Almanacco della Paura 1992

Everyone wears a mask, don't they? A mask of habits, small daily fictions and hypocrisies. But what was stolen from the house of the antiques dealer Hutton is not a simple metaphor: it is made of flesh and blood, infested by a murderous demon. Dylan seeks it to destroy it, because whoever wears it becomes its slave, whoever wears it discovers the frenzy of blood and sees things... with the eyes of Hell! Ryan Reed is a great photographer, perhaps the best. No one knows how to convey the illusion of death as well as him, the forms of terror immortalized on film. And it is in this illusion that Reed lives, in the ghostly space that divides a perfect fiction from a reality, a human being from a simulacrum, real life... from its flat image!
