About this sound

✦ AI

A clip of Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary, the dark chorus revived by the Wednesday dance trend and used in spooky TikTok edits, dance recreations and Halloween videos.

This is the instantly recognisable chorus of Bloody Mary, with Lady Gaga's layered, almost chant-like vocals rising over a dark, pulsing electronic beat. It sounds elegant and unsettling at the same time, like a gothic dance track built for a slow, dramatic reveal. The rhythm is steady and hypnotic, which makes even a simple movement feel choreographed and a little eerie. Listeners tend to recognise it within a second, especially from the Wednesday dance clips, and it instantly sets a moody, stylish, Halloween-ready tone without needing any explanation.

Bloody Mary first appeared on Lady Gaga's 2011 album Born This Way, but it found a second life more than a decade later when the song was paired with Jenna Ortega's dance as Wednesday Addams in Netflix's Wednesday. Clips of the dance spread rapidly across TikTok in late 2022, turning the older track into a viral sound for gothic edits, costume videos and dance recreations. Its continued use comes from that instantly recognisable association: even without the visuals, the chorus signals dark humour, confidence and a Halloween mood.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the sound just before the reveal or first dance move, and cut on the beat so the movement lands with the chorus. Pair it with dim lighting and a slow zoom, but avoid talking over the vocals or looping it twice in one edit.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Creators recreate the Wednesday dance in costume.
  • Editors use it for spooky Halloween transition videos.
  • Dancers film slow, dramatic choreography to the chorus.
  • Streamers play it when a villain enters the scene.
