MUSIC VIDEO
21st Century Dogs
May 2023- Video made by Klaus Karloff, with image shot by Amelia-Moon, Laur and Charles Why. Idea is to try to understand what the -World looks like through the eyes of a dog, before biting the hand that feeds and revolting against the masters. It 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
This video has been 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
This video has been made by Klaus Karloff and Charles Why. Shot on location (Besancon, France and Olney, UK) by Laur and Amelia-Moon. Additional footages from the first "Frankenstein Movie" by Thomas Edison and "Der Golem" by Paul Wegener.
