Nyuam qhuav pib lub lim tiam no, iHorror tau ua tus kws kos duab txog Joshua Hoffine: tus kws tshaj lij yees duab thaij duab. Kuv tau txais lub sijhawm los xaiv nws lub hlwb thiab tham txog kev ntshai thaum yau, muaj dab tsi tom ntej thiab nws nyiam kev ntxim nyiam ua yeeb yam. Yog tias koj txaus siab xav kawm me ntsis txog Joshua Hoffine thiab nws cov haujlwm thiab keeb kwm yav dhau los, tshawb xyuas nws cov duab profile ntawm no.

DD: Hi Joshua, ua tsaug rau koj nrog kuv tham. Peb yuav tsum paub, dab tsi tau koj pib hauv kev ntshai duab?

Joshua Hoffine: Kuv loj hlob saib cov yeeb yaj kiab Ntshai thiab nyeem Stephen King. Hom txaus ntshai heev yog ze rau kuv lub siab.

Thaum kuv los ua ib tus kws yees duab, Kuv pom tias tsis muaj ib qho "ntshai heev yees duab." Cov yeeb yaj kiab txaus ntshai, yog- dab neeg txaus ntshai, comics, tso TV, vis dis aus, duab qhia, thiab pab tub rog - tab sis qhov twg yog cov kws yees duab tau ntshai?

Joel Peter Witkin sawv ua qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws. Nws cov duab nws txawv puas siab puas ntsws, tab sis nws yuav tsis kam txais daim ntawv lo ntawm kev ntshai, tsis yog nws puas kam nrog lub iconography lossis tropes ntawm cov ntawv nyeem.

Kuv xav los ua tus, tshwj xeeb, ib “Tus Neeg Muag Khoom Ntshai Tuag”.

Kuv tau pib ntawm kuv txoj haujlwm hauv 2003. Lub teb chaws tseem tau tuav hauv ib qho kev tshaj tawm 9/11 kab lis kev cai ntawm kev ntshai. Lub psychology ntawm kev ntshai tsam kuv ua qhov kev kawm tseem ceeb uas tau tshawb nrhiav nrog kuv cov duab thaij duab.

Kuv tseem nyuam qhuav tawm ntawm Hallmark Cards kom ua haujlwm puv sijhawm hauv tsev thiab siv sijhawm ntau nrog kuv tus ntxhais hluas. Kuv tau pom thaum lawv tau koom nrog qhov kev ntshai ntawm tib tug menyuam yaus uas kuv tau muaj dhau los. Qhov no paub- hais tias tej yam kev ntshai yog universal- yog tiag tiag dab tsi pib peb tes num. Ntawd thiab muaj kuv cov ntxhais hluas ua yeeb yam.

Kuv nyiam cov kev yees duab luv luv ntawm Cindy Sherman thiab Gregory Crewdson, thiab xav coj lawv txoj hauv kev mus rau qhov kev taw qhia zoo dua thiab ntshai.

Kuv kawm ntawv qib siab yog hauv Ntawv Askiv. Raws li kev yees duab nce zuj zus, Kuv pib paub tias txhua tus neeg ntshai heev, txhua yam monsters, ua haujlwm ua piv txwv qhia. Kuv tau pib xav tsis yog lub ntsej muag ntawm kev ntshai, tab sis kuj yog lub ntsiab lus hauv qab thiab lub hom phiaj ntawm ntshai heev.

DD: Ua tsaug rau qhov zoo koj tau sau qhov sib txawv hauv kev yees duab. Nws yog ib yam uas txhua tus kiv cua ntshai heev tuaj yeem lees paub, peb nyiam kev kos duab uas yog ob qho tib si haunting thiab zoo nkauj. Puas tau muaj cov kws thaij duab cuam tshuam rau koj tus kheej kev thaij duab?

JH: Tsis yog dhau li. Kuv zam kev saib ntawm lub luag haujlwm ntawm lwm cov kev pab txog. Kuv them ntau xim rau zaj duab xis- Terry Gilliam tsos, Stanley Kubrick, tus ntse ntawm Lub Neej Tuag 2.

Kuv tau kawm teeb pom kev zoo los ntawm cov kws yees duab coj mus muag npe Nick Vedros. Kuv interned nrog nws rau 6 lub hlis. Qhov no tsuas yog ua ntej txoj kev hloov kho digital. Nws siv cov kev teeb tsa tiag tiag thiab cov txiaj ntsig zoo, qee zaum ntawm lub teev loj, rau cov neeg siv khoom loj. Kuv xav tias kuv tus kheej zoo nkauj tau tsim tawm ntawm cov tshooj lus nws tau qhia kuv.

DD: Koj puas tau ua tus kiv cua ntawm ntshai heev? 

JH: Nco ntsoov.

Kuv niam coj kuv thiab kuv cov muam mus saib Poltergeist hauv kev ua yeeb yam thaum peb tseem me. Peb tau siv sijhawm ib xyoos rov qab ua yeeb yam, nrog kuv tus niam yau Sarah ib txwm tau nqus rau hauv lub txee dai khaub ncaws.

