Gaga Is Truly Mother Monster in Tim Burton ‘Dead Dance’ Video

The mostly black and white video begins in a spooky hut somewhere out in a haunted forest. We see Gaga in full cracked porcelain doll makeup, surrounded by what looks like hundreds of creepy old dolls. And in some cases, just doll heads. She looks like a sexier version of Bette Davis in the classic horror film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Now magically animated back to life, the disco dance party starts, and the nightmare fuel dolls spring to life and get their groove on. It’s all very Tim Burton, and we can’t help but wonder if Gaga’s look was also a nod to The Corpse Bride as well, and the old crone from Sleepy Hollow.

The first season of Wednesday famously used a remix of Lady Gaga’s 2011 song “Bloody Mary.” This went viral and helped give the song new life a decade after it was released. So it’s only fitting that Mother Monster would appear in the show herself and create a new song for it. We all know Tim Burton loves to work with the same actors again and again. So who knows? Maybe we’ll see her in a future Tim Burton film now. We’ll take any new Burton/Gaga collaborations we can get.
