Book Description
It's Halloween. No one can hear you scream when everyone's screaming. WET SCREAMS Playful scares and pranks are getting the boys and bears of Comfort Cove in the spirit for the big party on October 31st at Familiar Farm, home of the Comfort Coven. However, Deck Waxer and his partner Maru are in for some true terror. Jeff, an employee at their occult shop, has the ability to astral project. He begins to believe he is being drawn into the body of a vile beast at night-a monster that looks like a man just long enough to have sex with tricks...and then treat them to a fatal mauling. But there are no bodies to be found in the morning. Is Jeff just getting his astral and dream worlds mixed up? Deck fears not when he learns that lead Wiccan Franky and the other guys of the Comfort Coven have been keeping two men in hiding in their barn. Two men from Deck's tragic past. Two men who have a curse that makes them hairy...and man-hungry. And not in the good way. SCREAM, QUEEN! In the campy/scary/sexy novella Scream, Queen!, a creepy mama's boy invites a group of hot and horny men to his Halloween night coming out party. But the pheromones are about to turn into fear and moans (of pain!). Because also in attendance is an uninvited guest...GIMP FACE!

Scream
Author: Steven West
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1800347057
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Wes Craven's Scream (1996) emerged at the point where the early eighties American slasher cycle had effectively morphed into the post-Fatal Attraction trend for Hollywood thrillers that incorporated key slasher movie tropes. Scream emerged as a spiritual successor to Wes Craven's unpopular but critically praised previous film New Nightmare (1994), which evolved from his frustration at having lost creative control over his most popular creation, Freddy Krueger, and rebirthed the character in a postmodern context. Scream appropriates many of the concepts, conceits, and in-jokes inherent in New Nightmare, albeit in a much more commercial context that did not alienate teenage audiences who were not around to see the movies that were being referenced. This Devil's Advocate offers a full exploration of Scream, including its structure, its many reference points (such as the prominent use of Halloween as a kind of sacred text), its marketing ("the new thriller from Wes Craven" – not a horror film), and legacy for horror cinema in the new millennium.

Ghost Faces
Author: David Greven
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 1438460074
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Combines psychoanalysis, queer theory, masculinity studies, and cultural studies to explore contemporary manhood in film. Ghost Faces explores the insidious nature of homophobia even in contemporary Hollywood films that promote their own homo-tolerance and appear to destabilize hegemonic masculinity. Reframing Laura Mulveys and Gilles Deleuzes paradigms and offering close readings grounded in psychoanalysis and queer theory, David Greven examines several key films and genre trends from the late 1990s forward. Movies considered range from the slasher film Scream to bromances and beta male comedies such as I Love You, Man to dramas such as Donnie Darko and 25th Hour to Rob Zombies remake of the horror film Halloween. Greven also traces the disturbing connections between torture porn found in such films as Hostel and gay male Internet pornography.
