The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

  • The 15Th International Gothic Association Conference A
    The 15th International Gothic Association Conference Lewis University, Romeoville, Illinois July 30 - August 2, 2019 Speakers, Abstracts, and Biographies A NICOLE ACETO “Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut”: The Terror of Domestic Femininity in Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House Abstract From the beginning of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, ordinary domestic spaces are inextricably tied with insanity. In describing the setting for her haunted house novel, she makes the audience aware that every part of the house conforms to the ideal of the conservative American home: walls are described as upright, and “doors [are] sensibly shut” (my emphasis). This opening paragraph ensures that the audience visualizes a house much like their own, despite the description of the house as “not sane.” The equation of the story with conventional American families is extended through Jackson’s main character of Eleanor, the obedient daughter, and main antagonist Hugh Crain, the tyrannical patriarch who guards the house and the movement of the heroine within its walls, much like traditional British gothic novels. Using Freud’s theory of the uncanny to explain Eleanor’s relationship with Hill House, as well as Anne Radcliffe’s conception of terror as a stimulating emotion, I will explore the ways in which Eleanor is both drawn to and repelled by Hill House, and, by extension, confinement within traditional domestic roles. This combination of emotions makes her the perfect victim of Hugh Crain’s prisonlike home, eventually entrapping her within its walls. I argue that Jackson is commenting on the restriction of women within domestic roles, and the insanity that ensues when women accept this restriction.

  • Monster Family (2017) Una Famiglia Diventa "Mostruosa" Per Colpa Di Dracula, Ma L'umorismo È Triviale E Scontato
    Monster Family (2017) Una famiglia diventa "mostruosa" per colpa di Dracula, ma l'umorismo è triviale e scontato. Un film di Holger Tappe con Emily Watson, Jason Isaacs, Nick Frost, Jessica Brown Findlay, Celia Imrie, Catherine Tate, Ethan Rouse, Ewan Bailey, Emma Tate, Jessica McDonald. Genere Animazione durata 96 minuti. Produzione Germania 2017. Uscita nelle sale: giovedì 19 ottobre 2017 Quando una maledizione colpisce i Wishbone e li trasforma in mostri, i quattro dovranno unire le forze per riuscire a venirne fuori. Andrea Fornasiero - www.mymovies.it Emma crede di telefonare a un negozio di costumi, ma ha sbagliato numero e si ritrova a parlare con Dracula, che rimane ammaliato dalla sua voce. Per conquistarla decide di servirsi della strega Baba Yaga e fare in modo che trasformi Emma in una vampira. La donna, insieme al marito e ai due figli, viene colpita dalla magia della strega dopo una festa in maschera, ma anche la sua famiglia è trasformata insieme a lei: il padre in un mostro di Frankenstein, la figlia in una mummia e il figlio in un uomo-lupo. Mentre cercano di obbligare la strega a cancellare la maledizione, con l'aiuto di una collega di Emma figlia dei fiori, Dracula usa tutti i suoi poteri per corteggiare la donna, fino a portarla nel suo castello. 'Monster Family' è un film d'animazione 3D dal target dichiaratamente famigliare, dove proprio l'unione degli affetti viene posta al di sopra di tutto e si rivela capace di superare ogni avversità. Questo però accade nel modo più banale possibile, con un umorismo triviale e senza alcuna invenzione che possa conquistare anche un pubblico di teenager o maggiorenni.

It is certainly not exhaustive T in its content listing, and instead represents an easy to read and locate guide to the wealth of potential titles readily available to play in UK cinemas once they reopen in the coming weeks. Highlighted filmed content has been separated into groups, by genre, theme, flavour or audience demographic, which should hopefully aid programme planning and decision making as cinemas get themselves back up to operational speed. With something for everyone, the 450 amassed titles may feature in more than one category, and further content is also likely available upon request and interaction with individual distributors. Each title here has information on running time and certificate, plus any additional format detail. Distributors are also listed for each title, and at the back of the document there is an easy to use, full list of distribution direct sales contacts split by company. This collection of content has been compiled from many of the UK’s distribution companies under the aegis of FDA, and it forms part of the unified sector business recovery planning currently being undertaken by both FDA and UKCA, via the cross-industry body, Cinema First.
