[Exclusive] Something Isn’t Right In Suburbia In Blue Stahli’s “ULTRAnumb” Music Video
If the thought of living in suburbia doesn’t fill you with dread, perhaps Blue Stahli‘s latest video for “ULTRAnumb” will take care of that! Directed by Grant Mohrman, the video features Blue Stahli standing in a kiddie pool full of blood, a lovely couple sharing a human heart at a picnic, latex-clad people straight out of American Horror Story engaged in choreographed dance, and more. It’s also got a great deal of humor as well as a guest appearance from Celldweller! Check out the video below!
Now, I want to let you all know that there is a little hidden gem somewhere towards the end of the video. If you can find it and figure it out, I’ll give you a cookie.
The song comes from Blue Stahli’s 2011 self-titled album, which you can snag here.
Blue Stahli talks about the video, saying, “Prepare your body for an onslaught of the senses featuring suburban summoning circles, gallons of blood, slick choreography, strange sexy creatures, bizarro interludes, inappropriate use of picnic supplies, and MUCH more that made this video “too graphic” (whatever that means) for MTV. It’s probably best to just surrender yourself to the ridiculousness.”

‘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.
