VIDEO

Feels Like Tuesday (Deja-Vu)
 

June 2024. Video directed by Kaus Karloff in collaboration with ithinkimightbeclay, a "start and stop animation" artist from Belgrave (Vic). Shot by AMelia-Moon ad Fafa. A different  and slightly sinister take on "Groundhog Day"."Live scene" shot at "Earthly Pleasure Cafe" in Belgrave, Victoria  (Australia) and Besancon, France. Extracts from "Nosferatu " (F.W. Murneau) and "Alice In Wonderland" (C. Hepworth, P. Stow)

Ghost Of LAs Vegas
 

October 2023- Video directed by Klaus Karloff  to celebrate Halloween 2023.
There are some moments in life when one feels like a ghost. As such, the initial idea for this video was to illustrate this feeling of how we can feel alone even when surrounded by other people, like ghosts roaming in a casino.... in Las Vegas...
This video was shot in France (Paris, Belfort, Besancon), Australia (Melbourne, Dandenong Ranges, Belgrave, Bellingen), Washington (USA) and Ubud (Bali) and incorporates extracts from the first "Phantom of the Opera" movie, released in 1929 and directed by Rupert Julian.

Carpe Noctem
 

August 2023- Video directed by Klaus Karloff who here invites viewers to an imaginary road trip... Or witnessing the moment when ones drive to seize the night becomes an obsession and takes control.
Road scenes have been shot in New South Wales and Victoria (Australia), scenes inside the car -with Laur and Charles- in Besancon (France) and ghostly apparition of the beautiful Inga Liljestrom in Belgrave (Australia).
Additionally there is extracts from a police embedded camera (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6Mib4q16DQ) and views of Bonnie and Clyde’s Death car. Here's an article from "Punk Head" on the making of this song.

21st Century Dogs

May 2023- Video made by Klaus Karloff, with image shot by Amelia-Moon, Laur and Charles Why. The plot is to understand what the World looks like through the eyes of a dog... before and after said dog decides to bite the hand that feeds and revolts against the masters. All under the -not so helpful- eyes of Golem Dance Cult. Additionally Klaus used the screen as to make the protagonist crept at you, involving the viewer in a direct way. The video includes reference and extracts to/from:  "Night of the Living Dead" by George A Romero; Le Chien Andalou" by Luis Buñuel; Wolf Blood a Tale of the Forest" by George Chesebro.

Dalek Rhetoric

January 2023. Dalek are extra terrestrial killing machines with a binary thinking pattern: you are either a Dalek or they will destroy you.
This video has been realised by Klaus Karloff and shot on location in Emerald train station, Melbourne (Victoria, Australia), Besancon and Belfort (France).
As a visual inspiration, in addition to Dalek (Doctor Who), there are reels of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia (another Dalek move), extracts from the movies “Phantom from Space” and “Plan 9 from outer space”  and of course cameo from our old mates “Nosferatu” (Max Schreck) and “Dracula” (Bela Lugosi).
Special thanks to Aaron for the drumming.

Nosferatu Waltz

Video made by Klaus Karloff to celebrate Halloween 2021... Shot on location in the UK (Emberton and Olney) and France (Besancon and Belfort) with additional footages from the first “Nosferatu” (Friedrich Wilhelm Murneau), “White Zombie” (Victor Halperin -starring Bela Lugosi) and “Beauty and the Beast" (Jean Cocteau). Special thanks to Inga Liljestrom for the beautiful backing vocals and her cameo at the end of the video.

Marry Me Frankenstein

June 2021. This video has been made by Klaus Karloff and Charles Why. Shot on location (Besancon/France and Weston Underwood and Olney/UK) by Laurand Amelia-Moon. Additional footages from the first "Frankenstein Movie" by Thomas Edison and "Der Golem" by Paul Wegener. 

(In my time of) Living on Mars
