Scream and Scream Again. Film in Art

Scream and Scream Again borrows its’ title from the 1969 horror film where mad scientist Vincent Price creates a super-race of emotionless automatons who take over and commit a number of vampiric murders. These artists are caught in a similar drama where their deconstructive efforts are pitted bravely against the advancement of the hollow but all-pervasive mass-media. And what is horror but a history of popular fears.”The fear provoked by fictional horror is a fear one needs: the price one pays for coming contentedly to terms with a social body based on irrationality and menace”.

Text: Iles Chrissie. cm 22×26; pp. 48; BW ills.; paperback. Publisher: MOMA Museum of Modern Art Oxford, Oxford, 1996.
