Horror has been making its way into avenues where we may not obviously expect to find it. Infusing with pop culture and pop music. This is nothing new, but there seems to be a recent uptick (see The Weeknd), this intersection is delivering catchy tunes with some seriously wonderful juxtaposing imagery, paying homage to some of our favorites. Images from Tinashe‘s “Naturally” are circulating on social media and we had to pick our collective jaws up off the floor. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre vibes are aplenty, and we aren’t talking just a slight wink towards the classic, the whole dang final scene is recreated in the music video.
We start off with a Little Couture Bo Peep and an animal skull scarecrow for a distinctly folk horror touch, that quickly veers into full horror territory. Blood spatter and rusty hooks in a barn. Butcher knives and beakers of blood. A bloody bath, and of course the aforementioned nod to Sally Hardesty as Tinashe sits blood-soaked in the back of a pickup truck laughing maniacally up at the sky. We also have choreography and cute sheep (feasting upon a bag of organs?) Check out the full video below.
