SON OF THIRTY-ONE DAYS OF HALLOWEEN! DAY 6: WHITE ZOMBIE "I'M YOUR BOOGIEMAN" MUSIC VIDEO

Those of us from "the old days" of music and music video remember when a music video was an experience and sometimes, even an event. There are a number of music videos that made a deep impression on my young mind as a kid growing up in the late 80s/early nineties. These days, lyric videos have now become a new genre of music video; they've grown in popularity and in usage due to the inexpensive nature of their creation and because they allow music fans to learn the lyrics of their favorite songs.

Hopefully, lyric videos won't replace the "mini-movie" type of videos of days gone by, or those that use costume design, makeup, set design, and performance to make a video truly unforgettable.

Behold one of my favorites, the video for White Zombie's cover of KC and the Sunshine Band's "I'm Your Boogieman." I should warn you now: you might find this video highly disturbing, which is the point. It has no graphic violence or sexual content, but it is visually arresting, gory,  and also, dare I say it: fun. I especially enjoy it because it's a homage to those glorious "horror movie theater" shows from days gone by, that featured a creepy character (like Elvira, Mistress of the Dark) introducing classic and not-so-classic horror movies on late night weekend television. Enjoy!
