Videodrama: The Voluptuous Horror of Karen O

Since a lot of folks in the States are coasting through the day before the holiday starts tomorrow, I thought I'd post a few fun horror-related music videos from one of my favorite bands, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

In an oddly prescient move, the band opted for some Michael Jackson imagery for the video for their latest single, "Heads Will Roll", which also features some wonderfully grand guignol moments near the end.





It's not the first time the band has mined horror tropes for its videos. Back on their first album, the Yeahs brought video wonderkind Spike Jonze on-board to direct the wonderfully creepy evil kid party for "Y Control":



Y-Control


Bondage imagery and entomological horror made the video for "Pin" one of the creepiest stop-motion pieces I've ever seen:

And their concert DVD, Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow, has old-timey horror monsters as its central visual theme.




So it shouldn't be surprising that True Blood is on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs party bus, having used their song "Phenomena" (off of Show Your Bones) in one of the promos for Season Two:

Friday Afternoon Videos: Looker, Gay Nightmare, and more!

Thought A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (The Gaypex of Horror Cinema) was as queer as it could possibly get? Think again!

She's a Lookaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Is it just me, or does this Gay Hulk MADTV character remind you of Perez Hilton?

Super-eerie video for equally-creepy song "What's a Girl to Do" by Bat for Lashes.
