Travis, Mic, and Josh all have glowing, red eyes and move in staggered motions. While looking through a spacing in the wooden door, Claudio fires an arrow from a compound bow which hits Josh in the chest but barely fazes him.

As his eyes open they are glowing red as well. The video ends with the four band members staggering off through the woods, possibly in search of their next victim.
