My collection of horror masterpieces are the last of their kind. My horror VHS collection has been
a staple in my artistic growth as a film maker. This is only a small portion of my collection, the rest is systematically placed with a director of my favorite films. Horror films have been my first glimpse into the art of making films. I remember looking at the names of the crew such as cinematographers, make up efx artist writers and directors. The Friday The 13th films were classic SLASHER movie making that had an atmospheric tones that gave the films a timeless look at the sub genre. Zombie films are always one of my favorite horror sub genres, especially the George Romero films. The remakes live up to the classics delivering a gore fest of horror.
The reason why I keep these clunky pieces of art is the packaging and the art work on the covers.
films on VHS give off a crisp analog sound that is perfect for sampling. I love the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD trilogy box sets, they really stand out. Even though some of my films are not the full series I still enjoy watching them for ideas when it comes to my film projects.
