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!
Skulls, fire, and loud music in the desert?
Why, that’s perfect for Halloween!
Enjoy!
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!
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!
This was actually released in May but it still has a good Halloween feel to it.
Enjoy!
This would seem to be appropriate for the season.
Enjoy!
More bands need to put out Halloween videos. Thank you, Duran Duran, for remembering the season!
Enjoy!
A music video featuring someone carrying around a heart?
That sounds perfect for October!
Enjoy!
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!
Today’s song of the day is Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Barry Adamson.
This instrumental work appeared on the soundtrack for David Lynch’s 1997 film, Lost Highway, and its one of my favorite pieces of music. It’s amongst the songs that I tend to play whenever I’m dealing with writer’s block or if I just need an extra boost of energy to finish up a project. This song also seems like the perfect way to kick off the second half of October and our annual horrorthon!
I also have to say that the video below, which was put together by Jessie Essex, is amazingly cool.
