Fangs at 0:10, coffins at 0:15, a skeleton at 1:24: 10 K-pop music videos to rewatch for Halloween week

Saturday is Halloween. While picking K-pop music videos to play again this week, we set one rule: not videos that are only spooky in mood, but ones where the things Halloween never goes without actually appear on screen. The ten that made it are set out in order of release, from VIXX in 2013 to SUNGHANBIN in 2026, with the minute and second of each scene. Times follow the music videos posted on the artists' or agencies' official channels.

1. VIXX 'Voodoo Doll' (2013)

At 0:12 a cloth doll with X-stitched eyes hangs from a rope, and at 0:22 a hand with black nail polish grips a doll with a red heart sewn onto it. In between, at 0:20, a member stands behind a wire fence with both arms tied with cord and stretched out to the sides, and at 3:53 a white doll with red button eyes hangs on a string and fills the screen. At 0:10 there's a brief shot of blood spreading from where a pin has been stuck in, and the same channel also has a separate 'Clean Ver.' Apple Music

2. Dreamcatcher 'Chase Me' (2017)

At 0:16 a man in a coat walks down a hotel corridor laid with hexagon-patterned carpet, and at 0:18 a '808' room plate comes into view. At 3:09 an axe can be seen on the same carpet. At 3:30 the man looks up at a faded group photo hanging on the wall, with the seven members in light-colored dresses sitting and standing in two rows. A hotel corridor, an axe and an old group photo on the wall all appear in the horror film The Shining (1980), too. Apple Music

3. Red Velvet 'Peek-A-Boo' (2017)

At 0:04 the five members, backs turned, look up at a huge full moon above a rooftop. At 1:18, in a room with guns and an axe hanging on the wall, a member in a white dress holds a newspaper open, then at 1:21 raises a crossbow and takes aim. At 3:41, at the very end of the video, a title card appears with five names, IRENE, SEULGI, WENDY, JOY and YERI, written like an old movie poster. Apple Music

4. ONEUS 'TO BE OR NOT TO BE' (2020)

At 0:44, among giant finger-shaped sculptures, one member sits in a bathtub filled with dark red water. At 2:29 the camera looks straight down into a bathtub of red water, and at 2:49 a black hand with red fingertips touches a member's cheek. At 3:48, as the members press their hands against a white floor, red blood runs from the corners of their mouths. Apple Music

5. PURPLE KISS 'Zombie' (2021)

At 0:43 a horde of zombies in tattered clothes crowds the counter under a 'CHURRO' sign, and at 0:46 a yellow sign reading 'ZOMBIE ZONE' is stuck to the wall behind a member. At 1:24 a skeleton lies on the kitchen counter where the zombies had swarmed. At 3:13 the members stand together in zombie makeup, and one of them holds a pink cake shaped like a brain. Apple Music

6. NCT 127 'Favorite (Vampire)' (2021)

At 0:07 the members lie on a white bed under a red backdrop as if asleep, and at 0:10 one member's mouth opens to reveal fangs. At 0:11 the fangs fill the screen, and at 0:44 two bite marks on another member's neck are shown up close. NCT 127's official channel also has a separate 'Halloween Costume Ver.' video of the same song. Apple Music

7. ONF 'Goosebumps' (2021)

At 0:25 a huge full moon hangs over old buildings lined with lit arched windows, and one member dances on a fog-covered floor. At 0:29 the members are gathered together under that moon. From 0:36, behind the group dance in green smoke, a 'WAR ZONE' neon sign and a skull neon with two crossed bones glow. Apple Music

8. ENHYPEN 'Bite Me' (2023)

At 0:14 seven people dressed in white lie in a circle on a red floor, and from 0:15 they turn, one by one, into black coffins. At 0:17 the coffins float in the sky above a round ruin with a collapsed roof. At 0:41 a member's profile shows in black against a huge red moon, and the photo at the top of this article is the 0:42 shot in front of that moon. Apple Music

9. tripleS 'Girls Never Die' (2024)

At 0:12 black birds fall from the sky around a member standing with high-rise buildings behind. At 0:18 a graveyard with wooden crosses and gravestones appears, and at 2:18 the members, dressed in black, stand in a ring around a pit dug in the graveyard. At 2:21 the camera looks up at the sky from inside the pit. Apple Music

10. SUNGHANBIN 'UNDEAD' (2026)

After falling along a building wall at 1:16, SUNGHANBIN lies collapsed on a pavement strewn with red petals at 1:20, then gets back up at 1:22. At 1:24, with cuts on the cheek, SUNGHANBIN bites down on red petals. Apple Music

We included only one video per group. Red Velvet's unit Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI released 'Monster' in July 2020, and its music video also has a scene at 1:20 of a member sitting surrounded by old dolls, and a moment at 1:48 when one member's face briefly turns into horned devil makeup.
