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.

Rewind & React keeps the Halloween spirit going with one of the most stylishly spooky videos of the 2000s — “Heads Will Roll” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Adam and Rob break down this blood-splattered dance party that blends horror, humor, and glitter into one unforgettable fever dream.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The disco-dancing werewolf that’s part Michael Jackson tribute, part B-movie chaos

• How the glowing stage floor, sequined jacket, and hat pay homage to Michael Jackson’s legendary Billie Jean performance

• The wild use of confetti instead of blood — and why it makes the violence feel both playful and surreal

• Director Richard Ayoade’s clever mix of absurdity and art, and how it fits his signature offbeat style

• The subtle commentary on art, performance, and creation — why the band keeps “playing” even as chaos unfolds

• How the synth-heavy soundtrack and 80s horror aesthetics tie back to the Thriller era

Plus, Adam and Rob play a special Halloween trivia round: Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Talking Heads?—where disco jackets, big suits, and synthwave confusion collide.

From red confetti to glowing drums, this episode celebrates the perfect balance of style, satire, and scream-worthy fun.
