In order to prove to his friends that he is brave and fearless, a secret that Xiong Haizi rarely tells when he grows up is that he is afraid and curious to read adventure horror novels and cartoons through the warm breath of bright afternoon sunshine. For many post-80s generation, this terrible childhood experience may come from a series of horror movies Creep Show, with the Chinese name Ghost Show.
The first two films of Ghost are classic horror b films jointly presented by two horror masters, George A. Romero and Stephen King, which were released on 1982 and 1987 respectively. These two films not only brought cool nights to the children born in 1980s, but also became images of their past when they grew up.
Chinese people's initial impression of American horror movies is dry, sticky, with broken arms and limbs and blood spattered on the spot, and they can best taste the original flavor in these images full of time sense. The horror unit drama Ghost Show of the same name premiered on the thriller platform on September 26th is a tribute and continuation of this classic.
Ghost Show has a great style since the first film. The interactive switching and transition between the live-action commentary and horror comics's painting style in the 1980s once made people think that it was a cartoon adaptation, but the 20-minute rhythm of a story brought people a brief excitement, like swallowing an iced coke-neat and refreshing.
Without the repression of most Asian horror movies, this series is famous for its strange and curious imagination. When you are suddenly surprised by a plot, it seems that you can hear the creator laughing-hey, coward, scared! This is a kind of complacency when my friend played pranks when I was a child.
The first episode of the adapted unit drama brought us two short and pithy stories. In the first half of the play, the decadent father loves to drink beer and is afraid of light and high temperature. Is there any necessary connection between him and becoming a green monster with mucus secretion?
There seems to be no; Disgusting monsters, like clowns dragged to miss the rough props of the 1980s, use unknown substances such as snot and the ability to eat people at will, trying to make the audience realize that the horror of decades ago is far-fetched and blunt, lacking Stephen King's black humor.
