem appropriate for the Halloween season.

Anyone who comes by the house looking like this on Halloween will probably get all the candy that we have to give out.  That’ll be followed by me saying, “We’ve given you all the candy, please leave.”

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson (1996, dir by Fiona Sigismondi)


Hey, remember when Marilyn Manson was considered to be like really shocking and dangerous?

No?

Well, that’s understandable.  Marilyn’s been around for a while and he’s been so imitated that I think it’s kind of easy to forget just how much people freaked the fuck out about Marilyn Manson’s music and videos in the late 90s.  They even attempted to blame him for Columbine.  (Marilyn Manson also said one of the few wise things about that shooting.  When asked what he would have said to the shooters, he replied that he wouldn’t have said anything but he would have listened to what they were saying because apparently, nobody bothered to do that before the shooting.)  Now, of course, we just tend to think of Marilyn Manson as being a kind of dorky guy who is into horror movies, which is a pretty good description of the majority of film twitter.

Anyway, The Beautiful People features Marilyn on stilts, which apparently scared people to death back in the day.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin (1997, dir by Chris Cunningham)


If this video doesn’t give you nightmares, nothing will.

When the video starts, it seems like it’s a simple lesson in dog ownership.  If you’re going to walk your dog, don’t lead him around a post-apocalyptic hellsite and don’t allow him to urinate on an old TV.  Because, if you do, the TV will apparently come to life and start yelling at you.

But then the kids show up and …. oh my God.  I mean, children are creepy to begin with but when they all show up with an adult’s face — AGCK!

Anyway, stay away from those deserted warehouses, people.  They may be aesthetically pleasing but something bad always seem to happen to people who wander too close.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of the Day: Creatures by Motionless in White (2011, dir by Stephen Penta)


AGCK!

Today’s music video of the day is this wonderfully creepy video from Motionless in White.  Seriously, there’s always something disturbing about a maniacal grin in a music video.

With the exception of the chorus, this song was composed of lyrics that were sent by fans of the band.  Here’s what the fans came up with:

I fall
This is the end of you
This is the end of you
Whispers are their weakness
Their weakness
Everyday I must practice
To fake this smile on my face
It’s all the rain that’s putting me to sleep
It’s all the rain that’s putting me to sleep
I’ll let the blood tell the truth tonight, this is my life’s work
11 tracks is not enough, to tell you how I’ve died inside
And love is lost like words
11 tracks is not enough
In spiders eyes a man becomes a fly
In prolonged silence, we all stand defiled
We fall in line with the atrophy of life
The calm before the storm is a defeating silence
I’ve given my all, to this valley of despair
We are the damned, the cursed and the broken
There’s so much more inside us
We are the lost, the sick and unspoken
There’s so much more inside us
I’m drowning in an ocean of the tears that I’ve cried
I tried to drown my sorrows
Instead they’re all drowning me
I tried to drown my sorrows
Instead they’re all drowning me

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: What Lies Ahead by Semblant (2015, dir by ????)


What lies ahead?

According to this song from Semblant, the death of humanity.

Contaminate.

Eliminate.

Terminate.

Blood-stained walkers all around.  That may sound like a zombie movie but they could just as easily be singing about every day real life in certain parts of the world.  The theme here seems to be that we’re all going to die but at least we can rock out in a hotel lobby before the zombies rip us up until little pieces.  And trust me, when the zombie apocalypse finally begins, you’re going to miss moments like this.

So enjoy it while you can!
