The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is set to celebrate horror for 10 months with The Horror Show Exhibition, featuring a Carpenter series!
Said Dafoe, “Cinema in general engages your sense of wonder, but horror can explode it. It is a popular form, born of modest financial resources and with a strong, lasting independent streak. And it has all the same possibilities for originality, inventiveness, and freedom that it did in its infancy.”
Added Perkins, “Horror is crucial to culture and cinema, and to our evolving understanding of what it means to be alive on earth. I couldn’t think of a bigger or better celebration of the films and stories that have impacted audiences so profoundly and for so long. There is something for every horror fan to appreciate and enjoy in this exhibition, a hallway of limitless doors to be opened and explored.”
The 10-month-long exhibit debuts September 26th in the Marilyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg Gallery on the Los Angeles museum’s fourth floor. It will run through to July 25, 2027.
And me? I’ll be first in line.
