Blood Covered Velvet: The Costuming of the Corman-Poe Films
When Roger Corman parlayed his AIP contract into one color movie a year he ended up creating some of the most visually stunning films the company produced. The costuming of these movies is its own visual language that helps the viewer understand the characters and how they fit into the worlds around him. Dominique Lamssies will explore that language and illustrate why blood covered velvet is much cooler than a blood covered t-shirt.
Dominique Lamssies is a writer local to Portland, Oregon and is the head necromancer at The House Of Silent Graves, where she makes monsters for people to hug. She strives constantly to have every story she writes involve some form of dead person and sound like it was written a hundred years ago. Her work has been featured in The Horror Zine, Non Binary Review, and Women in Horror Annual. She hopes to someday write a story worthy of having Peter Cushing star in the movie version, were he still with us. She always wants to talk about weird movies and hopes Ed Wood blesses your day.
