I present to you the next lady in our homage to the violent femmes of horror cinema, the Femmes of Fright! Always a cut above the boys. Ava, just gets possessed sometimes and is trying to find out why. This illustration series aims to represent these strong female horror monsters and villains in bold, simple colors and shapes. It’s a labor of love and blood! New illustration revealed every Friday (most of the time)!

There is a sad seduction and mythic magic in the idea that civilization as we know it will be destroyed by zombies, or that monsters and demons hide among us, and when confronted with this threat one’s courage is all one has. Zombie-horror and demonic-thrillers with their government secrets, revenge of nature on the selfishness of humans, and tragic love, reproduces that feeling of the gathering storm in one’s heart – the feeling that we must live in the moment. That is something that most spiritual teachings and high art tries to convey. The horror genre of cinema exaggerates with a delicious display of wide angles and ketchup blood the capacity of strangers to bond in a time of crisis and undergo profound changes, accompanied by extreme personal growth. There’s always a motley crew of strangers who come together in a barricaded cafeteria to fight the indifference of evil, which has taken all of their loved ones. They have to deal with real sociological problems to overcome a collective threat…as fun as the action is, it also moves us. From a poetic standpoint, the moment that the  ‘loved one’ becomes a zombie, or a vampire, can resonate in a profound way, because if there is one sorrow that everyone knows, it is the sorrow of recognizing someone you love but not recognizing them; seeing the love that once filled their eyes drain away as though all the stars were falling from a cloudless sky, having to let them go because they are already gone, because they are not the person we once knew, and smashing in their heads with a big shovel is all we can do to save ourselves.

Today's movie was Ava's Possessions. I really enjoyed it although the story arc was confusing. It's about a girl who joins a support group for people who have been possessed and exorcised which is something I have wondered about and was glad to see it explored! #horrormovieeverydayinoctober #horror #avaspossessions #possession #exorcism
