Scream

I adore horror films. I also scare easily. It completely eludes me as to why anyone would want to watch horror films if they weren’t terrifying. I’m willing to suspend belief and be scared by even old, corny, silly, and dated horror movies, but the best ones just delight me so much. The scream of Psycho is one of the most iconic horror images, right up there with Dracula in his cape, the unmasking of The Phantom of the Opera, Jessica Harper holding the class plumage while an undead schoolmate comes for her (Suspiria), Rosemary screaming, “You Maniacs!”, Diamien’s smile, Asami with her needles (Audition)… I could keep going, and I’d like to make a series using different monochromatic schemes.
