Screening location: Northwest Film Forum – 1515 12th Ave, Seattle
A very special presentation! Born out of novelties, toys, and camera tricks, early filmmakers formulated the first horror cinema in the nickelodeons. THE BIRTH OF HORROR presents a global survey of monsters, goblins, and things that go bump in the night, from the first screen conception of Frankenstein, to early home invasions and escaped psychos!
These films are presented by Portland’s Church of Film with atmospheric original soundtracks by Seattle’s Hexafoils—meticulously constructed horrorscapes crafted from synthesizers and foley design. A project years in the making!
