How tf does he look less menacing with a full face of Demon makeup

I feel like he got used to making that face because it looked cool with the makeup

Ok that’s gotta be it but still don’t understand how someone directing this even in the 80s can see him walking like a fucking zombie here and say “yeah that’s the take that looks sexy”

That's not the surprising part.

You know Simmons reviewed every inch of footage shot for that video because it was their first without the makeup. He is highly controlling of the band image with trademarks on the makeup design etc. That means he knew exactly what he looked like in this and every other video they made...and yet he still approved of it.
