What is the origin of Total Eclipse Heart music video?
Bonnie Tyler's music video for the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was inspired by the 1982 film "The Hunger," in which Catherine Deneuve plays a vampire. The video features Tyler as a vampire queen, who is searching for a new vampire to join her ranks. She finds a young man, played by actor Jim Steinman, and lures him into her world of darkness and pleasure.
The music video was directed by Russell Mulcahy, who also directed the music videos for "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. Mulcahy wanted to create a video that was both visually stunning and emotionally powerful, and he succeeded in doing so. The video for "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is considered to be one of the most iconic music videos of all time.
