AMV Recommendations 10/23/2009

Since it's getting close to Halloween, I thought I'd post some recs for spooky AMVs today.

The Box of Sorrows by Bea$t.

This video successfully combines scenes from the Silent Hill 4 video game with scenes and imagery from the Hellraiser film to create something that's creepy and a bit gory. I was never a huge fan of Silent Hill 4, but this video takes some of the creepier images from the game and uses them well.

Doombringer by KwAsEk56.

A lot of the imagery in Berserk is rife with the frightening and terrible. This video uses illustrations from the manga to effectively create a horrific feeling in the viewer. Don't discount manga music videos, there are some really awesome ones like this one.

So Very Tired by blabber.

Not scary so much as dark and weird, this video uses some weird homebrew musical track and the bizarre experimental anime Angel's Egg to create a very unsettling mood.

Twinkle by falconone.

Mnemosyne set to the trailer for the video game Dead Space. Blood and nudity warnings. Very creepy and dark.

What's he Building? by Ingow.

This video creeps the shit out of me. Ghost Hunt was surprisingly creepy at times on its own, but coupled with the audio it really sends shivers down my spine.

Macabre Serenade by Ileia.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei at its weirdest. Lots of Chiri-chan acting murderous and Itoshiki-sensei going insane.

Tokyo Demons by Jayn_Newell.

Kakurenbo set to a song from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Phantom of the Opera by Kevin Caldwell.

An oldie-but-a-goodie, set to the anime Memories. From an era when editing was done using a couple of tape decks and was much more labor-intensive than now.

Rozen Malinaby rei.andrea

More gothic than creepy per se, but appropriate for the season. Various seasons of Rozen Maiden set to some German gothic rock.

Hope that helps to get your creepy mood on at your next Halloween party.
