Ava Max's 'Freaking Me Out' Video Is A Spooky, Romantic Halloween Treat

It was practically destiny: On the spookiest day of the year, Ava Max has released the video for her recent single "Freaking Me Out." And keeping in tune with the holiday spirit, the Edgar Daniel-directed clip is packed with gothic yet glamorous imagery that seriously dials up the drama.


As Max sings about a new relationship that has her completely losing her senses, we visualize a literal retelling of the lyrics, which describe a "empty mansion just off the coast" and "rocking chairs moving on their own." That's combined with more conceptual shots of the "Sweet However Psycho" singer chained up in a dungeon; a metaphor for the "uneasy" sort of affection she's feeling. Yet amid all of the scary scenes — like that creepy AF drummer boy! — There really are plenty of soft, romantic moments to remind us that this is, case in point, a love song (and that Max is a undisputed pro at serving looks on looks on looks).


Max's "Freaking Me Out" video comes soon after she transformed into a superhero for the empowering, high-flying "Torn." Both tracks are expected to appear on the 25-year-old's as-yet-unannounced debut album, which she previously told MTV News is "very, very empowering."


And in keeping with the spooky vibes of "Freaking Me Out," the MTV Push artist recently instructed us all about a freaky ghost experience she had — watch the clip below for the whole story.