Peb saib John Carpenter tus lub tshaj plaws ntawm HBO li tsev neeg. Kuv muaj 10-xyoo-laus thiab nws tag kuv lub siab. Los ntawm tsev kawm theem nrab, peb muaj VCR thiab kuv niam kuv txiv yuav cia kuv mus kuaj ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab uas kuv xav tau, nrog rau qhov tsis muaj qhov txwv. Kuv muaj lub siab ua menyuam yaus. Ntshai cov movies tsuas yog ib txwm ua rau kuv.

DD: Ntawm no yog txhua yam kuv rov ua raws li tus menyuam yaus raug ua Winnifred Sanderson los ntawm Hocus PocusCov. Kuv xav tias koj muaj kuv yeej. Puas yog "Tom Qab Tsaus Ntuj, Kuv Qab Qab Zib" qhia qhov koj tus kheej ntshai thaum yau?

JH: Kuv txheeb txhua yam ntawm lawv. Tsis yog koj?

DD: Raws li ib tug me nyuam tau muaj thiab txog rau hnub no. Kuv xav tias koj daim duab "Hma" ua rau kuv ntshai heev tshaj plaws, kuv xav. Koj nyiam tshaj plaws cov koob yees duab series koj tau ua dab tsi?

JH: “Tom qab Tsaus Ntuj, Kuv Qab zib.”. Nws yog thawj qhov project, nws tau nrog kuv cov menyuam, thiab nws yog txoj kev taug ntawm txoj kev nrhiav pom. Kuv tau txij li thaum broadened kuv tau thiab kho kuv cov khoom siv tes ua, tab sis qhov project ntawd zoo siab vim tias nws tsis zoo li ntawd. Kuv muaj tsis muaj neeg tuaj saib. Nws yog txhua yam rau kuv. Nws yog tus dawb huv.

DD: Thiab nws zoo li koj tshaj plaws. Txhua qhov tshawb nrhiav ntawm koj lub npe rub tawm "Tom Qab Tsaus Ntuj, Kuv Qab Zib" tshaj plaws. Koj puas tseem siv tsev neeg hauv koj daim duab?

JH: Yog, txhua lub sijhawm kuv tau txais. Kuv tus poj niam, Jen, tau muaj npe nyob hauv kuv daim duab nyuam qhuav dhau los no “Nosferatu.”

DD: Nws tus kheej zoo nkauj (cov plaub hau ntawd!) Thiab daim duab ntawd nws zoo nkauj heev. Hollywood Heev ntshai kawg. Dab tsi ntawm kev yees duab koj yuav ua yog tias koj tsis ua qhov tsis txaus ntshai yees duab?

JH: Txo cov duab thaij duab. Kuv nyiam nws heev thiab nws ua rau kuv lub zog: lub teeb pom kev zoo, coj tib neeg los ntawm kev yooj yim, thiab muab cov lus qhia meej meej.

Kuv tseem muaj ob peb lub tswvyim ntxiv uas kuv xav tsim nyob rau yav tom ntej.

DD: Dab tsi yog qhov txhib kom koj ua cov yeeb yaj kiab luv Dub Lullaby (hais txog ib tug hluas nkauj uas ntsib Boogeyman)?

JH: Kuv xav pom kuv cov duab hauv cov lus tsa suab. Kuv tau muaj lub tswv yim yooj yim rau zaj yeeb yaj kiab uas kuv tuaj yeem tua nyob hauv kuv lub tsev. Kuv tus ntxhais, Chloe, tau lub hnub nyoog zoo kawg thiab muaj lub peev xwm ua yeeb yam. Nws yog lwm yam kev nrhiav hauv.

DD: Koj puas npaj ua kom lwm tus?

JH: Auj, yog.

DD: Kuv yuav tos tsis pom nws. Zoo siab rau koj phau ntawv! Kuv pom tias nws tau tawm lub xyoo no, qhov twg tuaj yeem nyeem peb cov tub ntxhais kawm ua ntej thov nws?

DD: Yog phau ntawv uas kuv yuav tsum muaj rau kuv qhov kev sau ntshai. Dab tsi peb tuaj yeem saib rau yav tom ntej?

JH: Tam sim no hais tias kuv lub phiaj xwm thaij duab tau luam tawm li phau ntawv, Kuv yuav ua ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab txaus ntshai heev.

Txhua yam tau ua haujlwm ntawm lub sijhawm no. Kuv twb paub tias nws yog dab tsi. Nws yuav khaus, tab sis amazing.

DD: Kuv tsis tau tos saib seb dab tsi npau suav phem koj ua tiag nyob rau hauv ib daim ntawv qhia txog qhov ntev. Kuv tsuas yog ua duab kom nws yuav tau phim. Lo lus nug kawg… koj zaj dab neeg txaus ntshai tshaj yog dab tsi?
