Adopted text on the work: This video is composed of three drawn-over trailers of classic horror films: The Last House On The Left (1972), The Evil Dead (1981) and A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 (1987). The artist laboriously traced film frames with a felt-tip pen on transparent plastic and then transferred them to digital form. He kept the original sound, but transformed the visual form through the drawing so that we can perceive the construct of the film's terror.
