The video for "Head Like A Hole" was directed by Eric Zimmerman, who also co-directed "Down In It." The Clay remix is used in place of the album version.
The video contains three differents different sequences, used at different intervals of the song. During the verses, footage of tribal dancers is untercut with rotating cybernetic heads, creating a strobe effect. For the main chorus and instrumental interludes, the band is seen playing in a large cage with wires and magnetic tape at their feet. The sub-chorus features black-and-white footage of Reznor lowering his head into a tub filled with water and bringing it back up. At the end of the video, Reznor's feet have become entangled in the tape and wires as he is lifted off the ground, hung upside-down and writhes in mid-air.
When the video was shown on "Beavis and Butt-Head" in 1993, the Copper mix was used in place of the Clay mix.
