Chatty Hollywood

Accompanied by music that hides horror and tension, a carriage gallops in the night.

An old man wearing a white wig was sitting in the carriage, looking nervous.

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky.

The driver who drove the car was startled, and the old man in the car looked out of the car restlessly.

In the blur, there seemed to be a phantom flashing from the side of the carriage.

The old man retracted into the carriage, but suddenly heard a horse hiss in front of him, followed by the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

This made the old man sitting on pins and needles, especially after hearing a slight "puff", he couldn't help but poke his head out of the carriage again——

The coachman's head is gone!

The old man who saw this scene grew his mouth in surprise, he didn't even have time to scream, he realized a little--

Without the control of the coachman, the galloping carriage will soon get out of control and crash!

In desperation, although he was afraid, he could only barely jump off the carriage.

Even though the fall was not light, in the face of unknown fear, he plunged into the cornfield on the side of the road and began to run wildly.

"It feels like a mime era!"

Roger Albert saw this and couldn't help smacking his lips.

——Because of a special invitation from Paramount's Andrew Kevin Walker, he was invited to the scene as soon as "Dale of the Dead" was released in Chicago.

As an elder among film critics, he also watched some silent films when he was a teenager.

There is no dialogue at all in this passage, only sound effects such as thundering horses, and even the color of the title is closer to the black and white title, which makes him feel a bit of the silent film era.

This made him miss it very much, and he couldn't help but have a little liking for this movie.

Of course, as a film critic who has read countless films, Roger Albert knows that this is actually a trick of the director.

However, he does not hate it.

In fact, he felt that the opening sequence without dialogue was applied very well.

That kind of silent film feeling, coupled with a monster that hasn't shown up at all, is very suitable for the scene.

Sitting in the projection hall, Roger only felt a sense of speechless fear, coming across his face through the big screen.

"Excellent lens language!"

While feeling the faint sense of fear, Roger Albert muttered to himself.

**********

Compared with the older film critic in Chicago, the little girl Emily who is currently watching movies in Washington has a different feeling.

Of course she will not be afraid!

As a girl who grew up watching horror movies, Emily does not experience fear, but she will never be easily intimidated.

In fact, after experiencing the silent atmosphere of fear, Emily even felt that her adrenaline level was slowly rising.

That's how the little girl feels when she sees a horror movie she likes.

"I like this movie!"

Emily said this to herself.

She glanced at Abby beside her--

In the darkness, although her new friend's face could not be seen clearly, her eyes sparkled.

——Abby really is my fellow!

Emily confirmed this in an instant.

At this time, a dull thunder sounded again in the projection hall.

On the big screen, after the old man ran across the cornfield, his eyes suddenly disappeared. There was a thunder at this moment, and he subconsciously looked up--

A scarecrow with a pumpkin head was standing there quietly.

——Like the old man, many viewers in front of the big screen were also relieved.

Some people even smiled and said softly:

"Happy Halloween!"

——It is the night of October 31st after all!

However, audiences who have watched more horror films such as Emily know that things will not end so easily-

The old man on the big screen feels the same.

Even he realized that the horrible thing that had been chasing him was right behind him.

With fear and pleading on his face, the old man slowly turned his head.

At this moment, the lens gradually overlapped with the old man's perspective——

A sword light flashed.

The audience leaned back subconsciously without even seeing the swordsman.

No way, the sword light rushing toward the camera is too real, and people can't help but feel that they will be hacked if they don't dodge.

When everyone restrained their defensive instincts, the old man's head had been chopped off on the big screen.

Biao's blood splashed the scarecrow's face not far from him.

The pumpkin head with a big grin, coupled with the blood on it, looked inexplicably gloomy and terrifying.

"Unfortunately, I didn't see it clearly!"

Emily has some regrets.

The moment she saw Jianguang just now, she also subconsciously dodged, which made her lose the opportunity to see the people or monsters chasing the old man.

"The director must be deliberate!"

The little girl murmured angrily.

Abby, who was sitting next to her, also nodded in agreement.

***********

"Of course I did it on purpose!"

In the premiere screening room in London, Charlotte answered Charlize's question in her mind.

The girl's questioning and the whispered complaints that sounded one after another in the theater made the director smile.

"I deliberately adjusted the lens here, so that the time is short enough to see the sword light coming across the face, but I never see the person swinging the sword."

"Is the number of frames not enough for 24?"

When Charlize remembered "Fatal Turn", Charlotte explained the visual principles to herself.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded, and then added another sentence in her mind,

"Moreover, I deliberately used some spells in this shot to cover up Rob Inge, who was playing the headless knight at the time."

"So, even if someone's eyes exceed the limit of a normal person, they can't see the look of the headless horseman?"

Charlize asked in his mind.

"Yes, the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying, isn't it?"

"..."

Although Charlotte’s words were completely correct, Charlize felt that if the audience knew, they would send him the blade.

——Or, throw him into the river~www.readwn.com~ and become a floating corpse?

The girl thought about it badly.

Then, a floating corpse appeared on the big screen.

This is New York in 1799.

Iqab Karan, played by Johnny Depp, finally appeared.

——As the actor, he certainly wouldn't be a floating corpse.

He is the one who found the floating corpse.

A young impulsive new police officer who wanted to introduce various scientific methods into the detection, but was always rejected by his superiors.

Seeing the big screen, the actor argued with his boss that the floating corpse should not be burned, but the autopsy should be done to find out the truth. Emily in the 1990s couldn't believe it.

"Are the police in that era so simple and rude?"

She decided to consult the experts around her.

——As a forensic officer of NCIS, Abby must know a lot about this, right?

Abby, who was sitting next to Emily, nodded.

"In fact, even now, many police officers are still very simple and rude."

Abby explained quietly in her ear,

"Moreover, although the post-mortem work existed a long time ago, it is already at the end of the 19th century that it has been truly valued."

"I see."

Emily nodded.

——So, in 1799, it was normal for the actor Iqab’s proposal to be rejected by his boss.

PS1: "Halloween 3" must also be an episode of the "Halloween" series of horror films. In the plot description of the movie "Drop Head", I will not specifically introduce other titles, of course, there will be other plots later. PS2: At the beginning of "Guillotine Valley", I basically wrote it according to the original film, but the oncoming sword light was added by myself. I prefer this kind of impact lens.
