Movie audiences seem drawn, almost compelled, toward tales of the horrific and the repulsive Partly because horror continues to evolve radically--every time the genre is deemed dead, it seems to come up with another twist--it remains one of the most often-dissected genres. Here, author Kendall Phillips selects ten of the most popular and influential horror films--including Dracula, Night of the Living Dead, Halloween, The Silence of the Lambs, and Scream, each of which has become a film landmark and spawned countless imitators, and all having implications that transcend their cinematic influence and achievement. By tracing the production history, contemporary audience response, and lasting cultural influence of each picture, Phillips offers a unique new approach to thinking about popular attraction to horror films, and the ways in which they reflect both cultural and individual fears. Though stylistically and thematically very different, all of these movies have scared millions of eager moviegoers. This book tries to figure out why..

A Whitney Museum of American Art Publication By transforming the traditionally static viewing space into an active participatory field experiments with the moving image dramatically expanded the parameters of modern art in the 1960s and '70s. But due to their ephemeral nature, many such classic installation works, while remembered, have not been widely witnessed. Into the Light accompanies the Whitney Museum of American Art's re-creation of 19 landmark film, video, and slide installations from this prescient era.

Along with new color and duotone photographs of reconstructed installations by Michael Heizer, Dan Graham, Bruce Nauman, and Andy Warhol, among others, this volume includes previously unpublished diagrams and other documentation from the period. Each project is described in detail and situated in both a cinematic and art historical context.

Projected Shadows presents a new collection of essays exploring films from a psychoanalytic perspective, focusing specifically on the representation of loss in European cinema. This theme is discussed in its many aspects, including: loss of hope and innocence, of youth, of consciousness, of freedom and loss through death. Many other themes familiar to psychoanalytic discourse are explored in the process, such as:

• Establishment and resolution of Oedipal conflicts
• Representation of pathological characters on the screen
• Use of unconscious defence mechanisms
• The interplay of dreams, reality and fantasy

Projected Shadows aims to deepen the ongoing constructive dialogue between psychoanalysis and film. Andrea Sabbadini has assembled a remarkable number of internationally renowned contributors, both academic film scholars and psychoanalysts from a variety of cultural backgrounds, who use an array of contemporary methodologies to apply psychoanalyticthinking to film.

This original collection will appeal to anyone passionate about film, as well as professionals, academics and students interested in the relationship between psychoanalysis and the arts.
