{Nightmare on Elms Street: Matthew Camp: 2012}

"It's FINALLY here, tomorrow is October 1st! Which means the beginning of 31 DAYS of HALLOWEEN: SERIES 2! A lot of you are new to KrysLandia since last October, so you may be asking yourself, "Why does this dude keep talking about Halloween, like, all the time? And WTF does 31 Days of Halloween mean?" Well, for those of you newbies-- here's a rundown on the project...

31 Days of Halloween is a photo series of mine that debuted October 2012. A lifelong lover of all things HORROR, I always talked about recreating scenes/images from my scary movies, but with a queer "twist". Every October, the idea would pop in my mind, seem exciting, seem scary, seem overwhelming, and pop back out. Once I tried to wrap my head around which films to pay homage to, or HOW to recreate them, or what it'd take to shoot all different kinds of films, direct models, and plan all the shoots ALL for about zero and a half dollars and whatever I could find, I'd get really scared and intimidated and chicken out and think, "maybe next year." Last year was FINALLY next year. I got done with a show I had overseas and felt like I needed a push, and something in me just said, "Screw It!" and I jumped in. I decided shooting something I cared SO much about and was SO scared to do was EXACTLY what I needed to do. So I started shooting my friends in roles I thought fit them, with a twist, I switched the genders of the characters they played. Kinda hoping to make a statement about gender roles in Horror Films. Also, it was fun to see queer men play the virgin, the whore, the roles always written for women, to figure out in my head which of my friends was Nancy from Elm Street and who was Laurie Strode hiding from Michael Meyers. I tried my best to shoot the photos in similar color pallets/ lighting schemes as their originals, and by using "old school" techniques like filters, shadows, mirrors and double exposures. But the final challenge was, I wanted to shoot and then share on ALL social media, a movie homage for EVERY day in October -- leading up to Halloween (and my two fav horror films)....IN REAL TIME. Seemed easy enough, started out real casual, then it, wasn't. It was the hardest month of my career. But despite scheduling changes, model changes, editing shots hours before they are posted, crazy things you never think of every day, like how a shower in a film isn't a real shower, or how to make Freddy come out of a bathtub? (or how legal is it really to have a machete in Central Park?) Yes, despite going from Hitchcock to Eli Roth to Polanski to Argento in a matter of days ..... down to a little hurricane called Sandy, the project was completed!! 36 Films in 22 Days!

Throughout 2012-13, the images that resulted have proven to be my most popular, and have been exhibited in many galleries both home and abroad, and published in magazines and hundreds of blogs. Despite the pressure, I'm doing it again! This year, I've taken most of the rules out. I don't want to box my own project in. It should evolve on it's own. This season is less about Gender and more has a tone of Queer/NonSpecific . Men can play men can play women can play men can play a green monster in a toilet. I also want to be freer with light and color, infuse more of my style into the original, let the films inspire me, not rule over me. Lastly, I shot some of these early, mostly so I could take advantage of models and locations I wouldn't have during the chilly fall (ie: the Moors of Northern England, the Open Ocean, people on Broadway). Many of my favorite horror films didn't make the cut last year, due to time, money, weather, and mostly not knowing HOW to make the image! But I'm HAPPY to report, ALL the movies I wanted to include last year, but couldn't, got shot this year (or will be shot in the next 3 weeks!)!

So, if all goes well again this year, you should have a new horror image from me every day this OCTOBER! There are many new models and some returning favs, ALL NEW movies, and (I hope) a lot of fun! If you missed the films from last year, they have been being posted in their entirety on Instagram over the last few days, they are also in a folder on my Facebook Fanpage www.facebook.com/krysfoxphotography and in the October Folder in my Tumblr www.krysfox.tumblr.com and are posted to twitterwww.twitter.com/krysfox. If you love what you see here, check out my other Social Media pages as well - I will be posting slightly different content on each page, as well as some "BEHIND THE SCREAMS" images, blogs and goodies. I'm very proud of SERIES TWO so far and hope you all enjoy it too. It's made for you, the other horror geeks like me, a little off, but mostly pretty on. I'm already planning on Series Three, but I gotta finishshooting Series Two first, so I'm off to bloody a buddy and I'll see ya tomorrow morning for DAY ONE.

Love N Guts, KFox"

"Keep That, Keep That Body Strong!!!!"






I usually post so much Doom and {or} Gloom i wanted to post a bit of the other side of my musical tastes...

Today for the gym i created a 90's house/gay disco\ Hi-NRG mix to work out too...Here's some of the highlights...GET INTO IT CHILDREN!!!!

Imagine a club filled with men all shirtless and brazen pressed to each other...chest to chest....cock to cock...cock to mouth...cock to ass...sweating and swaying screaming and singing smelling of sweat and amyl...covered in glitter and glistening with exxcstacy....grabbing and groping and hoping for contact and swearing and sucking and hiding in back rooms with floors all sticky and sweet from the spilling of secrets and sperm....

Din Da Da BITCHES.....

XOXO

"Witch-Wife" Edna St Vincent Millay


 
"SHE is neither pink nor pale,
    And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
    And her mouth on a valentine.
 
She has more hair than she needs;        5
    In the sun ’tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
    Or steps leading into the sea.
 
She loves me all that she can,
    And her ways to my ways resign;        10
But she was not made for any man,
    And she never will be all mine."

XOXO

PUREVILE! x DORIAN GRAY x FASHION WEEK = "Lonely in My Nightmare"



{My Life}




Its still all a blur...i remember sweating a lot and grabbing people to put pieces on...i remember tying things to people hair accidentally and a lot of quick flashes of boys cocks...my fan fell out the window.... we only had like 2 wardrobe malfunctions and then like a flash it was all over...or so it seemed...and i was left excited but deflated...the moment gone as fast as it started....

I had been working on ALOT of new pieces so it seemed natural to show them at Dorian Gray for Fashion Week...i don't work within the traditional fashion system...hell I've never even BEEN to a "real" fashion show in my whole life!!! But this is so much more me anyway...like that scene in "Liquid Sky" or something...beautiful make up smeared people and strange music and clothing...thats the alley I'M up!!!!

SO i frantically gathered some friends and fiends and even literally grabbed a boy from the crowd and threw him in one of my jocks {thanks Gerrold for procuring him!!!} and tried to sew together a semi coherent melange of my nightmares....

SO for all who came thank you...and for everyones constant support thank you as well..sometimes it just feels like i toil away in my hot little kitchen and make these strange things that only i like!!! SO its ALWAYS nice to hear a little feedback...and yes praise as well!!!! 

To all the models Thank you!!! To KAyvon and Anna for their vision of this club...to all the Dandies and Darlings who came and all of you who always support me!!! Thank you so much and i hope you enjoy what I've created!!!!!

I don't usually have "Season' or things like that...but in my head i was calling this collection "Lonely in My Nightmare" I hope you enjoy!!!!

XOXO
