Rewind & React wraps up its Halloween One Shot series with a dark, synth-fueled ride through “Sledge” by Dance with the Dead.
Adam and Rob break down this haunting, wordless music video where cursed highways, glowing trunks, and supernatural revenge collide in true horror fashion.
Here’s what we’re covering:
-
The chilling story of a driver who feeds lost souls to his demonic car
-
How the glowing red trunk turns an 80s-inspired synthwave track into a full-blown horror short film
-
The Creepshow, Twilight Zone, and Stephen King influences behind the “cursed object” theme
-
Why ambiguity—never fully explaining the evil—makes this video so effective
-
The classic “road horror” aesthetic: empty highways, fog-drenched diners, and isolation as the ultimate fear
-
A debate on who’s really the villain — the man, the car, or the curse itself
Plus, Adam and Rob close the Halloween season with their final trivia round: Dance with the Dead or Rob Zombie? — where synthwave meets shock rock in a battle of horror-inspired music legends.
With its neon fog, retro beats, and blood-red glow, Sledge delivers the perfect finale to a month of eerie music video storytelling.
