I really like this song a lot and so I was really glad when it got the music video treatment, because P!ATD always knocks out of the park video wise. Any other band or artist would've been content to make this video strictly about its subject matter with heavy, hard partying scenes and maybe a simple comedic plotline about a chiffon skirt, but Panic! takes it a step further turning it into a light-hearted sci-fi/horror romp instead, taking some lines such as "What are these footprints? / They don't look very human like" and some translating them into the video with an image of tentacles.

The choice to shoot the video from a first-person perspective was very clever, and it incorporates a lot of neat scenes into the mix. I love when the action ramps up and the tentacle woman is chasing Brendon around the house; it's always great in horror when your imagination takes over and you can't really see what a monster looks like beyond brief glimpses. I also love the body snatcher aspect, as the tentacle woman takes over Brendon's appearance to continue its feeding the next day. It throwing up with the skull coming out is an hilarious image and a fun twist on the morning hangover.

I always love it when music videos go that extra mile to provide entertainment through limited, clever storytelling, and to me Don't Threaten absolutely fulfills a great concept backed by a great, fun song.
