Book excerpt: Partie 1: Le Mystère du Louvre: - La Salle des Dieux Barbares: - Il y a un fantôme au Louvre ! Telle était l'étrange rumeur qui, le matin du 17 mai 1925, circulait dans notre musée national. Partout, dans les vestibules, dans les couloirs, dans les escaliers, on ne voyait que des gens qui s'abordaient, les uns effrayés, les autres incrédules, et s'empressaient de commenter l'étrange et fantastique nouvelle. Dans la salle dite des "David", devant le célèbre tableau, le Sacre de Napoléon, deux gardiens discutaient avec animation. Bientôt, les balayeuses et les frotteurs qui, ce jour là, n'accomplissaient que fort distraitement leur besogne, s'approchaient d'eux, afin d'écouter leur conversation, qui ne pouvait manquer d'être fort intéressante. - Moi, je te dis que c'est un fantôme ! scandait l'un des gardiens. Et tandis que son collègue éclatait de rire et haussait les épaules, il martelait avec un accent de conviction sous lequel perçait un certain émoi: - GAUTRAIS l'a vu !.... Et c'est pas un blagueur ni un poltron !.... Même qu'il est en train de faire son rapport à M le conservateur ! C'était exact. Dans le bureau de ce haut fonctionnaire, Pierre GAUTRAIS, un grand gaillard solide, robuste, aux épaules carrées, à la figure franche et un peu naïve, déclarait à son supérieur, M LAVERGNE, qui, assis devant sa table de travail et flanqué de son adjoint et de son secrétaire, l'écoutait d'un air bienveillant mais plutôt sceptique: - Je l'ai vu comme je vous vois !.... Je me laisserais plutôt couper la tête que de dire le contraire. - Dites moi, GAUTRAIS.... Vous n'aviez pas bu un petit coup de trop ? observait M LAVERGNE. - Oh Monsieur le conservateur sait bien que je ne me grise jamais ! protestait Pierre GAUTRAIS. - Alors, vous avez eu une hallucination. - Oh non, monsieur.... J'étais bien réveillé......................

Et tandis que son collègue éclatait de rire et haussait les épaules, il martelait avec un accent de conviction sous lequel perçait un certain émoi : - Gautrais l'a vu !... Et c'est pas un blagueur ni un poltron !... Même qu'il est en train de faire son rapport à M. le conservateur ! C'était exact. Dans le bureau de ce haut fonctionnaire, Pierre Gautrais, un grand gaillard solide, robuste, aux épaules carrées, à la figure franche et un peu naïve, déclarait à son supérieur, M. Lavergne, qui, assis devant sa table de travail et flanqué de son adjoint et de son secrétaire, l'écoutait d'un air bienveillant mais plutôt sceptique : - Je l'ai vu comme je vous vois !...

Je suis un ancien soldat... et je puis dire, sans me vanter, que je n'ai jamais eu peur, même lorsque, à Verdun, les marmites me tombaient sur la tête dru comme grêle... Eh bien ! je n'hésite pas à vous avouer que, rien que de penser à ce que j'ai vu la nuit dernière, dans la salle des Dieux barbares... cela me fait courir un frisson dans le dos et dresser mes cheveux sur ma tête ! - Quelle heure était-il quand ce phénomène s'est produit ? interrogeait le conservateur-adjoint. - Une heure du matin, monsieur Rabusson, répliquait le gardien. J'étais en train de faire ma ronde dans les salles du rez-de-chaussée qui donnent sur le bord de l'eau, lorsque, tout à coup, en arrivant dans la salle des Dieux barbares, j'aperçois une forme humaine qui, enveloppée d'un suaire noir et coiffée d'une sorte de capuchon, me tournait le dos et se tenait debout auprès de la statue de Belphégor...Arthur Bernède, né à Redon (Ille-et-Vilaine) le 5 janvier 1871 et mort à Paris le 20 mars 1937, est un romancier populaire français. Auteur très prolifique, il a publié près de 200 romans d'aventures et d'histoire et créé plusieurs centaines de personnages romanesques, dont certains, devenus très célèbres, tels que Belphégor, Judex et Mandrin, ont effacé leur créateur. Il a également mis en scène Vidocq, inspiré par les exploits de ce chef de la Sûreté haut en couleur. Il est également connu sous les noms de plume de Jean de la Périgne et de Roland d'Albret.

Download or read book The Mummy on Screen written by Basil Glynn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mummy is one of the most recognizable figures in horror and is as established in the popular imagination as virtually any other monster, yet the Mummy on screen has until now remained a largely overlooked figure in critical analysis of the cinema. In this compelling new study, Basil Glynn explores the history of the Mummy film, uncovering lost and half-forgotten movies along the way, revealing the cinematic Mummy to be an astonishingly diverse and protean figure with a myriad of on-screen incarnations. In the course of investigating the enduring appeal of this most 'Oriental' of monsters, Glynn traces the Mummy's development on screen from its roots in popular culture and silent cinema, through Universal Studios' Mummy movies of the 1930s and 40s, to Hammer Horror's re-imagining of the figure in the 1950s, and beyond.

SHOULD BE READ BY ANYONE WHO LOVES BOOKS' EVENING STANDARD Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. It makes people think you're dead. So begins Christopher Fowler's foray into the back catalogues and backstories of 99 authors who, once hugely popular, have all but disappeared from our shelves. Whether male or female, domestic or international, flash-in-the-pan or prolific, mega-seller or prize-winner - no author, it seems, can ever be fully immune from the fate of being forgotten. And Fowler, as well as remembering their careers, lifts the lid on their lives, and why they often stopped writing or disappeared from the public eye. These 99 journeys are punctuated by 12 short essays about faded once-favourites: including the now-vanished novels Walt Disney brought to the screen, the contemporary rivals of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie who did not stand the test of time, and the women who introduced us to psychological suspense many decades before it conquered the world. This is a book about books and their authors. It is for book lovers, and is written by one who could not be a more enthusiastic, enlightening and entertaining guide.

Download or read book The Mummy in Fact Fiction and Film written by Susan D. Cowie and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-08-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1922, when Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen, much of what was then known about mummies came from the writing of Greek historian Herodotus and from the paintings on the walls of Egyptian tombs. Even before 1922, the mummy had been the subject of fiction, with such writers as Bram Stoker and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tackling the subject, and early films dating back to 1901. In this work, the authors present the religious, social and scientific aspects of mummies as well as an in-depth discussion of facts about them (largely Egyptian, but including other kinds of mummies). Then, how mummies are portrayed in fiction and in the movies is discussed. Stories and films in which the mummy is a focal character are listed.

Download or read book Euro Horror written by Ian Olney and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the 1950s, "Euro Horror" movies materialized in astonishing numbers from Italy, Spain, and France and popped up in the US at rural drive-ins and urban grindhouse theaters such as those that once dotted New York's Times Square. Gorier, sexier, and stranger than most American horror films of the time, they were embraced by hardcore fans and denounced by critics as the worst kind of cinematic trash. In this volume, Olney explores some of the most popular genres of Euro Horror cinema—including giallo films, named for the yellow covers of Italian pulp fiction, the S&M horror film, and cannibal and zombie films—and develops a theory that explains their renewed appeal to audiences today.
