I remember seeing a meme that said Ghost is the love child of Black Sabbath and ABBA and it makes sense

When I finally figured out that the lyric is “bewitch you” instead of “be with you,” it was the precise moment I realized that Tobias Forge is a goddamned genius.

[@bluebird7146]

🤯 that sounds better anyway

[@FredLootLlama123]

I knew they were trying to lure him back with Sister Imperator but it makes so much more sense know

[@madaemon]

True, it's "bewitch you," but also "be with you" humorously pronounced in a parody R&B style like, "I wanna dance witchu, girl." With Ghost, everything is both serious and literal as well as tongue-in-cheek at the same time.

[@JBBost]

That’s one of the reasons I like them so much. The fact that they can go from “Year Zero” to “Dance Macabre” or “Cirice” to “Kiss the Go-Goat” is part of the appeal. The wrestling gimmick the band has is the cherry on top.

The man who greets them at the door and says "What Party?" was a friend of mine from highschool. We all called him Boo Radley. He passed away after an unsolicited run in with Fentanyl. Please hug your friends and tell them you love them everyday. I come here to hear his voice and see him alive. Thank you Boo for being a shining ray of light and love in a world destined for failure. 🖤

[@GhostifiedGhoulishness]

@DevinSlone There's a website for IMDG that lists the director for the Dance Macabre video as Zev Deans and an actor named Bradley Bailey as playing himself (it lists his name rather than any character in the video). It also lists some other stuff that actor has been in, so if you really wanted to dig into it to be sure, you could check out those other productions and see if it's the one I think it is. If it was Per, he sure got rid of his accent (have seen Per in interviews regarding other bands he was in).

Something that isn't mentioned alot, is the two main actors in this. They're phenomenal, the actual chemistry they have for eachother and the story they deliver without ever once speaking during the song is incredible. When she hits him, and knocks him back to his senses so to speak, the actual look of wonderment, epiphany, remembrance, as if they'd just been woken up from a fake life is phenomenal. These two had more chemistry than most if not all the latest Hollywood films, and they only spoke with looks and actions. Fucking love it. Everything about this song, the music, dancing, cinematography, the cast, everything absolutely slaps.

[@Mr49r1681]

Started hearing about Ghost last year. Didn’t know of their music until now. Pretty retro 80’s metal with Black Sabbath’s goth and some dance harmony if KISS’ Loving You or any Def Lep’s old catalog tracks are poppy. Love the guitar riffs in Ghost’s tracks. Song writing these days are challenging. Ghost has a unique illusion to horror and goth.

[@Babeoftheabyss]

I was an extra in this video and it was pretty fun. Worst part was kneeling on our knees the marble floor. Ouch. Fun to see how this turned out though. Shoutout to my extra coworkers and to the rest of the crew for a fun night of dancing, corpse paint makeup and fajitas.
