And I Must Scream: An Examination of Body Horror in Japanese Animation

An Illustrated Lecture with JR Pepper

Bio-morphic transformations, countless limbs, undulating tentacles and a decaying human form all define the term ‘body horror’. Although there are many films that exhibit this trope, arguably the versatility, artistry and sheer imaginative insanity of Japanese animation best exhibits the true primal fear that is body horror. ‘And I Must Scream’ will explore the various forms of body horror as exhibited in anime, including its origins in Japanese animation and the symbolic meanings behind it.

Please be advised that there will be graphic and disturbing imagery and video in this lecture.
