The S From Hell from Rodney Ascher on Vimeo.
“The S From Hell” by Rodney Ascher is a darling short documentary about a logo, a minimalist synthesizer arrangement, innocent children, and what has amounted to a legacy of terror. Apparently.
Irrational fears are great fun if you don’t have them but have friends or family who are willing to confide theirs to you. This truth certainly makes ‘The S From Hell’ fun to view, and the film definitely had me laughing aloud the first viewing, but the second time, I felt much more sympathetic to the people reliving their childhood terror.
If you’re eagle-eyed enough to remember the briefest images of analog audio technology in videos I’ve posted before, this film contains footage from the Delia Derbyshire segment of Alchemists of Sound.
