Today we continue our Witch Images series (in which we explore the music videos of Ghost) with Square Hammer directed by Zev Deans. Framed as a sendup of 1920s expressionist horror, the video finds Papa Emeritus III and the Nameless Ghouls taking in a night at the movies as spooky shenanigans ensue with a dash of humor.

Ghost released Chapter 23 and left fans with many questions such as: "Is Papa IV coming back?", "Is the Skeleta Era over already?", "Is this the end of Ghost, entirely?"

Today we further explore the music videos of Ghost with the latest entry in our Witch Images series, From the Pinnacle to the Pit, directed by Zev Deans. In it, a student is sent to the headmaster's office only to be shown how man can harness the power of a god. The student is turned into an all-powerful man who despises what he's become. This evolves into the creation of the iconic Papa Emeritus III.

Our "Witch Images" series returns as we further explore the music videos of Ghost. Today, we take a look at Cirice directed by Roboshobo.
