Cool Horror Videos: Lee Hardcastle’s video for “Tech Noir” by Gunship

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Writer/director/animator Lee Hardcastle, who first came to the attention of many horror fans when his short "T is for Toilet" was chosen to be included in the first THE ABCs OF DEATH, regularly produces claymation shorts that are visually impressive, usually violent, and a lot of fun to watch. His latest work is no exception to that.

Hardcastle has provided the music video for retro synthwave band Gunship's "Tech Noir", the song playing over a claymation trip through '80s nostalgia that's all about the transformative power VHS will have in a post-apocalyptic future. Master of horror John Carpenter provides an opening narration, and over the course of the story Hardcastle creates clay versions of iconic characters like RoboCop, Jason Voorhees, Pinhead, Leatherface, the Xenomorph, He-Man, Rocky, and even a Care Bear.
