Panic! at the Disco fans are feeling the Halloween spirit after the band released the music video for the group’s new single, “Emperor’s New Clothes.”

The video, released on Oct. 21, features lead singer Brendon Urie falling into a hell-like place and turning into a demon after escaping from the music video for the single, “This is Gospel.”

The video featured Urie by himself, with band member Dallon Weekes missing from the action.

It seems to be a recurring theme lately, as Urie is the only one featured in all of their latest music videos since Weekes is now a touring-only member.

“Thinking about where I started — I joined as the last member of the band before we started touring and got signed. Now I’m last man standing. But to me, I love it so much. I love this band. I love everything about it — touring, songwriting. So for me it’s never been a question of stopping or letting go of it all because I love it too much,” Urie said during an interview with Billboard.

The video is also one of the band’s best to date and is frankly, really creepy.

It goes very well with the dance-rock themed song which has also been a recurring theme for all the songs released from the band’s fifth studio album.

Urie has gotten much better at performing in music videos since the band’s start and seems to feel more comfortable in the heavy makeup and costume for this video, which is a first for the band.

The release of the song and music video were followed by the announcement that its new album, “Death of a Bachelor,” will be released on Jan. 15, 2016.

Urie describes the album as a new beginning, writing on the official Facebook page that “This album is me. Running to the piano. Building a drum kit. Strumming a guitar. Some things never change.”

The new album is available for pre-order on iTunes and the music video can be found on YouTube where it has amassed more than 5 million views since its release on Oct. 21.
