Eugenio Recuenco

Spanish photographer, Eugenio Recuenco, does not disappoint. His style varies from project to project, but it is always nothing short of breathtaking. You could literally spend hours sifting through the collection of images on his website. Several sets could definitley be described as being of the haunted variety.

the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death

This is a book of photographs by Corinne May Botz. The Nutshell Studies are a collection miniaturized crime scenes built of dollhouse parts by Frances Glessner Lee. Lee founded the Department of Legal Medicine at Harvard in 1936. She built the dollhouse crime scenes from composites of real cases. They were meant to be teaching tools to help train new detectives in the art of assessing visual clues and evidence. This is an amazing book. Lee's eye for detail and craftsmanship is like no other. Each scene is brought down to an exacting scale, one inch per one foot. Botz does a beautiful job photographing and documenting each scene.

Wizard of Gore (1970)

A truly horrid film, but I did appreciate the red filtered segments in it. It might still be on comcast on demand. Looks like there was a remake as well in 2007 staring Crispin Glover
