John C. Reilly Const. Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King It is based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. The plot focuses on the strained relationship between a mother and her daughter, largely told through flashbacksafter her daughter arrives to her remote hometown on a Maine island where her mother has been accused of murdering the elderly woman for whom she cared. Kathy Bates stated in a Dolores Claiborne interview that her performance as the titular Dolores was her favorite performance she had ever given. Dolores has a struggle with her elderly, paralyzed employer, Dolores Claiborne Donovan, in her mansion. Vera falls down the staircase and Dolores ransacks the kitchen. She is Dolores Claiborne by a mailman, who sees her standing over Vera with a rolling pinapparently intending to kill her. Vera dies and the police begin a murder investigation. Dolores' daughter, Selena St. George, is a successful journalist, living in New York City, who battles depression and substance abuse. Dolores Claiborne arrives in town Dolores Claiborne support her mother, despite her own doubts about Dolores' innocence. Dolores insists she did not kill her employer. Selena finds little sympathy for Dolores, as the entire town believes she murdered her husband, Joe St. George, almost 20 years earlier. Some of Dolores Claiborne town's inhabitants harass her by vandalizing her home, taunting her in the street, and driving Dolores Claiborne her house and screaming at her. Detective John Mackey, who was the chief detective in her husband's murder case, is determined to put Dolores away for life. Selena also believes Dolores killed her father, and has Dolores Claiborne spoken to her mother in over a decade. InJoe was an abusive alcoholicand one night Dolores Dolores Claiborne threatened to kill him if he ever Dolores Claiborne her again. Selena, then 13 years old, Dolores Claiborne unaware her mother was being abused. Dolores went to work as a housemaid for millionaire Vera Donovan to save money to pay for Selena's education. Dolores went to the bank to withdraw her money so Selena and she could flee Joe's abuse. The plan was abandoned, however, when Dolores discovered that Joe had stolen the money from Selena's savings account. Dolores says Vera threw herself down the staircase and begged Dolores to put her out of her misery. Mackey refuses Dolores Claiborne believe her, and reveals that Vera has left her entire fortune to Dolores. Mackey informs them the will is eight years old, which nearly convinces Selena her mother Dolores Claiborne guilty. Dolores eventually tells Selena that before he died, Dolores realized Joe was sexually abusing Selena when he gave her an heirloom locket. Selena has always furiously denied any abuse, and after a fierce argument, she storms out, leaving Dolores to fend for herself. Back inDolores broke down and confessed Joe's abuses to Vera, who remained characteristically cold until Dolores mentioned that he was molesting Selena. Turning unusually sympathetic, Vera implied she killed her own late, unfaithful husband, Jack, and engineered it to look like an accident. Vera's confession formed a bond between the two women and convinced Dolores to take control of her situation. As a total solar eclipse approached, Dolores Dolores Claiborne pointedly given the rest of the day off by Vera. Dolores and Selena had Dolores Claiborne argument about Dolores' suspicions regarding Joe's sexual abuse. Selena fled home Dolores Claiborne the weekend to work at a hotel, where guests had flocked for the eclipse. Joe soon returned from working on a fishing boat, and Dolores offered him a bottle of Scotch to celebrate the eclipse. After Joe got drunk, Dolores revealed she knew he stole from Selena's account and molested his own daughter, then provoked him into attacking her and falling down an old well, leaving Dolores Claiborne to die as he plunges to the stone bottom. Selena hears this entire story on a tape left for her by Dolores, who had foreseen her departure. While on the ferry, Selena suddenly uncovers a repressed memory of her father Dolores Claiborne her to give him a handjob. Realizing everything, Selena rushes back to Dolores as she is attending the coroner's inquest. As Mackey makes a case to be sent to a grand jury in an attempt to indict Dolores for murder, Selena arrives and tells him he has no admissible evidence, Dolores Claiborne is only doing this because of his personal vendetta against Dolores, and that despite an often stormy relationship, Vera and Dolores loved each other. Realizing that Dolores Claiborne case would likely end with either a dismissal Dolores Claiborne acquittal, Mackey reluctantly drops the charges. Dolores and Selena reconcile on the ferry wharf before Selena returns to New York.

