Shadow Play's Interests
|
| General | I, your humble author Willy Greer, am a bona fide horror geek. I co-host an online radio show devoted exclusively to horror film soundtracks and discussion ( www.myspace.com/horrorholocaust ), and am scoring the soundtrack for the upcoming Lovecraft adaptation CTHULHU (www.cthulhuthemovie.com). Obviously, horror cinema is something I'm very invested in. I have worked hard to make SHADOW PLAY a unique, lucid and intelligent read. | | Movies | SHADOW PLAY analyzes the following movies:

About me:
SHADOW PLAY: PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MODERN HORROR FILM is an analysis of the last forty years of horror cinema, from the grindhouse freakouts to the artsy-fartsy existentialist pieces. It dives down into the text and subtext of over seventy movies, trying to find the essence of what makes them succeed or fail. In the process, author Willy Greer discovers new perspectives on many of these films, which will likely turn the heads of even die-hard horror fans, who have seen these films hundreds of times. Greer dives headfirst into these films with a writing style best described as "academic subject matter discussed in a conversational voice". SHADOW PLAY is unlike any horror crititicism book you have read. It looks at horror cinema not simply as Freudian indulgence of the id, but more importantly, as Jungian confrontation and catharsis of the shadow-self that resides in us all. SHADOW PLAY is now looking for a good home with a caring publishing house.
