Staircase Stomp is a surreal stop-motion music video for the punk and new wave band The Clamor.

Set in a storm-battered cabin, the film follows a lone man haunted by a mysterious woman whose presence blurs the boundary between psychological turmoil and supernatural intrusion. As reality begins to unravel, the cabin becomes the setting for a descent into fractured memory, inner conflict, and self-reckoning.

Blending horror aesthetics with handmade stop-motion animation, Staircase Stomp distorts time and space to explore a mind at odds with itself and a past that refuses to stay buried.
