Horror music videos

Mazurka Macabre · 05-22-2009, 01:15 AM

I'm always impressed when music videos put horror conventions or iconography to good use, even if they're being playful while they're doing it.

Check out this video by Rainbow Arabia. It features a woman and her son who arrive at their husband/father's supermarket mid-transformation. (You'll see what I mean.)

Anyone know any other music videos, besides "Thriller", that have a horror theme?

One of my favorite videos ever. Especially if you can show it to someone not expecting the ending. Worth sitting though. Please trust me on this one.

There's the ridiculous Zombie Killer by Leslie and the Ly's and also Zombie Killer Revisited by the same but featuring Elivra. There might be others, neither of those versions are on the Zombie Killer 7" I have.

edit: Here's a live video of the same song! She reminds me of Wesley Willis a little, too bad we'll never know what would happen if the two of them hooked up and had a kid... :]

The Horror Punk subgenre and Psychobilly bands almost always use said iconography in their vids. Some of my favs :

The Misfits - Scream (directed by George Romero)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8SPnl3qcso

The Misfits - Abominable Dr. Phibes / American Psycho
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzYdMSAkGqA

Penis Flytrap - The Dead hate the Living (theme song to the movie of the same name)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ulDwe5Cz84

Horror Story - Full Moon at Midnight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gED02Xd5xE

Zombie Ghost Train - R.I.P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSiLJ...eature=related

The Creepshow - Zombies Ate Her Brain (a bit campy, but very fun)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu3Rf...eature=related

Calabrese - Voices of theDead (Zombie hunters, what more could you ask for?Oh yeah...a Plan 9 tribute as well)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmS4keLLEr4

Blitzkid - Nosferatu (Uses clips from the classic of the same name)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5wt302oph0

The Meteors - Chainsaw Boogie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G65AnQrR5MY

Tiger Army - Incoporeal (not really "horror", but he is a ghost haunting his former lover)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9B6uMWQ9AA

Metallica - All Nightmare Long (not horror punk or psychobilly in the least, but a cool vid none the less)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4k-g6Djni8

I was gonna link Alice Cooper & Twisted Sister's "Be Cruel To Your School", but YouTube seems to have disabled the audio on all of them!

Pretty cool,reminds me of the striptease from the old anthology film THE MONSTER CLUB.

I like the video for DAMONE's ''OUT HERE ALL NIGHT",has a vibe that's a cross between EVIL DEAD and a Euro slasher flick

rhett · 05-22-2009, 07:15 AM

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Foo Fighters' Everlong. A pretty fun video that definitely plays off Evil Dead and all the "cabin in the woods" tropes:

Necrophagia made the best "horror videos" but they're too graphic to get put on YouTube.

Slackjaw83 · 05-22-2009, 07:19 PM

I'm not the most familiar with their mid-80's, pre-Anselmo work, but the stuff from the second era of Necrophagia just doesn't do it for me. Easily my least favorite project (of the 150 or so) that Anslemo was involved with.
