Released by Panic at the Disco, Say Amen (Saturday Night) 2018 is just one part of a three-part music video trilogy. It’s the prequel to two previous music videos by the band and I’ve got them all here for you to watch in order. You love Brendon Urie just as much as I do and you can’t help it, so read on for a hefty dose of all things Urie.
Maybe a music video anthology short film series has been done before but I’ve never seen it. You can watch all three videos for “Say Amen”, “This Is Gospel”, and “The Emperor’s New Clothes” while we talk about the music and the videos. These three clips lean heavily into the horror genre, and we like that.

Panic at the Disco, Say Amen, and the Horror Trilogy
The plot of the “Say Amen” music video: Brendon finds his flat ascended upon by masked assassins. He holds the key to another world and has his powers to attend to. When his date turns up as scheduled, is she happy to see him or does she have other plans?
Review of the Say Amen Music Video
The film clip for “Say Amen” is an awesome mix of action and bloodshed. I’ve watched it many times and I’m still not sick of it. The song is even growing on me. Such a great video short. The lyrics intertwine with the mini-movie and the special effects are cool.

This is Gospel 2013 Reviewed By Panic At the Disco

- Album: Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die.
- Song: Pop | Rock
- Video Short: Action | Thriller

Gospel Music Video
Again with lyrics in “Gospel” 2013 that enhance the video short, the two are connected but in different veins. The lyrics talk about killing the spirit by never letting go and the movie encapsulates Brendon’s inability to escape his prison. This short film is fully focused on Brendan and uses lighting and less is more imagery to tell the story. I like it a lot.

Review of The Emperor’s New Clothes 2015
Album: Panic at the Disco, Death of a Bachelor
- Directed by Daniel Campos this video short film of The Emperors’ New Clothes premiered in October 2015,
- Song: Pop | Rock,
- Video Short: Action movie | Horror movie,
- The cast of The Emperor New Clothes video: Brendon Urie (frontman for Panic At The Disco.)
Plot: A direct continuation of the previous film, in Death Brendon finds himself in hell. He transforms into his true self and dominates his new world.
Music Video Review for The Emperor’s New Clothes
Dark lighting and shadows feature heavily in this Say Amen music video. The lyrics overlap with the story within the film which makes for epic viewing. The Emporer’s New Clothes title adds emphasis to the film as the original tale is about pride and vanity as is the movie and the lyrics.
It is a fitting end to the trilogy that was made before the current release of the prequel.
