Trivia

This album is commonly mistaken for the unreleased album Super Diorama Theater.

The song "The Ravines of Falsehood" is an expansion of the tracks "Slaughter Zone Entrance" and "Slaughter Zone Exit" from Bucketheadland 2.[citation needed]

The album shares its name with the alternative title to the 1977 horror film Last House on Dead End Street.

The song "Woods of Suicides" is likely a reference to the comic book series The Sandman, in which the Woods of Suicides are an area in Hell. Artist Dave McKean, who worked with Buckethead on Monsters & Robots in 1999 drew early sketches for The Sandman. The area in Sandman was itself a reference to Dante's Inferno.

The two songs "Spokes for the Wheel of Torment" and "Beaten with Sledges" are commonly mistaken for the other because of a mistaken tag circulating around fans. This comes from a Torrent which mislabels all but two of the songs of the album.[citation needed]

"Spokes for the Wheel of Torment"

"Arc of the Pendulum"

"Spokes for the Wheel of Torment" is the second song from the album and one of a few that have a music video (the other were "The Ballad of Buckethead" from the album Monsters and Robots, "We Are One" from Buckethead's 2005 album Enter the Chicken, "Pyrrhic Victory" by Thanatopsis, and "Viva Voltron", for the animated series Voltron).

Music Video

Stylized image of Buckethead in the song's video clip

The "Tree Man" from Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights triptych

The music video was directed by Syd Garon and Eric Henry featuring additional artwork by long time Buckethead collaborator Bryan "Frankenseuss" Theiss. The video is based on the famous triptychs by Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights, The Last Judgement, the Paradise and Hell, and The Temptation of St. Anthony.

The music video starts showing a place that looks like hell where Buckethead has a lute and is carried by a flying beast which releases him. Buckethead ends in the hands of the "Prince of Hell" from the The Garden of Earthly Delights triptych.

Buckethead gets eaten by the creature and his head, the lute and the two arms fall, getting themselves stuck on a tree where Buckethead starts to play a part of the song. While he plays, a lot of people getting killed are shown in several ways and a bird is picking body parts. Then the "Tree Man" from the same triptych is shown and the camera changes to the upper part of the triptych where all is on fire.

Buckethead keeps playing and when the song finishes the screen goes black and the credits appear showing the triptychs by Hieronymus Bosch. After the credits the camera pulls to show the credits were on a circular shape. During this time, parts of the song "Traveling Morgue" from the same album are played. The screen goes black again and the words "Beware, Beware, God Sees" appear.

The clip was shown at some film festivals around the world, such as the Sydney Film Festival, amongst others.

The music video has been officially made available in 2006, as part of the Anxious Animation DVD release as well as Buckethead's own video compilation Secret Recipe.
