Ice Nine Kills Nod to ‘Batman’ 1989 With “The Laugh Track” Video: Watch

Leave it up to Ice Nine Kills to make something more boisterous than it already is. I mean that in a good way. Just look at this new bit of visual delight they’ve unleashed unto the world. “The Laugh Track” finds itself just as vibrant and in your face as the source material it’s pulling from.

You’ll certainly recognize frontman Spencer Charnas and co. as one of Jack Nicholson’s most iconic roles: the Joker in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman. Some other familiar faces will cross your screen too, like Matthew Lillard (Scream, Five Nights At Freddy’s, SLC Punk) and Phil Morris (Seinfeld, Smallville, Doom Patrol), as well as recurring collaborator Terry Kiser (Weekend At Bernie’s, Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Weekend At Bernie’s II).

Charnas comments:

“Why be a brooding bat when you can have the last laugh? After all, Jack Nicholson got top billing in Batman ’89. While Michael Keaton’s haunted Bruce Wayne is outstanding, young Spencer was drawn more to the Clown Prince Of Crime. ‘The Laugh Track’ is our homage to Tim Burton’s dark and gorgeous gothic Gotham. Batman ’89 took its comic book material seriously, but it was far from grounded, and never forgot to have fun. It’s the same tightrope we walk in Ice Nine Kills, with broad, maniacal smiles. Terry Kiser returns in the video (although the rumors of Miles’s demise are exaggerated). And it brings a warm human smile to my face to introduce Matthew Lillard and Phil Morris to the INKverse. Like Prince before us, ‘The Laugh Track’ will have you dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.”

Dancing in the pale moonlight, indeed. Enjoy the video below.
