Denver's Got You Covered Halloween is just a few days away, and whether you're into tricks or treats, Denver has plenty of options, including cemetery crawls, an eight-acre corn maze, or dinner in a former mortuary. If you're up for a drive, it's not too late to get tickets to the annual Shining Ball at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Speaking of scary movies, the Mile High Horror Film Festival recently hosted a weekend of fright nights at the Tivoli Theater, and it reminded us of Halloween slumber parties with Freddy Krueger, Jason, and Michael Myers. We even caught up with some of our favorite old-school horror stars at the festival. Here’s what some of them are up to: Anthony Cecere Then: During his 30-year career as a Hollywood stunt man, Cecere worked on more than 90 films, including classics like Ghostbusters and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. His specialty was fire burns. Now: Cecere retired from Hollywood and now travels the country in his RV. He recently spent two months in Alaska prospecting for gold. Mark Patton (pictured, with fan) Then: Patton beat out Brad Pitt and Matt Damon for the role of Jesse in A Nightmare on Elm Street: 2.

  • Logging Into Horror's Closet
    Logging into Horror’s Closet: Gay Fans, the Horror Film and Online Culture Adam Christopher Scales Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies September 2015 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Harry Benshoff has boldly proclaimed that ‘horror stories and monster movies, perhaps more than any other genre, actively invoke queer readings’ (1997, p. 6). For Benshoff, gay audiences have forged cultural identifications with the counter-hegemonic figure of the ‘monster queer’ who disrupts the heterosexual status quo. However, beyond identification with the monstrous outsider, there is at present little understanding of the interpretations that gay fans mobilise around different forms and features of horror and the cultural connections they establish with other horror fans online. In addressing this gap, this thesis employs a multi-sited netnographic method to study gay horror fandom. This holistic approach seeks to investigate spaces created by and for gay horror fans, in addition to their presence on a mainstream horror site and a gay online forum. In doing so, this study argues that gay fans forge deep emotional connections with horror that links particular textual features to the construction and articulation of their sexual and fannish identities. In developing the concept of ‘emotional capital’ that establishes intersubjective recognition between gay fans, this thesis argues that this capital is destabilised in much larger spaces of fandom where gay fans perform the successful ‘doing of being’ a horror fan (Hills, 2005).

  • A Gay Reception and Narrative Analysis of a Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’S Revenge
    ‘Something is Trying to Get Inside My Body’: A Gay Reception and Narrative Analysis of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge ADAM SCALES, University of East Anglia ABSTRACT The critical understanding of horror film has traditionally been locked into a particular psychoanalytic framework concerning audience composition of the genre, as well as the identity politics operating within (Twitchell 1985; Carroll 1990; Clover 1992; Creed 1993; Grant 1996). Within this work, little attention has been paid to alternative audience demographics, especially gay and sexually non-normative viewers. This is rather surprising considering the horror film, and the monster in particular, has been understood as a material manifestation of queerness, as that which bourgeois ideology cannot accept and must therefore construct as ‘Other’ (Benshoff 1997; Wood 1986; Saunders 1998). As a result, this article looks at a gay online reception of gay audiences of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge (Jack Sholder, 1985). Such a text is important, as it fractures the established formula of the slasher film by introducing a ‘male scream queen’ – a ‘final boy’ named Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton). This article employs Janet Staiger’s (2000) work on reception studies to argue that the strategies and tactics brought by the spectator to the filmic experience are constructed by particular historical circumstances, which in turn, assist in the formation of ‘interpretive communities’. While the introduction of the final boy certainly disrupts fixed points of gendered identification, such features are only part of a holistic approach to understanding the subjective responses of gay audiences to Jesse’s characterisation.

