Z for Zombie
Freaks A-Z. Letter "Z"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
The figure of the zombie has appeared several times in fantasy themed fiction, as early as the 1929 novel The Magic Island by William Seabrook. Time claimed that the book introduced Zombie into U.S. speech. In 1932, Victor Halperin directed White Zombie, This film, capitalizing on the same voodoo zombie themes as Seabrook's book of three years prior, is often regarded as the first legitimate zombie film ever made, and introduced the word "zombie" to the wider world.
A new version of the zombie is distinct from that described in Haitian religion, has also emerged in popular culture in recent decades. It is taken largely from George A. Romero's seminal film The Night of the Living Dead, which was in turn partly inspired by Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend. The word zombie is not used in Night of the Living Dead, but was applied later by fans. The monsters in the film and its sequels, such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, as well as its many inspired works, such as Return of the Living Dead and Zombie 2, are usually hungry for human flesh although Return of the Living Dead introduced the popular concept of zombies eating brains. Sometimes they are victims of a fictional pandemic illness causing the dead to reanimate or the living to behave this way, but often no cause is given in the story.
殭屍的形象出現在幻想小說為時已久,早在1929年,Seabrook的小說魔島中就出現了。時代雜誌聲稱這本書將殭屍一詞帶入美國會話中。1932年, Victor Halperin 執導的恐怖片白殭屍善用了Seabrook書中的巫毒殭屍主題,此片被認定為第一個合法的殭屍電影並將殭屍一詞傳遍世界。
近十年來,新版本的殭屍則不同於海地的宗教信仰,出現於流行文化當中。此版殭屍大量取材於George A. Romero的開創性電影活死人之夜(啟發於1954年Richard Matheson的小說我是傳奇)。殭屍這個詞並未出現在活死人之夜,卻被影迷廣泛的運用。此片中的怪物和它的續集激發了很多作品的靈感,如活死人的回歸與殭屍2中,殭屍渴求人肉(活死人的歸來中推出的概念為殭屍吃大腦)。設定裡殭屍是流行疾病的犧牲者,復活後的他們只能以此種方式繼續生存。

Y for Yig
Freaks A-Z. Letter "Y"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
Yig, the God of snakes, described as a snake-head man and scales over the body, as shown in the alias of "father" of all the snakes, he can freely summon and control snakes. Yig is also the prototype of Quetzalcoatl in the Aztecs' faith. He awarded the knowledge of venom to those respect the snake, and even the ability to dialogue with snakes. If someone ruthless persecution to snakes, he will cursed into a snake.
People today might thought he is the false god in the Cthulhu Mythos, but in the ancient times, the snake regarded as a symbol of regeneration and vitality. solely normalized Yig as the false god is the arrogance of modern people!
司掌諸蛇的神,外型被描繪為蛇頭人身、遍體麟片的壯碩男子。正如"眾蛇之父"的別名所示,他能自由招喚控制蛇類;據說也是阿茲提克蛇神魁扎爾科亞特爾的原型。對於敬重蛇者溫和寬厚,甚至會授予蛇毒的知識、與蛇對話之能力;對迫害蛇的存在冷酷無情者,有時會將其變為蛇。在群蛇飢餓的秋季他會變為粗暴的災神.
由現代人的觀念會由蛇神的外表認為他是邪神,但自古以來許多民族將蛇視作為再生與生命力的象徵,單單只將其歸作邪神可謂是現代人的傲慢!

L for Lucifer
Freaks A-Z. Letter "L"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
Traditionally, Lucifer is a name that in English generally refers to the Devil or Satan before being cast from Heaven, although this is not the original meaning of the term. In Latin, from which the English word is derived, Lucifer (as a noun) means "light-bearer" (from the words lucem ferre). It was the name given to the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, which heralds daylight. For this meaning, English generally uses the names "Morning Star" or "Day Star", and rarely "Lucifer".
Use of the name "Lucifer" for the Devil stems from applying to the Devil what Isaiah 14:3–20 says of a king of Babylon whom it calls Helel, a Hebrew word that refers to the Day Star or Morning Star (the Latin term for which is lucifer In 2 Peter 1:19 and elsewhere, the same Latin word lucifer is used to refer to the Morning Star, with no relation to the Devil. In Revelation 22:16, Jesus himself is called the Morning Star, but not "Lucifer", even in Latin.

J for Jason
Freaks A-Z. Letter "J"
Size: 210mm x 297mm
Material:Charcoal pen
Jason Voorhees is a fictional character from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980), as the young son of camp cook-turned-murderer, Mrs. Voorhees, in which he was portrayed by Ari Lehman. Created by Victor Miller, with contributions by Ron Kurz, Sean S. Cunningham, and Tom Savini, Jason was not originally intended to carry the series as the main antagonist. The character has subsequently been represented in various other media, including novels, comic books, and a cross-over film with another iconic horror film character, Freddy Krueger.
The character has primarily been an antagonist in the films, whether by stalking and killing the characters, or acting as a psychological threat to the lead character, as is the case in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. Since Lehman's portrayal, the character has been represented by numerous actors and stuntmen, sometimes by more than one at a time; this has caused some controversy as to who should receive credit for the portrayal. Kane Hodder is the best known of the stuntmen to portray Jason Voorhees, having played the character in four consecutive films.

Freaks A-Z. Letter "G"

The griffin, is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions. Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia, in present day southeastern Kazakhstan. In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.Some have suggested that the word griffin is cognate with Cherub.
