Memorable Moments In Horror Returns

It's been a while since I've been able to sit down and write anything for the blog, and so I wanted to do a little something to get things rolling again.  May is going to be a very busy month for me personally so I won't have an abundance of time.  That said, I'm going to resurrect a feature I haven't added anything to since 2011!  That's five years folks.  It's one of my favorite features because of its simplicity.

Memorable Moments in Horror started back in November 2009 when I wanted to do a list of my favorite scenes in horror.  There have been a plethora of releases since 2011 and a ton of older films I didn't take anything from also, so we've got a lot to work with.
(You can access all the previous posts by clicking on the icon in the right-hand column of the blog, so you might want to catch up before we start this up again!)
Regardless, I will post several moments each day in May- but will give you a teaser here on the last day in April.  So here we go.....

That's not your daughter.  (Don't Look Now)

What's so funny?  (Evil Dead II)

Someone...or something... is lurking...  (Lake Mungo)

DARK ARTS: The Victorian Paintings Of Amalia Kouvalis

Elysium

~by Marie Robinson

There’s something so beautiful and eerie about Victorian photography. The somber faces, the dark, but elegant dress; you could swear that each mysterious portrait subject had a dark and terrible secret hiding behind their blank stare. And then there’s the undeniable morbid—yet fascination—post-mortem photographs, that is, pictures of people after they have died.

American artist Amalia Kouvalis captures the world we want to see when we look at old Victorian portraits. In the flash of an imaginary camera she captures ghosts, demons, departing souls, and other things that we can only catch a glimpse of out of the corner of our eye.

It is no surprise, then, looking at her world, that she is inspired by “Victorian aesthetics” and silent films, as well as dreams and memories. As a movie-lover and a theatre worker, I have a special appreciate for the fact that she spent her childhood in her father’s movie theatre, and that she now strives to embody the atmosphere of it in her paintings.

Her oil paintings and etchings are like a nightmare you want to revisit over and over again, only if to try and understand it more, or a scene from an old black and white movie that you see before the whole theatre goes black and you realize you aren’t alone.
