Nostalgia Becomes Necrophilia
2022-10-18 · 12 min · Not rated
A video essay on the film, THE THIRD EYE (1966), where author and filmmaker Lindsay Hallam examines the film’s psychological and Gothic dimensions—especially its patterns of jealousy, obsession, eroticism, death, and preservation. The essay considers how the movie’s visual style extends melodramatic and Italian Gothic conventions, rather than simply recounting the plot. [Included on the Arrow Video "Gothic Fantastico: Four Italian Tales of Terror" Blu-ray box set.]

Born from the ashes of punk, the goth tribe has been evolving rapidly for 30 years. This subculture, initially niche, has grown into a social phenomenon that is flourishing around the world. In Europe, the community includes tens of thousands of people. Marilyn Manson fills concert halls, Jean-Paul Gaultier draws inspiration from gothic aesthetics for his collections, Tim Burton incorporates the movement's codes into his films...
