Wow! I just had a deja vu. I clicked the Gregor Crewdson site and though it looked somewhat familiar. Then I figured it out. His work reminds me of that of Anderson Luste. Go to his website at andersonluster.com and see for yourself. We happen to have the original of “Darkness on the Edge of Town”. It proudly hangs in our living room.

All of those Aphex Twin videos were directed by Chris Cunningham and just about ALL of his videos run high on the creep-o-meter. I have a DVD of a bunch of his work and while they are visually striking and, in some cases, very beautiful, they are all super weird.

Here are a few fairly disturbing metal videos: “It All Dies Today” by Eyes of Fire – I am not sure what this video means but it will make you leary of cats. “Eyes of the Insane” by Slayer – Make that GRAMMY winners Slayer doing their tribute to the war, listen for the belt creak at the end. “Sorgens Kammer Del II” by Dimmu Borgir – Satan in every frame, brought to you by TNKOTB of black metal.

Well, okay – these videos are nessecarily violence and death, but the post spurred the thought process.

It’s creepy, yes.

It’s also creepy how violence and death seem to be making their way into mainstream media and advertisments. What’s frightening about the whole deal is that media and advertisments DO exert influence over their viewers.

Take, for example, America’s Next Top Model Season 8, Week 4. The models were told to pose themselves in the situation of a homicide.

(Since no links are allowed, google “America’s Next Top Model Season 8 Week 4″ to view the photographs; it’s the first link)

"e: “Nigel: I agree that this is a fashion shot, but you don’t look dead to me. You look like you’re dying.”

… Since when did being dead become sexy?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I always felt a little sick after watching Supersonic’s “Black Hole Sun”…especially the part where the little girl is BBQing her Barbie.
