The Horror Film Series
Ihe Museum of Modern Art No. 11 jest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart Saturday, February 6, I965 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art Film Library will present THE HORROR FILM, a series of 20 films, from February 7 through April, 18. Selected by Arthur L. Mayer, the series is planned as a representative sampling, not a comprehensive survey, of the horror genre. The pictures range from the early German fantasies and legends, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (I9I9), NOSFERATU (1922), to the recent Roger Corman-Vincent Price British series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe, represented here by THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (I96IO. Milestones of American horror films, the Universal series in the 1950s, include THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925), FRANKENSTEIN (1951), his BRIDE (l$55), his SON (1929), and THE MUMMY (1953). The resurgence of the horror film in the 1940s, as seen in a series produced by Val Lewton at RR0, is represented by THE CAT PEOPLE (19^), THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (19^4), I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (19*£), and THE BODY SNAT0HER (19^5). Richard Griffith, Director of the Film Library, and Mr. Mayer, in their book, The Movies, state that "In true horror films, the archcriminal becomes the archfiend the first and greatest of whom was undoubtedly Lon Chaney. ...The year Lon Chaney died [1951], his director, Tod Browning,filmed DRACULA and therewith launched the full vogue of horror films. What made DRACULA a turning-point was that it did not attempt to explain away its tale of vampirism and supernatural horrors. -
FILMS FANTASTIC 11 the Journal of the NFFF Film Bureau
FILMS FANTASTIC 11 The Journal of the NFFF Film Bureau This Issue OUTWARD BOUND Films Fantastic number 11 is published by Eric Jamborsky for the N3F Film Bureau. [email protected] The 1920s are often remembered as The Jazz Age, for Flappers, Sheiks, and Vamps. For genre fans Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS and WOMAN IN THE MOON may come to mind. Then we have the films of Lon Chaney, the Man Of A Thousand Faces, such as PHANTOM OF THE OPERA or the now lost LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. This was also the decade where Hugo Gernsback published the first magazine devoted to Science Fiction. But there was another side to the decade. Following the unprecedented number of deaths in the First World War, followed by the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-1919. Of the Flu pandemic, according to the CDC, “The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919. In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.” As a result this decade witnessed the growth of Spiritualism and other doctrines by people who had undergone losses during that period. -

Cardillo 1 Nick Cardillo Dr. Andes Dramatic Theory & Criticism 16 April 2019 At the Mercy of Monsters: Expressionism and Bram Stoker’s Dracula on the Stage Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, is today considered a cornerstone of horror fiction. From its pages sprang one of literature’s most enduring creations and today Count Dracula is known the world over as a figure of not only the printed word, but the silver screen and beyond. Count Dracula has taken on a life of his own; a character so clearly defined in the public consciousness that he is no longer tethered to the Gothic genre alone and who has become a figure of both parody and horrific reverence. Among Dracula’s many forays into mediums of visual art are several plays all of which seek to put Bram Stoker’s characters (if not his entire original story) on the stage and dramatize horror. -

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items. -

Saturday 7th November Bram Stoker Birthday Dinner The Civil Service Club Wednesday 16th December Christmas Party The George, Southwark EDITORIAL What an unprecedented and strange time to write the editorial for Voices. But I hope, as I write this, that you’re all well, and coping with the oddest and scariest year many of us have ever experienced. I also hope that several of the most-used ‘new’ sayings will shortly never be needed again – as in “These strange/difficult/unusual (delete where applicable) times”, “Social distancing”, “Self-isolating”, and so on. I never thought I’d become obsessed with supermarket deliveries either – how sad is that? But we soon became one of “those couples” playing a board game to stay awake past midnight, in order to secure one of the very valuable delivery slots. A good idea in theory, except Mildred Hubble (Millie) our very helpful black cat, thought it hugely entertaining to sit in the middle of the table and bat all the game tiles onto the floor.
