Pe 31 octombrie, de Halloween, Netflix a lansat un videoclip cu Lady Gaga și Catherine Zeta-Jones încercând o serie de tehnici ASMR. Cu o recuzită inspirată de serialul "Wednesday" (trandafiri negri, otravă artificială sau craniul unui animal), clipul le prezintă pe cele două în spatele unor microfoane, cu scopul de a-i ajuta pe telespectatori să se relaxeze.

Înainte de a diseca materialul cu Lady Gaga și Catherine Zeta-Jones, să vorbim puțin puțin despre ce înseamnă ASMR. Pentru cei care nu sunt familiarizați cu acest termen, ASMR este prescurtarea pentru Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response și se referă la o senzație plăcută, pe care multe persoane o experimentează când aud anumite sunete (uneori combinate și cu stimuli vizuali). Cele mai comune exemple de stimuli care provoacă această senzație sunt cuvintele șoptite, sunetul produs prin răsfoirea unei cărți sau sunetul produs prin trecerea unghiilor pe anumite materiale.

Artistele au început incursiunea în lumea ASMR cu "decapitarea" unor trandafiri negri și cu șoptirea unor cuvinte rupte din universul Wednesday, precum "moarte", "sicrie", "cimitir", "Pugsley", "Thing", "Gomez" sau "It". Apoi, cele două s-au transpus în atmosfera unei cine romantice și au aprins lumânări negre, în tandem vorbind despre partenerii lor, Michael Douglas și Michael Polansky.

Lady Gaga a menționat că logodnicul ei este din Minnesota, iar Zeta-Jones a răspuns: "Michael al meu e din Hollywood". "Michael al tău e atât de sexy", a glumit Gaga, iar Catherine Zeta-Jones i-a răspuns: "Mi-ar plăcea să-l cunosc pe Michael al tău, sunt sigură că e la fel de sexy ca Michael al meu". La aceste vorbe, Gaga a răspuns: "I-ar plăcea să te cunoască. S-ar putea să nu se mai întoarcă niciodată!"

Printre secvențele care au completat videoclipul s-au numărat atingerea cu o pană a unui craniu de animal, ascuțirea unor cuțite sau experimentarea talentelor muzicale pe o vioară neagră.

Clipul de Halloween în care apar Lady Gaga și Catherine Zeta-Jones a venit la circa o lună de la încheierea celui de-al doilea sezon "Wednesday". Zeta-Jones a revenit în rolul Morticiei Addams, în timp ce Gaga a interpretat-o pe Rosaline Rotwood, o legendară profesoară a Academiei Nevermore. Pe lângă contribuția actoricească, artista a pregătit și o melodie nouă, "The Dead Dance", special pentru acest sezon.
