A bold crusader journeys to the belly of the earth in search of the Holy Grail. Instead he awakens an ancient Vampiress who curses him with Eternal Life as a Rock n' Roller.

BEHIND THE SCENES
My biggest inspiration for this music video was the 1973 horror film, Messiah of Evil. In honor of the grungy, bloody, simplistically horrifying practical effects of vampire/zombie cult-classics, I opted for handmade boutonnières of dried flowers, thrifted theater costumes, pale face makeup, thick red eyeliner, and (my favorite) guts made of Pillsbury cinnamon roll dough and red corn syrup.
