SANTA CLARITA—Portions of Bouquet Canyon Blvd were shut down this week while filming of Sam Sylvia’s new feature Blood Disco continued in Santa Clar- ita. The production utilized the street’s hometown feel to portray the fictional town of Bogden, Col- orado where the days seem inno- cent but the nights are filled with terror for the community’s night life. Many local residents lined up around the block in hopes to be chosen as townspeople back- ground or extras as is more commonly known. Some of the business owners at Boquet Can- yon and Valencia Blvd were lucky enough to offer their establish- ments as locations for the shoot.

  • New Terrors, Emerging Trends and the Future of Japanese Horror
    Chapter Six: New Terrors, Emerging Trends and the Future of Japanese Horror Repetition, Innovation, and ‘J-Horror’ Anthologies The following pages constitute not only this book’s final chapter, but its conclusion as well. I adopt this structural and rhetorical manoeuvre for two reasons. Firstly, the arguments advanced in this chapter provide a critical assessment of the state of the horror genre in Japanese cinema at the time of this writing. As a result, this chapter examines not only the rise of a self-reflexive tendency within recent works of Japanese horror film, but also explores how visual and narratological redundancy may compromise the effectiveness of future creations, transforming motifs into clichés and, quite possibly, reducing the tradition’s potential as an avenue for cultural critique and aesthetic intervention. As one might suspect, the promise of quick economic gain – motivated both by the genre’s popularity in Western markets, as well as by the cinematic tradition’s contribution to what James Udden calls a ‘pan-[east-]Asian’ film style (2005: para 5) – inform the fevered perpetuation of predictable shinrei mono eiga (‘ghost films’). Secondly, by examining the emergence of several visually inventive and intellectually sophisticated films by some of Japanese horror cinema’s most accomplished practitioners, this chapter proposes that the creative fires spawned by the explosion of Japanese horror in the 1990s are far from extinguished. As close readings 172 Nightmare Japan of works like Ochiai Masayuki’s Infection (Kansen, 2004), Tsuruta Norio’s Premonition (Yogen, 2004), Shimizu Takashi’s Marebito (2004), and Tsukamoto Shinya’s Vital (2004) variably reveal, the future of Japanese horror cinema may be very bright indeed.

The traditional reading of horror films focuses primarily on the negative treatment of women. However, there are some moments of resistance that allow for a strong female representation. As the horror film is a genre that targets primarily the youth market, some of these women step beyond the traditional cannon fodder and emerge as feminist role models. Over time the ways and means by which women stepped out of the shadows in the horror genre changed. These changes can in part be traced to the larger societal movements of their era, including Second and Third Wave Feminism.

  • The Terror Tale: Urban Legends and the Slasher Film Mikel J
    The Terror Tale: Urban Legends and the Slasher Film Mikel J. Koven, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK Mark Kermode begins his documentary film about the slasher genre, Scream and Scream Again: A History of the Slasher Film (Andrew Abbott and Russell Leven, 2000), with a comparison between the slasher film and the urban legend known as "The Hook," in which a psychotic killer, with a hook for a hand, menaces a young couple, parked on Lovers' Lane. According to Kermode, "The Hook" works as a morality archetype for the entire slasher phenomenon: the young couple are threatened specifically because they have strayed from the moral path (by engaging in sexual activity), but are ultimately saved from certain death because their adolescent sexuality did not get the better of them (see Appendix One). Within this documentary film, and following Kermode's introduction, is a montage retelling of this legend by a variety of horror movie filmmakers including Wes Craven, William Lustig, Sean Cunningham, John McNaughton, and Tobe Hooper; each filmmaker relates a sentence or two of the story. Kermode concludes this sequence by noting that "The Hook" had a direct influence on slasher films like Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978), when fused with previous films about psychotic killers like Black Christmas (Bob Clark, 1974). But it is a single comment by Hooper, the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974), which got me thinking directly about the connection between the slasher film and urban legends: Hooper notes that the enduring power of both these films and these legends is their "close call with death." In many urban legends, as well as films, about psycho killers, the protagonists survive; they met death (consciously or unawares as in the case of "The Hook") and lived to tell about it.

A major change occurs in the 1960s when humans become the monster, reflecting the violence and social upheaval in the United States during that decade. As America continues to change in the coming decades, the human monster undergoes multiple transformations. First is the lone psychopath, popular during the 1960s and seen in films such as Psycho (1960) and Homicidal (1961).

Britt Rhuart “A Blade in the Dark: Translating the Giallo Killer into the Slasher” The field of translation studies is diverse and far reaching. There is the most common field of study, which is the literal translation of one language to another. There is quite a bit there to study as much can get lost in translation, both spoken and via text. In film and media, this field largely surrounds dubbing and subtitles. However, by no means is this the only field of translation studies. There is also the field of studying remakes, such as Japan’s Ringu (Hideo Nakata, 1998) to the American The Ring (Gore Verbanski, 2002). Beyond that, there is the study of translating genre. In her article, “Genre, Translation, and Transnational Cinema: Kim Jee- woon's The Good, the Bad, the Weird,” author Michelle Cho writes on translating the Spaghetti Western to the Korean “Kimchi” Western argues this is translation of a culture (Cho, 44-68).
