Research - Horror in Music

Wolf Alice - You're a Germ

I've chosen to look at the music video for 'You're a Germ' as it is a video that uses traditional Horror themes including Psychos, Zombies, Clowns, etc.
In video, it is set in a cabin-like house in the woods. The story line repeats itself over and over, but each time the characters try to escape the inevitable, and regardless of a new strategy each time to try to escape their fate, something new comes along and they fail. I feel that the message behind the video is that there is a path set out in life and regardless of the choices you make, what's supposed to happen will happen. 
The inspiration I draw from this video is the new take on each traditional horror character type, and their interpretation of their appearances while still making the characters recognisable and also maintain their 'Horror' aspects.
I feel like the main female character is styled deliberately to make the audience sympathise and connect with her and this is something I would like to bring to my Claudia character as a way to give the audience the wrong impression about her character in the series as they later find out she is in fact the antagonist.
