In the music video for Wicked Game H.I.M follow the conventions more strictly than in Rob Zombies Living dead girl E.g the whole band can be seen in wicked game and the video is performance and narrative whereas in living dead girl only Rob Zombie can be seen and the video is a homage to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. There are similarities in both H.I.M's Wicked Game and Rob Zombies Living Dead Girl both are dark in lighting and nature with the imagery being
dark and satanic at times both videos have moments that can be perceived as humorous. both videos have the lead singer singing straight to the camera and the audience, both videos have a narrative and story.
in conclusion both videos follow the general conventions of metal and both have their differences. most metal videos seem to have these main points: singing directly to camera, dark often satanic imagery, the whole band preforming at some point in the video, humorous moments and dark dank colours.
