Kylesa “Lost and Confused” Video Premiere [Exclusive]
I’m pretty damned thrilled to premiere “Lost and Confused”, the new music video from sludge metal band Kylesa! Directed by Skip Terpstra, the video tells the tale of two criminals and the highs and lows that come with their line of work, all while mixing expertly shot performance footage. It reminds me of Natural Born Killers meets Pulp Fiction, maintaining this dark and gritty feel that mirrors the aggressive yet almost dreamlike aspect of the song.
Guitarist/vocalist Phillip Cope tells BD:
While the vision of this video belongs to Skip and may not follow the exact narrative of the song, we feel he was able to capture an intensity and darkness within a relationship that mirrors closely the vibe of “Lost and Confused”.
“Lost and Confused” comes from the band’s latest album Exhausting Fire, which can be purchased digitally via iTunes or physically via Season of Mist.
Director Skip Terpstra also explains to BD:
‘Lost & Confused’ is an incredibly dynamic song from a band which I’ve respected for a long time. The creation of a highly stylized vignette surrounding an escalating set of circumstances within a fictitious young love was a loose interpretation of the song’s subject matter.

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