| taking shape developing halloween from script to scream: Going to Pieces Adam Rockoff, 2011-11-04 John Carpenter's Halloween, released on October 25, 1978, marked the beginning of the horror film's most colorful, controversial, and successful offshoot--the slasher film. Loved by fans and reviled by critics for its iconic psychopaths, gory special effects, brainless teenagers in peril, and more than a bit of soft-core sex, the slasher film secured its legacy as a cultural phenomenon and continues to be popular today. This work traces the evolution of the slasher film from 1978 when it was a fledgling genre, through the early 1980s when it was one of the most profitable and prolific genres in Hollywood, on to its decline in popularity around 1986. An introduction provides a brief history of the Grand Guignol, the pre-cinema forerunner of the slasher film, films such as Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and cinematic trends that gave rise to the slasher film. Also explained are the slasher film's characteristics, conventions, and cinematic devices, such as the final girl, the omnipotent killer, the relationship between sex and death, the significant date or setting, and the point-of-view of the killer. The chapters that follow are devoted to the years 1978 through 1986 and analyze significant films from each year. The Toolbox Murders, When a Stranger Calls, the Friday the 13th movies, My Bloody Valentine, The Slumber Party Massacre, Psycho II, and April Fool's Day are among those analyzed. The late 90s resurrection of slasher films, as seen in Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, is also explored, as well as the future direction of slasher films. |

| taking shape developing halloween from script to scream: A Taste of Power Elaine Brown, 1993-12-01 Profound, funny ... wild and moving ... heartbreaking accounts of a lonely black childhood.... Brown sees racial oppression in national and global context; every political word she writes pounds home a lesson about commerce, money, racism, communism, you name it ... A glowing achievement.” —Los Angeles Times Elaine Brown assumed her role as the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party with these words: “I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, Comrade?” It was August 1974. From a small Oakland-based cell, the Panthers had grown to become a revolutionary national organization, mobilizing black communities and white supporters across the country—but relentlessly targeted by the police and the FBI, and increasingly riven by violence and strife within. How Brown came to a position of power over this paramilitary, male-dominated organization, and what she did with that power, is a riveting, unsparing account of self-discovery. Brown’s story begins with growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in Philadelphia and attending a predominantly white school, where she first sensed what it meant to be black, female, and poor in America. She describes her political awakening during the bohemian years of her adolescence, and her time as a foot soldier for the Panthers, who seemed to hold the promise of redemption. And she tells of her ascent into the upper echelons of Panther leadership: her tumultuous relationship with the charismatic Huey Newton, who would become her lover and her nemesis; her experience with the male power rituals that would sow the seeds of the party's demise; and the scars that she both suffered and inflicted in that era’s paradigm-shifting clashes of sex and power. Stunning, lyrical, and acute, this is the indelible testimony of a black woman’s battle to define herself. |

She confronts questions that are at the center of the current debate: Does an interactive story demand too much from readers? Does the concept of readerly choice destroy the author's vision? Does interactivity turn reading fiction from play into work - too much work? Will hypertext fiction overtake the novel as a form of art or entertainment?

| taking shape developing halloween from script to scream: Темные фигуры. Социально-философский анализ фильмов Джона Карпентера Евгений Дегтярев, 2023-08-20 Книга представляет собой первую попытку социально-философского осмысления кинематографа Джона Карпентера на русском языке. «Хэллоуин», «Нечто», «Чужие среди нас» и многие другие картины культового режиссера давно считаются классикой и традиционно привлекают внимание исследователей кино. Однако даже на Западе они нечасто становятся предметом системной рефлексии с применением последовательной научной методологии. Обращаясь к концепции «политического бессознательного» Фредрика Джеймисона, Евгений Дегтярев утверждает, что фильмы Карпентера транслируют скрытое даже от самого режиссера идеологическое содержание. По мнению Дегтярева, анализ этого содержания и социально-исторического контекста, в котором оно возникло, поможет лучше понять смысл отдельных фильмов мастера ужасов и значимость его наследия для популярной культуры в целом.Монография несомненно привлечет внимание как специалистов – киноведов, культурологов и философов, так и самого широкого круга читателей, интересующихся современным кинематографом и массовой культурой.В формате PDF A4 сохранён издательский дизайн. |
