Shadow people
Alright why do they wear hats often?
And the other commonly reportd feature are the red eyes.
The first question is harder, but the second would
appear to indicate that they are demons. Red eyes hellfire.
That's the association, i imagine.
However, when i was studying colours at art college
I noticed that one of the strongest colour combinations for shock value
was black and red, or even more so black and orange.
The colour of the night and the colour of blood.
The sharpest contrast.
That may of course be a psychological thing.
That either means that we are primed to see the most shocking
combination of colours possible, or that these are the first flush
of a rising demonic presence.
It could be as well that we are being fed these colours
by horror film makers, and they have got
implanted into our psychological vocabulary.
Why should a shadow wearing a hat be scary?
Which of you has heard of the comic book character The Shadow?
He wore a hat and had red eyes. But he was a vigilante
fighting criminals, and i love his tales.
Maxwell Grant 30s -50s,
That can't be the source of the effect of wearing a hat...
What's scary about a hat? Does this originate
with horror films too?
I can think of one, and i don't much like to,
as i don't much like horror films.
Go back to earlier days... did the phantom of the opera wear a hat?
The point is, when did shadow people first start to be observed?
More to come.........
