CHARLESTON -- Willing victims are invited to take part in mayhem, gore, blood and death when Death by Design Co., offers the chance to star in a “slasher” genre horror movie death scene. Chicago artists will do death scene tapings, by reservation only, on Jan. 22-26 at the Tarble Arts Center at Eastern Illinois University. Witnesses are welcome to watch without an appointment, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
The premiere and opening reception will be held from 5-7 p.m. Jan. 27. Admission is free and the public is invited.
The death scenes are part of the installation/exhibition/performance titled Death by Design Co. Stalks Charleston: Postmodern Meets Postmortem. After the tapings, the film set will remain as an installation through April 1 in Tarble’s eGallery. Periodic screenings of Maynard's movie, “Throb,” other slasher genre horror films and Death by Design, Co.-produced videos will also be presented as part of the installation.