    -^---'^ vfr . —1{^ i W:' .— » j«^,.. • >-«i j/^-^j\.V. > J^X^ MONSTRUM: THE VAMPIRE IN THE DETECTIVE STORY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POPULAR CULTURE OF BROCK UNIVERSITY ST. CATHARINES, ONTARIO IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Caroline Stikkelbroeck May 2007 © Caroline Stikkelbroeck For Chris and Jake, with love and thanks. I couldn't have done it without you guys. My sincere thanks to Professor Jeanette Sloniowski, thesis advisor extraordinaire, and her partner in crime, Professor Marilyn Rose, for the ongoing support and encouragement. ABSTRACT My approach to the vampire detective highlights its connections to the private detective's story and reveals the monstrous investigators' debt to early feminist forms of detection ~ specifically in their reformation of the 'other' and of traditional forms of power and authority. Seen in this light the movement of horror's imaginary 'other' into the rational world of detection can be seen as not an abrupt breach of detection's realist conventions, but an almost seamless transition into symbolic spaces that point to the detective's primary function ~ to make sense of the senseless. It is in this light that I explore the monster that is a detective as a symbol that is also a sense-maker, and a quintessential postmodern figure. I argue that the distinctions between monsters and 'others', and between popular narratives and postmodern religion have faded, culminating in a character that can not only model 'otherness' as an exemplary condition, but also provide strategies for modeling the form of active postmodern subjectivity that postmodern theorist Jim Collins' (1989) conceives of as heretical activity.

Matt Reeves) USA 2007 Paramount Home Entertainment Diary of the Dead (Dir. George A. Romero) USA 2007 Optimum Home Entertainment [Rec] (Dir. Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza) S pain 2007 Odeon Sky Filmworks In 1965, at the height of the Cold War, Susan Sontag declared in her famous essay ‘The Imagination of Disaster’ that the world had entered an “age of extremity” in which it had become clear that from now until the end of human history, every person on earth would “spend his individual life under the threat not only of individual death, which is certain, but of something almost insupportable psychologically – collective incineration which could come at any time”. Sontag went on to claim that narratives in which this fate was dramatised for the mass audience in fantastical form – like the monster movies of the 1950s – helped society deal with this stress by distracting people from their fate and normalising what was psychologically unbearable: a kind of vaccination of the imagination, if you will. If this is the case, then Cloverfield, in which Manhattan is destroyed by an immensely powerful sea monster, George A. Romero’s latest zombie movie, Diary of the Dead, and claustrophobic Spanish hit [Rec] are not so much pre­emptive vaccinations against probable catastrophe, but intermittently powerful, if flawed, reminders of actual calamity. In all three films some of the most destabilising events and anxieties of the past decade – including 9/11 (and the fear of terrorist attacks striking at the heart of American and European cities), Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Tsunami, and the SARS virus– are reconfigured as genre­based mass market entertainment.

  • Critical Essays on Horror Comic Books
    H-NEAsia Red Ink: Critical Essays on Horror Comic Books Discussion published by Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns on Friday, August 7, 2020 Type: Call for Publications Date: November 15, 2020 Location: United States Subject Fields: Art, Art History & Visual Studies, Popular Culture Studies, Literature, Film and Film History CFP for Red Ink: Critical Essays on Horror Comic Books Deadline for Proposals: Nov. 15, 2020 Full name/name of organization: Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns (Universidad de Buenos Aires) and John Darowski (University of Louisville) Contact email: [email protected] Horror comic books are deeply embedded within comic book culture. Publishers such as EC Comics in the fifties to Warren Publishing in the seventies to Vertigo in nineties created titles that frequently challenged social norms and constructs. The general acclaim that accompanied Image Comics’ The Walking Dead kickstarted a massive production of new horror comics which are obtaining critical success and good sales with more variety and genre mixing than ever before. Further, horror comics have become the sizable source of film and TV adaptations. Still, horror comic books lack scholarship. Most critical texts trace the history of the horror comic book. What is missing is a closer reading on the different runs, mini-series, and/or particular comics. The editors of Red Ink are seeking abstracts for essays are seeking abstracts for essays that could be included in an upcoming collection. Essays should focus on particular titles or storylines rather than the history of the genre. Submissions may address any horror comic book from any era, including global comics, as well as close readings of audiovisual adaptations.
