Bloody-Disgusting is beyond excited to bring you the exclusive music video premiere for Nekrogoblikon‘s “No One Survives”, which comes from their 2011 album Stench. Directed by Brandon Dermer and with effects from Mark Villalobos from the special FX company Monster Effects (Devil’s Rejects, MTV’s Death Valley), the video shows a lonely goblin who is desperately seeking the attention of the beautiful Kayden [Kayden Kross], a woman with whom he works. However, the nefarious Brad is constantly getting in the way. It all leads up to a finish that will not be forgotten any time soon!

This video is absurd amounts of fun and I can’t recommend you checking it out enough! Show your friends. Show your family. Hell, show a complete stranger!

This shoot worked out really well for me because I have a thing for asshole princes, and also for goblins, and for pulpy bits of dripping human matter coming at me from various locales on the body. The whole project really just met me at all of my levels.” – Kayden Kross

I saw Nekrogoblikon randomly through a good friend one night deep in the San Fernando Valley. I was so inspired by their live performance and straight-faced commitment to absurdity, I knew that very moment that if our efforts were to be combined it would result in something truly special. Four months later, we had a f*cking video.” – Brandon Dermer

For the past year, this band has been getting more and more incredible opportunities, but when Brandon Dermer came to us with this concept, we really knew something special was happening.” comments Tim Lyakhovetskiy, the band’s co-founder and guitarist.

Originally we wanted to get cool haircuts and have a performance footage-only video of us playing in a warehouse and headbanging synchronously. Then we met Brandon Dermer and he gave us this cool idea of having a video that was good.” Alex Alereza, the band’s guitarist.

Working with B-Derms was an amazing experience… watching something of that scale move like a well-oiled machine was an eye opening experience for me. What made it even better was the fact that he’s a total fanboy. Normally you gotta see it to believe it. In this case, you gotta believe it to see it.” Nicky Calonne, the band’s co-founder and singer.

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc

Published

The Haunting of Pennhurst Clip

The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors. 

Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.

In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.

“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”

The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.

“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement. 

Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
