BORIS KARLOFF

Boris Karloff is a collective phantom, a name that anyone can use, a connection to the general intellect, a resistance to zombie culture...

The Hammer House of Horror is an electronic mailing list, a speculative playground that creates its own mythologies and complex patterns, eventually transforming itself into a self-reflexive perpetuum mobile. Hammer House residents regularly make use of fake names. One of the more commonly utilised is 'Boris Karloff', "a name that anyone can use". Included in the signature to Hammer House of Horror email is the following declaration,
"The non-existence of this Hammer House of Horror is guaranteed by a multiplicity of discords, paradoxes and contradictions.
Listen carefully to these tangled plots and you may hear a new world".
