Ms. Korn exhibits a set of ghoulish miniatures depicting Mr. Viall's family members, who have appeared frequently on the show in support of his many love journeys, posed alongside the creepy star of internet scary stories, Slender Man; the piece draws parallels between two bizarre fantasy worlds that hold real people's lives in their grasp.
The book skips merrily from topic to ghoulish topic, exploring the mechanics of those Coney Island death traps; peering at the lurid attractions of the sideshows of old; weaving a story about Victorian hair art; poking away at humanity's curious impulse to "play dead;" and delving into the emotional intricacies of collecting other people's mourning objects.
From an enormous fiberglass sculpture of the Pink Panther smoking a meth pipe, a chair in the shape of a woman raising her legs for coitus, and dozens upon dozens of paintings of ghoulish figures with disheartening phrases like "Why Did You Go and Die," there is more at play than overwhelms the eye in Melgaard's Bushwick, Brooklyn studio.
"At the moment, from the current debates about alleged White House collusion with Russia, to the success of The Americans, the KGB seems to be the subject of Americans' combined ghoulish fascination and horror," Mark Galeotti, an expert on Russian politics and global crime at the Institute of International Relations in Prague and VICE contributor, wrote me this week.
For instance, you can check out the classic "Slutty Pumpkin" episode of How I Met Your Mother (season 1, episode 6); Brooklyn Nine-Nine's "HalloVeen" (season 5, episode 4); "Halloween" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (season 2, episode 6); or "The Halloween Scene" from Sabrina the Teenage Witch (season 5, episode 6) for some ghoulish good fun.
The terrible experiences she's processing are punctuated by flashes of simpler horrors — drawings of the covers of her beloved Dread, Ghoulish and Ghastly magazines (dead ringers for the real-world Creepy and Eerie, whose frequent contributor Richard Corben seems to have had as much of an impact on Ferris's artwork as his polar opposite, Lynda Barry).
The crime had all the ghoulish ingredients of a potboiler: the sudden disappearance of a wealthy landowner and Harvard graduate, George Parkman (pictured); another Harvard man—John Webster, a professor of chemistry and mineralogy—as prime suspect; a dismembered body presumed to be the victim's; a sullen janitor who supplied the anatomy laboratory with cadavers; and a trial reported in screaming headlines.
They can be counted on to invent ghoulish conspiracy theories (Vince Foster, Benghazi) out of nothing, or to identify a legitimate impropriety (her email practices as secretary of state) and react so out of proportion (suggesting, for instance, that the squeaky-clean conservative FBI director, James Comey, is covering up her crimes) that the story becomes about their outlandishness, rather than her conduct.
It turns out that "The Hunt," its detractors and its studio's attempt to cash in on its notoriety are all textbook examples of a colossal self-own: As a remake of the 1932 people-hunting thriller "The Most Dangerous Game," this tepid iteration uses the ghoulish premise mostly as an excuse to trot out increasingly gross rituals of torture and body horror.
Showcasing the inner workings of the life of any parent during the ghoulish festivities, her caption says it all: "Mamá makeup duties...#happyhalloween����.." Lopez's children both dressed up for the night — her son rocking a Baymax costume and Emme portraying a "pretty lil fox" — but there's no photographic proof that the "Ni Tú Ni Yo" singer and boyfriend Alex Rodriguez brought out a couples costume this year.
They're going on a UK-wide screening tour with We Are The Weirdos, a showcase of short films from up-and-coming female directors that feature characters like a college student whose skin mysteriously starts peeling off after a one night stand; a cyber-stalker punishing married men for using dating apps, and a ghoulish figure who murders late-night revellers in a bar.
At the Cooper's we see Polly (Tiera Skovbye) rushing Betty awake for what seems to be Christmas morning, as Betty comes down the stairs the scene turns terrifying immediately showing Polly, Hal (Lochlyn Munro), and Alice Cooper (Mädchen Amick) all dead with the Black Hood creepily climbing over the couch as if to get Betty next – but Betty wakes up from the ghoulish nightmare just in time.
Celeste's time on the stand is meant to shock, and it comes across as so out-of-bounds ghoulish in order to make a bigger point: that victims like Celeste, and particularly women, don't come forward because society (as represented by Ira) will make them relive their abuse, constantly doubt them, paint them as liars, and make them feel like what happened to them is their fault.
Where Charles Addams, her first hero, created a world of mansard-roofed houses and ghoulish folks to fill them, hers is the world of the receding New York middle class: scuffed-up apartments, grimy walls, round-shouldered men perched on ratty armchairs and frizzy-haired women in old-fashioned skirts—no Chast skirt has ever risen above the knee—marked by a shared stigmata of anxiety above their eyes.
There aren't many pop culture touchpoints for World War I. It's not that entertainment has ignored it — on the contrary, there are dozens of novels and movies like All Quiet on the Western Front about the Great War — it's just that modern filmmakers have found much more fertile cinematic ground a few decades later, in World War II. It is, for reasons that are at best crass and ghoulish, the more cinematic war.
