Kid Cudi Gives 'Fright Night' The Music Video Treatment

"Fright Night" doesn't hit theaters for another week still, but that doesn't mean you can't sink your teeth into the vampire thriller a little bit early. Kid Cudi's "No One Believes Me" music video made its grand premiere today, a video that's directly pegged to next week's "Fright Night." Not only does Cudi's latest deal with the vampire menace, it also comes courtesy of filmmaker Craig Gillespie, who directed both the video and the movie. Check out what Cudi has to say about his latest in the video below: "I kind of wrote it to the original 'Fright Night' and I wanted to stay true to the plot and story," Cudi told MTV about "No One Believes Me's" origins. "We were inspired to create the song for the movie, which is something I've never done before. It was a challenge. I didn't want it to be a cheesy, clich type of record. I wanted it to be something people could play and absorb and enjoy without thinking this is for the 'Fright Night' movie." But looking at the "No One Believes Me" video, it's impossible to ignore vampire lore as Cudi walks along a darkened street, passing cars and bedrooms painted red with human blood. Indeed, Cudi himself bears his own fangs at multiple points, and the "character" he plays absolutely has an arc. "The video is true to the format of the film. It looks like a mini movie," said the rapper. "I portray kind of a Charlie like character from the movie, the only difference is I'm a vampire and I don't like it too much. I'm fed up with being this monster. I didn't ask to be this monster. I'm seeing all these murderous things happening around me and I'm unfazed and numbed to it." But in reality, Cudi can relate to the fanged monsters: "They stay up all night, and that's meI never go to sleep at all. When I do sleep, it's day time. I'm always working." "I'm not working on killing people," he added with a laugh, "but I'm working!" Tell us what you think in the comments section and on Twitter!
