With &#8220;Dark Places: The Haunted House in Film&#8221;, Barry Curtis leads us deep inside these haunted spaces to explore them and the monstrous antagonists who dwell there.<\/p>\n<p>In this wide-ranging and compelling study, Curtis demonstrates how the claustrophobic interiors of haunted spaces in films connect to the dark places&#8217; of the human psyche. He examines diverse topics such as the special effects ranging from crude to state-of-the-art used in movies to evoke supernatural creatures; the structures, projections and architecture of horror movie sets; and, ghosts as symbols of loss, amnesia, injustice and vengeance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dark Places&#8221; also examines the reconfiguration of the haunted house in film as a motel, an apartment, a road or a spaceship, and how these re-imagined spaces thematically connect to Gothic fictions. Curtis draws his examples from numerous iconic films including <a href=\"https:\/\/filmandfurniture.com\/film\/nosferatu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Nosferatu<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/filmandfurniture.com\/film\/psycho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Psycho<\/em><\/a>, <em>The Texas Chain Saw Massacre<\/em>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/filmandfurniture.com\/film\/the-shining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>The Shining<\/em><\/a> as well as lesser-known international works. Japanese horror films and their Hollywood remakes such as <em>Ringu<\/em> and <em>The Ring<\/em>, or <em>Juon<\/em> and <em>The Grudge<\/em> come under particular scrutiny, as he explores Japanese cinema&#8217;s preoccupation with malevolent forces from the past. Whether you love the splatter of blood or prefer to hide under the couch, &#8220;Dark Places&#8221; cuts to the heart of why we are drawn to carnage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark Places: The Haunted House in Film is a wide-ranging and compelling study, where Barry Curtis demonstrates how the claustrophobic interiors of haunted spaces in films connect to the dark places&#8217; of the human psyche.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14840,"template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"product_cat":[1270,847],"product_tag":[1724,1723,1722],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