  • Aggression Towards Children in Homoerotic Horror
    Aggression towards children in homoerotic horror Scott Lewis Bachelor of Arts Macquarie University Department of English October 2014 This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Research Abstract My thesis analyses depictions of aggression towards children in homoerotic horror. The texts I consider are Dracula by Bram Stoker, “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James, and the films A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2. I demonstrate that these texts suggest homophobia conditioned the Oscar Wilde statutory rapes committed. My thesis uses a Foucaultian conceptual framework to examine my texts implicit depictions of the discourses and institutions that they suggest construct homosexuals so they engage in violent acts such as child molestation. My methodology entails examination of correlations between my texts and sources of historical context. This approach illuminates my texts‟ subtextual depictions of homosexuality, child molestation and paedophilia, as has my appropriation of techniques and arguments from previous Queer Theory criticism of my texts. Queer Theorists have ignored or only derided violence against children in homoerotic horror without acknowledging that depictions of such acts provide insightful reflections on how homosexuality, homophobia, paedophilia and child molestation have been culturally associated. My analysis of implicit paedophilia has incorporated James Kincaid‟s Foucaultian theorisation of paedophilia. Kincaid argues that paedophilia is a construct that can manifest in illusory forms, an insight that compliments my examination of homoeroticism. I certify that the work in this thesis entitled “Aggression towards children in homoerotic horror” has not previously been submitted for a degree nor has it been submitted as part of requirements for a degree to any other university or institution other than Macquarie University.

  • Thoughts for the Month – June 2010
    Jeff Kirkendall’s Thoughts For The Month Column Thoughts, Opinions, Reviews, Commentary & More! Hello and Welcome! My name is Jeff Kirkendall and I'm an independent filmmaker and actor from the Upstate New York area. This is the section of the Very Scary Productions website where I write about topics related to independent filmmaking, digital video production, acting, movies in general, horror movies in particular, my own indie movies, as well as anything and everything related or in between. I decided to create this commentary page because I find that I often come across things that either interest me, excite me, intrigue me, or maybe just bug me. Any topic related to movies and cinema is fair game, from the most mainstream to the most controversial. For example I'll often read about movie projects that I have a strong interest in or opinion on, for one reason or another. This page gives me a forum to discuss these things. It's all about discussion and furthering understanding of our pop culture. Anyone who has feedback concerning what I have to say here, feel free to contact me (see the contact link at http://www.veryscaryproductions.com/). I'd also like to point out that the following is just my opinion, and everyone is free to agree or disagree with what I have to say. Enjoy, and to all the Indies out there: Keep on Filming! SUBJECT: DVD Horrors Movie Review – Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (documentary) – June 2010 * About the same time the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th hit theaters, Jason Voorhees fans were also treated to the cool DVD documentary His Name Was Jason.

  • 2020 Fargo Film Festival Program
    2020 MARQUEE SPONSORS Member FDIC FARGO Paul & Gisele Bob CRAFT HARRIS This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. 1 In Search of Something New Hello, my name is Emily and I am a cinephile. A movie fanatic. A film nerd. Movies were my first true love. They swept me off my feet at the age of three when I inherited a clamshell-case VHS copy of Disney’s Robin Hood. And oo-de-lally, it has been a glorious affair ever since. But recently, I have noticed a complaint rising from the ranks of the dedicated movie-going community: “Hollywood never makes anything new these days.” Audiences are growing weary of sequels, remakes, and reboots. While I could never tire of watching a Chris (be it Hemsworth, Evans, or Pratt) save the world in a nifty costume, I must agree that the industry is quite comfortable on the path well-trod. A person should only need one hand to count the number of Spider-Mans (Spider-Men?) they’ve seen on the big screen. Emily Beck But fortunately for us, Hollywood is not the alpha and omega of cinema. There are gloriously original FARGO THEATRE voices thriving in film today. For the last 20 years, the Fargo Film Festival team has been on a quest to find Executive Director audaciously authentic storytellers and share their work with our community. With vision, talent, and sacrifice (and probably an Indiegogo campaign), these independent artists bring their dreams to life on the silver screen.
