So I just learned that "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was originally written to be about vampires in love for a musical version of Nosferatu.

And I feel like it explains so much about this music video...

EDIT: Please see the comments, the origins of the song may not be true, though the song was later used in another vampire musical and it still kind of makes sense.

Also, how I learned this fact:

For context: The vampire boys from The Lost Boys musical credited 2002's Dance of the Vampires (originally Tanz der Vampire) as the first vampire Broadway musical, which featured the song, reused by writer Jim Steinman when the Nosferatu project never materialized.

Miscast fans: Do we think this rivals the Gavin Creel-Aaron Tveit duets of yesteryear or no?

LJ Benet’s facial expressions in the background were honestly one of the highlights of Miscast for me this year.

A lot of entitled shippers throw around the term "queer-baiting" nowadays, but I fear that whatever tf they're doing with David & Michael in The Lost Boys musical is actually it. Right down to having their actors sing "TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART" to each other at Miscast.

They know what they're doing.

Miscast Gala was a couple nights ago & I missed it because I was fighting The Curse again, so now I'm skipping through everything and finding the parts where Raúl is present & I'm salivating foolishly all over my laptop.
