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!

Music Video of the Day: Take Me To Hell by Chloe Adams (2024, dir by Dan Erman)


This is not a Halloween song per se but it still feels appropriate for the season. Chloe sings that she’d rather go to Hell and have fun than go to Heaven and be bored.  It sounds like someone just took a class on Paradise Lost.

“This is my job!”

I remember I saw a play in college where Hell was represented by lighting filters that were as red as my glorious hair.  Unfortunately, someone screwed up and even the scenes that weren’t taking place in Hell were tinted red.  Afterwards, I told the film’s cast, “You all were in Hell the entire time!” and they thought I was just referring to how much they disliked appearing in the play.

Anyway, where was I?  It’s late.  I’m rambling.

Enjoy!
