Drawing influence from Stephen King and George Romero, The Black Dahlia Murder took an EC Comics cartoon horror approach to their seventh music video "Everything Went Black," which was directed by David Brodsky (All That Remains, The Red Chord).
"After the last two videos, which were comprised of live and goofing around footage, we wanted to do something different," singer Trevor Strnad said in an exclusive statement to HeadbangersBlog.com. "'The 'Creepshow' theme was an idea of Brian’s, and I think it was the perfect way to represent what we’re all about -- classic horror elements and ridiculous amounts of fun. We chose Brodsky because of his prior involvement with The Red Chord, and we are very stoked with the outcome. He did a really great job with recreating the campy comic book vibe of the old 'Creepshow' movies. For any of you new jacks that aren’t familiar with 'Creepshow,' you better get your asses in gear and check it out! I must commend Dave for tolerating my most horrible acting skills ('Dude, you smiled in EVERY part!') and John K for being the best actor this horror business has ever seen. Stay morbid and we’ll see you soon."
