Music Video Of The Day: Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell (2020, visuals by Eric Wilson)


Today’s music video of the day is for the haunting piece of music that we all know from Requiem For A Dream and countless Olympic ice skating routines.

Anyone who says this is not a horror song has somehow forgotten watching Ellen Burstyn get electroshock treatment while Jared Leto loses his arm.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: In Your Head by Raven Numan (2024, dir by ????)


Todays music video of the latest from Raven Numan.  Raven is the daughter of Gary Numan of Cars fame but she’s also a talented singer and performer in her own right.

This song is about obsession.  It may start like your typical pop love song but listen to the lyrics and …. yikes!

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Aquamarine by Addison Rae (2024, dir by Sean Price Williams)


This video has a decadent feel to it, one that makes it perfect for the scary season.  It may not be about vampires but perhaps it should be.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: The Valley by Bill Wyman and Terry Taylor (1985, dir by Michele Soavi)


Today’s music video of the day is for an instrumental piece that was composed by Bill Wyman and Terry Taylor for Dario Argento’s 1985 film, Phenomena.

Put together by Michele Soavi, this music video features not only scenes from the film but also clips of Dario Argento directing both Jennifer Connelly and Fiore Argento.  Soavi, of course, went on to have a directorial career of his own, directing four classic horror films before stepping away from feature films to take care of his ailing son.  Soavi has since returned to directing, though most of his subsequent work has been for Italian television.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Danse Macabre by Duran Duran (2023, dir by ????)


Today’s music video of the day is for the title track of Duran Duran’s 2023 Halloween-themed album.  It’s a good video, one that gives off a definite Tim Burton Before He Want Hollywood sort of feel.

All bands should put out special Halloween albums and videos.  It would certainly make my job a lot easier.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Atlantis by STRFKR (2013, dir by Vice Cooler)


It’s amazing the things that you see while you’re out running.  Seriously, I start nearly every morning with a run and …. well, I’ve never seen any of the stuff that’s seen in this video but then again, I’m also not running in Portland.

Is this a Halloween video?  Dracula would say yes.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Texas Goth by Sinnerella (2024, dir by Maximo Joaquin Vazquez)


It’s true!  There are goths in Texas.  There’s actually quite a few of them.  I experimented with being one back when I was eighteen and writing tortured poetry.

So, this video definitely speaks to me.

Enjoy!

Horror Music Video Video Of The Day: Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2009, dir by Richard Ayoaode)


And indeed, heads do roll in this video!

The werewolf pays homage to Michael Jackson’s Thriller video.  Ironically, Jackson died just a few days before this video was released.  Director Richard Ayoade is the same Richard Ayoade who starred in The IT Crowd and The Watch.  (Remember The Watch?  It wasn’t that bad.)

By the way, this video is a part of a Halloween playlist put together by our own Patrick!

Enjoy!
