Atteniton, Juggalos!
The Insane Clown Posse (ICP) recently released its horror movie0inspired music video "Night of the Chainsaw", the second music video from the duo's" The Mighty Death Pop" album, which debuted at No. 4 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart.
Excerpt from a press release:
In "Night of the Chainsaw", the second music video off The Mighty Death Pop album, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J decided to shy away from controversy, but still wanted to give the music industry and Juggalos exactly what they would expect from a pair of Wicked Clowns – shocking, visual horror with a tiny bit of humor. The "Night of the Chainsaw" video embraces the campy feel of good ole scary movies, having a dark, gritty look, green zombie blood splattering everywhere, and true madness from beginning until end. Along with numerous zombies and the Insane Clowns themselves, Mark Jury stars in the music video as the chainsaw wielding maniac. Juggalos may recognize Mark Jury as he played "Dirty Sanchez" in ICP's 2010 film release Big Money Rustlas. ICP used long time friend of the label, Roy Knyrim of SOTA Productions to shoot and direct the music video, and the final edit was done by Psychopathic Records' in-house video production team, which proved to be a great team effort as the "Night of the Chainsaw" music video ended up being pretty darn devastating!

Are you surprised the publicist used the word "darn"? I am.
As a reminder, the ICP is officially classifed a gang by the SLCPD.
