Art in Horror - Pt 1 of 3

In Part One of our series about how fine art and great horror movies go together, Horror.com's Staci Layne Wilson talked to directors Mick Garris (The Stand, and the upcoming Bag of Bones) and Stuart Gordon (From Beyond, and the upcoming The Thing on the Doorstep) about the subject. Their insights on how art has influenced films (Hitchcock's Spellbound, or Aronofsky's The Wrestler) are quite fascinating.

These exclusive interviews took place at a special screening for William Malone's Parasomnia -- the charity event was held in part to benefit the American Cinetheque and to raise awareness for the late Polish surrealist painter, Zdzislaw Beksinski. A short clip from the Masters of Horror Panel discussion follows.

Have a look.

Here is Part Two, with Wes Craven, and Tobe Hooper -- all talking about past, present and future projects, and how art enhances their work in cinema. Then... Check out Part Three, featuring William Malone, and Richard Elfman.
