ABCs of Horror 2: 'P' Is for 'Peeping Tom' (1960) -- A deeply Freudian, psychological contemporary of 'Psycho' and forefather to the modern slasher genre. horrormovies scary Halloween
a 100-day project to choose the best horror film of every year from 1920-2019, nor last year’s first ABCs of Horror project. With many heavy hitters out of the way, which movies will we choose?
It has often been argued that voyeurism is the nature of cinema itself—the observation of the stories of others from a safe distance, which allows the audience member to indulge in giddy thrills as we look in on something salacious, or shocking, or terrifying. As Roger Ebert once put it, “We sit in the dark, watching other people’s lives. It is the bargain the cinema strikes with us, although most films are too well-behaved to mention it.
Mark’s weapon of choice? Film itself, or a film camera, anyway. The titular “peeping tom” is a voyeur who is obsessed with capturing the final moments of life, and the look of utter terror that must have once been etched on his own face while his own father tortured him. Armed with at least some passable social skills, Mark uses his job as a photographer to lure models and actresses into private shoots, where he kills them with a blade mounted to his tripod.
