With the pandemic still trekking on, it’s important to keep yourself safe during the spooky season. Taking precautions, like washing your hands and wearing masks, will ensure you stay healthy and well. Many people are debating whether Halloween should be cancelled due to COVID-19. Corporations and businesses that rely on the holiday are hoping to keep the customs alive. Candy manufacturers, costume designers, and even the movie industry all look to Halloween as their big boom in business. The cancellation of Halloween will also impact the kids that see the day as a joy. In an interview with The New York Times, Dr. Gosh said, “I think completely taking away Halloween could be detrimental to some of the mental health issues that kids are facing right now.” Halloween is an outlet for kids to express their creativity and have some fun. This Halloween, the Centers for Disease Control recommend trick-or-treating be minimized and controlled. Wearing masks, gloves, and bringing hand sanitizer is the safest way to still go out, as well as staying six feet apart from other goers and setting candy bags outside to grab quickly. Washing your hands before and after handling treats is always a good idea. If trick-or-treating isn’t your jam, there are other activities you can do such as carving pumpkins. The guidelines of the CDC say pumpkin carving should be held outdoors if possible and should only be done with close friends and family. Hosting a backyard movie night with close friends is also a great alternative to going out. One thing that should be avoided is parties, but if they’re held, hosting them outdoors with social distancing regulations is a must. Large crowds make it easier to spread COVID-19 and sharing the same air isn’t a benefit. If parties are held indoors, keeping steady ventilation by opening windows and doors will help lessen the potential spread. It wasn’t anticipated that all of this would go down at the beginning of the decade, but even through tough times, we still must traverse onward. The pandemic might restrict some things, but it won’t hold our spirits back. Get out there and stay safe. GHS NEWSPAPER | page 02 GHS NEWSPAPER | page 03 TOP FIVE SCARY MOVIES By: Lexi Anderson A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street really makes you want to sleep with one eye open. His incredibly creative concept of a killer that hunts you in your dreams turns the movie into a chilling mind game. It’s also super scary because hey, everyone has to sleep at some point, right? The combination of the visual appearance of Freddy Krueger, the music he chose to incorporate, and the production as a whole makes for a creepy movie. Scream (1996) Scream is one of my favorite movies of all time, which is why I had to include it on this list. First of all, it’s a 90s movie, which I love. Though this movie is definitely scary, it’s one of Wes Craven’s more lighthearted films. Craven inserts a ton of comedic lines and clever references, while still staying true to the horror genre with just the right amount of thrilling scenes. With interesting characters and plenty of twists and turns, this movie will definitely make you scream. Silence of the Lambs (1991) Some people would argue that Silence of the Lambs isn’t a horror movie, but I would definitely classify it as one. Though it’s not your typical slasher film, the psychological aspect of the movie makes it pretty terrifying. Having a mindless killer chase you around with a chainsaw is one thing, but this movie introduces Hannibal Lecter, a killer who’s actually incredibly intelligent. The movie is effective with the scare factor, but will also definitely make you think. Halloween (1978) I love this movie. Because it set the bar for the slasher genre, it’s pretty simple but still really effective as a movie. It’s super cheesy at times, which honestly makes it entertaining in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely very thrilling at times, but some of the things that were meant to be creepy in the first place are honestly pretty funny to watch now like the music that plays whenever Jamie Lee Curtis’ character spots killer Micheal Myers. It’s still one of my favorites and because it’s such a classic, you definitely need to watch it if you haven’t already. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) I honestly don’t even know how to unpack this one because it’s just so good for so many reasons. First of all, the cinematography is disturbing and really puts you directly into the horrors of the movie, plus Marilyn Burns’ performance as Sally is strong and convincing. Because The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fairly short film at 90 minutes, the movie doesn’t waste time. It’s pretty suspenseful from beginning to end. The killer, Leatherface, is super creepy and the fact his character is based on a real killer makes him even more terrifying. There’s such a fantastic mix of interesting things that get you to think balanced by traditional horror movie characteristics which makes it a well-rounded scary movie and earns it the #1 spot on this list. GHS NEWSPAPER | page 03 LALSAT SMTI NMUINTUE TCEO HSATLULMOEW IDEEEANS COSTUME IDEAS By: Mina Funaba-O'Brien & Katie Sanow Halloween is just around the corner.

