Echo & The Bunnymen - “The Killing Moon”

There’s only one decade in which the video (for this fantastic song) could have been made.

In evidence:

  • drapey, wavey, windy textile use!
  • mysterious cloaked figure!
  • swinging lamp!
  • face singing directly to the viewer!
  • creative window treatment and shadows thereof!
  • red gels!
  • fog/smoke!
  • ice/snow!

I’ll give a strong B for 80s cliche use.

Canonical items, nevertheless missing:

  • hot black chick temptress
  • flipping over a table in slow motion
  • sweat and sweating
  • mirrors and mirror-breaking
  • jungle cats
  • confetti exploding off skin of snare drum
