Christina Ricci is aware of a factor or two about spooking folks because of her iconic position as Wednesday Addams in a pair of Addams Family motion pictures. But the actress has the tables turned on her in the video for Doja Cat‘s single “Demons,” which dropped on Friday (Sept. 1).
In the terrifying visible for the most recent single from Doja’s Scarlet (Sept. 22) album, the Emmy-nominated Yellowjackets star performs a mild-mannered house owner whose bed room is haunted by a razor-clawed Doja Devil. The clip co-directed by Christian Breslauer and the rapper/singer, opens with a picture of the “sold” signal in entrance of Ricci’s new home because the suburban mother tries to get some slumber on a stormy evening.
The solely downside is the terrifying red-eyed, midnight black horned demon crawling (and rapping) on her ceiling, illuminated by a snowy TV display in an homage to a different freaky suburban nightmare basic, Poltergeist. “How my demons look (How your demons)/ Now that my pocket’s full?/ How my demons look/ Now that you b—hes shook? (B—h)/ Yeah, how my demons look/ Now that my pocket’s full?,” Doja raps as she crawls menacingly into mattress with Ricci.
Cut to a bald, bare Doja in a bath overflowing with black water, sweetly rapping about blocking her enemies from her V.I.P. part as two black demon palms attain up out of the water, with one pulling her head again to disclose milky white eyes. The demon get together actually takes off at that time, with two extra hellhounds becoming a member of Doja in the attic for a Beelzebub dance get together.
Ricci reaches for an old-school on-the-shoulder video digital camera to seize footage of Doja typing out the track’s lyrics on a typewriter and carrying a “cash cow” t-shirt in one other homage to The Shining, whereas, inexplicably, surrounded by child goats. And, spoiler alert, it simply will get worse from there.
“Demons” follows in the heels of earlier Scarlet singles “Paint the Town Red” and “Attention.”
