Default 'Andy Warhol's Horror Pictures.

I couldn't let a Cult film forums new art section go without Warhol's contributions to the horror genre. Warhol's name is there to sell the product so this is the Modern Art version of a 'Wes Craven Presents...' movie, but these are great examples of art, liberal 70s cinematic values and horror cliches bedding down together.

These are also probably the most watchable of the movies with Warhol's name attached. Paul Morrissey is the director of most of Warhol's post-assassination attempt movies, including the trannies, junkies and street hustlers trilogy of Flesh, Heat and Trash and all are certainly much more entertaining than a 24 hour film of the Empire State Building, one of the artists earlier 'features'.



Flesh for Frankenstein









Blood for Dracula
