Horror is a
popular genre because it helps us come to terms with the darker
side of human nature. But the films represented in this art show
were not always appreciated by the general public; most were made
on a shoestring budget and some were even completely shunned by
the mass media. However, thanks to their uniqueness and creativity,
these B-Movies have developed a strong following in the outsider
subculture.
The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, Frankenhooker, Street Trash, Mother’s Day, Dead
Alive, Phantasm, Dawn Of The Dead… These are just some of
the movies in the B/Underground Genre that inspire us to create
our most horrific artworks.
Join MF Gallery
and a slew of horror enthusiasts, as we pay tribute to our favorite
movies through drawings, paintings, sculptures, and other works
of art.
At the Opening
Party on Saturday May 14th from 7 to 10pm, MF Gallery will be projecting
a selection of our favorite Horror Movies of all time, accompanied
by a Heavy Metal soundtrack. Refreshments will be served. Admission
is Free and open to all ages.

will be on view at MF Gallery until June 18, 2011, by appointment
