If you read my favorites of 2017 list, then you know I'm head over horror-loving heels for the band Muse. I was thrilled and chilled by their sci-fi-infused 2017 music video for "Dig Down" and their 2016 ode to Elvira with a stylish cover of The Cramps' "New Kind of Kick." Today, Muse unveiled their most horror-themed project yet with their music video for their new song "Thought Contagion," and it's already safe to say that this video should be added to Halloween 2018 playlists.
Bathed in ’80s-esque neon lights, the music video for "Thought Contagion" blends elements of A Nightmare on Elm Street (particularly Dream Warriors), Stranger Things, and Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Fangs, extra long fingernails, and eerie glowing eyes highlight this Lance Drake-directed experience that takes a bite out of ’80s nostalgia while injecting it with a dose of the dystopian futuristic style of "Dig Down."
If you're looking for an early Halloween treat or want to see Matt Bellamy as a werewolf, this is the music video you've been waiting for. You can experience the video for yourself below, and to add "Thought Contagion" to your music arsenal, visit the song's official page online.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
