Halloween might still be six weeks away, but Ghost rung in the season early with the campy 1920s-style video for "Square Hammer." The clip — which dropped today, September 16th, in conjunction with the release of the Swedish occult-rock powerhouses' new EP, Popestar — sees Papa and the Ghouls head to the theater to catch a movie. Ghost are never ones to take themselves too seriously, and the vintage-horror-themed video is peppered with cheeky humor, as well as reverent nods to cult classics such as Nosferatu and Batman. Watch the video above.
