Paranoia takes hold of a male anti-hero in this cinematic clip for the Texas rap trio’s 1991 single.

Geto Boys, “My Mind Playing Tricks on Me” (1991) The setting is not as secluded as the screamo band thinks: the foursome encounters a creepy man in a suit, a blood-covered blonde girl and someone dressed in a bear costume in this re-imagining of “The Shining.”ĩ. “There’s not gonna be a single living soul here,” Jared Leto tells his bandmates as they pull up to an abandoned hotel at the beginning of this clip. 30 Seconds to Mars, “The Kill (Bury Me)” (2006) This creepy video, directed by French filmmaker Tony ‘Traund’ Datis, adds a terrifying visual punch to Skrillex’s brutal barrage of beats.ġ0. When a predator decides to stalk a little girl who leaves a playground unattended, he comes face to face with a beast even for sinister than himself. Skrillex, “First of the Year (Equinox)” (2011) But wait, where is that Michael Jackson voice coming from?ġ1. We’re not sure why ’80s pop singer Rockwell is so petrified in the video for biggest hit, but the paranoia is worrisome. His house is well-lit, his TV is on, and he’s got a giant dog to protect him. Rockwell, “Somebody’s Watching Me” (1984) Then - lo! - housewives, old ladies and little girls are literally sucked into a dark abyss at the center of a burning sky.

The video is terrifying because of the creepy Precious-Moments-big-eye-ification and rictus grins of all the mundane characters. Suburban utopia morphs from kitschy to twisted in Soundgarden’s 1994 video. Behold the freakiest 98 seconds in British rock history.


The Horrors, “Sheena Is A Parasite” (2006)Īt first, it seems like Sheena (Oscar nominee Samantha Morton) just has a twitchy way of getting her groove on, but the gruesome surprise she has waiting under her pretty white dress isn’t quite so pretty. Before vampires were a a certifiable trend, Chris Brown cast a sexy fang-toothed female companion in his 2007 video for “Wall to Wall.” Brown doesn’t seem to mind the bites - just so long as vampiredom doesn’t affect his dance moves.ġ4.
