The collaboration: A Spooky ASMR Delight
What happens when two Oscar-winning stars from Wednesday join forces? They create a hilarious ASMR video, perfectly timed for Spooky Season. On Halloween (October 31),Netflix shared a clip on X (formerly Twitter) featuring Lady Gaga and Catherine Zeta-Jones attempting the viral ASMR content style.

The set, reminiscent of the Wednesday aesthetic, featured moody lighting and props like dead roses, a gold candelabra, a black violin, and faux poison. Gaga and Zeta-Jones sat behind a table, whispering into a microphone with the intention of helping viewers relax.
The Script: Dark whispers and Wednesday References
The duo’s approach to ASMR was decidedly unconventional. “I think because this is Wednesday we should say dark words like ‘death,’ ‘coffin,’ ‘cemetery,'” Gaga suggested while rubbing dead rose petals into the microphone. Zeta-jones chimed in with “Pugsley,” referencing Wednesday Addams’ brother in the series. The contrast between the typically soothing nature of ASMR and the morbid suggestions created a comedic effect.
ASMR and its Growing Popularity
Autonomous Sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck. Its often triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, such as whispering, tapping, or slow hand movements. The phenomenon has gained significant traction online, particularly on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, with millions of viewers seeking relaxation and stress relief through ASMR content.
| Platform | Estimated ASMR Viewers (Monthly) |
|---|---|
| YouTube | 75 Million+ |
| TikTok | 40 Million+ |
| Twitch | 15 Million+ |
The appeal of ASMR lies in its ability to induce a calming and meditative state. While scientific research on ASMR is still ongoing, studies suggest it can lower heart rate and increase feelings of well-being. The trend has expanded beyond simple whispering videos to include role-playing scenarios, personal attention simulations, and even ASMR-inspired art and music.
