Description

Yn yr astudiaeth feirniadol gyntaf am y pwnc, archwilir mater a gaiff ei anwybyddu’n aml, sef pam y mae masgiau yn elfen fytholwyrdd a phoblogaidd yn hanes ffilmiau arswyd? Ystyrir hefyd sut y mae masgiau, defod a thrawsffurfiad yn cydgyfarfod ynddynt.
As the first critical book on the subject of masks in horror, this book explores the often-overlooked question of why have masks been such an enduring and popular aspect of the genre’s history? Masks in Horror Cinema considers how masks, ritual and transformation intersect in horror movies.
