About the show

Richard Hawkins’ 13+ minutes of videos Blood Everywhere make a comeback performance as a late night monster-movie hosting an undead opening. The Mystic Writing Pad fills in for Etch-A-Sketch nipples calling forth the decaying composition of Helmut Berger’s narcisso narcoco portrait jump-scaring onto the road to recovery once the Subject of Dorian Gray is out of the picture. (He was framed). The premiere deepfake Timothée Chalamet returns from the grave as the exorcising twink assassin felling an overly exaggerated severed head of the class. A regenerative sacrificial blood-soaked afterbath ensues. Old movieland in-camera face-dissolving gimmicks: Universal Lawrence Talbot gets Wolf-manhandled and Count Dracula cross ( ✞ ! ) - fades to Ashes to Ashes – but in the backmasking reverse of an Afterlife. Odilon Redon’s babydaddy seahorses squirt out their progenitals. Proto-Nosferatu Bill Skarsgård disembodies Magic Lanterns of engorged hearts discharging the bile and affection-cum-infection of loves-disaffected and loved ones exed-out. XTC. Depeche Mode’s “My Monument.” Queen. Death in June. Music by The Horrors.