The show will feature almost twenty acts showcasing a variety of talents, including vocalists, musicians, and an original short film. As always, the teachers Mrs. Kaaren Rogers, Mr. Chris Johnson, and Mrs. Virginia Beecher have been working hard to make the show this year the best it can be, despite restrictions due to COVID-19. Auditions for the variety show were held in early September. “We like students to be prepared, to have some sort of vision they can relate to us as far as what they want their overall act to look like…” said Rogers, “...and we look for the variety in ‘Variety.’” About the same number of students are hoping to be involved this year as in previous years. However, there will be no group opening number, which is traditionally the largest act of the show in which anyone can participate. The opening number is just one aspect of the show that will be changed due to safety reasons. Instead of being performed live to an audience, the show will be live-streamed.

Introduction Growing up I have seen many films, but one film has always stood out for me: Corpse Bride (2005). As soon as we got the DVD of this film, I must have watched it at least 20 times. This film marked the start of my love for Tim Burton films and music by Danny Elfman. After Corpse Bride I have seen many other films by Tim Burton. What has always intrigued me about his films, is that the storylines are quite dark and often use dark colours. This insinuates that Burton’s films could be horror films,1 but this is not always the case. The question this raises is to what extent the music in his films features horror elements. The main question in this thesis is: To what extent does the music of Danny Elfman in films by Tim Burton express fright? In this thesis I am focusing on the music itself, because I want to find out whether it is obvious from the music alone that it is frightening or not.

  • Transmediating Tim Burton's Gotham City
    Transmediating Tim Burton’s Gotham City: Brand Convergence, Child Audiences, and Batman: The Animated Series MATTHEW FREEMAN, University of Nottingham ABSTRACT During the early 1990s, Batman, a highly valued media franchise, was an ever-expanding phenomenon, with franchise owner Warner Bros. having reinvigorated the property with Batman (Tim Burton, 1989). This article will examine the subsequent six-year period of its franchise production, using Batman as a case study for exploring the ways in which distinct versions of a fictional character – each constructed under different creative contexts with differing artistic sensibilities, aimed at varying groups of audiences across media – became the combined products of brand convergence across each media iteration, a concept that was crucial to the transmediality of Batman as both commercial brand and fictional storyworld. KEYWORDS Transmedia storytelling, media branding, franchise, merchandise, superhero characters. Introduction William Uricchio rightly acknowledges that ‘Gotham City as a brand is a highly valued asset not only of the Batman franchise, but of the larger corporate entities of DC Comics and Warner Bros’ (2010, 119). During the early 1990s, this Batman brand was an ever-expanding phenomenon, with franchise owner Warner Bros. having reinvigorated the property with Batman (Tim Burton, 1989). Batman Returns (Tim Burton, 1992), its sequel, was soon in development, and Warner Bros. would complement its theatrical release with a multitude of products in and across other media. Alongside the film was a series of video games, comic books and tie-in merchandise, each simultaneously promoting both Burton’s blockbuster film and the character’s latest television outing, Batman: The Animated Series (Warner Bros.

  • Fantasies of Death and Beyond
    Death at the Movies: Hollywood’s Guide to the Hereafter Fantasies of Death and Beyond Anything existing beyond the physical fact of death can be imagined and described only in the relative terms of human thought and language. “Afterlife” movies reveal such projections as the product of the film maker’s (and viewer’s) ideas, memories, reflections, dreams, and fantasies. The depiction of that curious in-between space between death and what is unknown, designated in the new Quest Books release, Death at the Movies as "transit,” has been referred to by Tibetan Buddhists for over two thousand years as the “bardo”, a state of the soul between death and rebirth. Movie bardos can range from sentimentally charming and delightful to chillingly frightening and grim. Good Hollywood entertainment! Enjoy them. Learn from them. Distinguish them from the real bardo. At times, they are the same. For over a hundred years, Hollywood has both shaped and reflected our culture’s deepest desires, fears and beliefs. That the popular medium of motion pictures, from the beginning, embodied and projected to the public commonly held beliefs, hopes and anxieties about death, the afterlife, and what lies between was brilliantly illustrated in the primarily unconscious projections of those beliefs via a body of fantasy films during the 1930s and early 40s, beginning with the film Outward Bound (1930). The film set a precedent for realistic depiction of the afterlife, devoid of fleecy clouds and heavenly choirs, suggesting rather that the condition of being dead looks and feels pretty much like our everyday lives and that the immediate problem is how to awaken to our true circumstances before we make our situation even worse.

Beard Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2012 Title: Horror Begins at Home: Family Trauma in Paranormal Reality TV This dissertation argues that paranormal reality television is a form of what some have referred to as “trauma television,” a site of struggle between meanings of family and the violence often found in the hegemonic nuclear family ideal. Programs such as A Haunting and Paranormal State articulate family violence and trauma through a paranormal presence in the heteronormative family home, working to make strange and unfamiliar the domestic and familial milieus in which their episodes take place.
