<P> On the background and themes of "Snuff", vocalist Corey Taylor said the following: </P> <P> This is the slow one . It's another personal one . Again, not naming names, it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down . At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself . The lyrics are pretty self - explanatory ". </P> <P> It was announced on October 14, 2009 by Roadrunner Records that a music video fit within enough production quality to be considered a short film was to be released for "Snuff", which premiered on December 18, 2009 at 11: 09 PM CST . It was co-directed by Shawn "Clown" Crahan and P.R. Brown, and features Malcolm McDowell and Ashley Laurence of Hellraiser fame . Corey Taylor is seen for the third time in a Slipknot video without his mask (the other two times being: "Dead Memories" and "Before I Forget") and is cross-dressed at the end of the short film . </P> <P> The video is about a man (played by Corey Taylor) who has broken up with his girlfriend, but is truly obsessed with her . The man enters the woman's apartment, smelling things with her scent on it . He then notices on the television a tape that he and the woman had made, and then collapses on to the woman's bed . As she walks out the door, she doesn't notice the man lying on her bed . The man then dives out after her, but she has already gone to visit a neighbor . Going back in, he sits at a table and holds a wine glass that she was drinking from . The glass shatters in his hands and the man goes into a rage, throwing things around and screaming . The video ends with the man cross dressed as his ex and exiting the corridor, revealing it was the man who had exited the apartment and not the woman; the concierge, not seeing the difference, walks back along the corridor whistling the tune to the song . </P>
