One of our favorite museum exhibitions in Los Angeles this Fall\u00a0has to be LACMA’s\u00a0Guillermo del Toro: At Home With Monsters<\/a>. The exhibit features the massive collection of film artifacts & inspiration of cinema virtuoso & monster\/horror\/fantasy enthusiast, Guillermo del Toro.<\/p>\n

Notre\u00a0G\u00a0Pen Elite<\/a>\u00a0s'est joint \u00e0 nous pour le plaisir & l'excitation, aiguisant nos perceptions comme toujours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Upon entry of the first room, we were greeted by a uncannily realistic wax statue of\u00a0<\/em>Fauno (du\u00a0Labyrinthe de Pan).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Rather than a chronological layout of the artist’s career and filmography, the exhibit is separated into themes & motifs that have been influential to Guillermo since he was young.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everything in the exhibit is from a house that exclusively harbors Guillermo’s collection. In an interview with Time, he said\u00a0\u00a0“As a kid, I dreamed of having a house with secret passages and a room where it rained 24 hours a day. The point of being over 40 is to fulfill the desires you’ve been harboring since you were 7.”<\/span><\/p>\n

de Mary Shelly Frankenstein <\/em>is\u00a0Guillermo’s favorite book. Although we can only hope his aspirations to do a Frankenstein\u00a0<\/em>movie will come to life, this scene paying homage to the scientist, monster and monster’s bride was one of our favorites.<\/p>\n

A tribute to Ray Harryhausen, one of Del Toro’s most admired film icons &\u00a0stop-motion animators. Skeleton puppets from\u00a0<\/em>le film\u00a0Jason et les Argonautes\u00a0<\/em>l'aident avec du lait et des biscuits.<\/p>\n\n

On the other side of the room, a short black & white film Guillermo made himself for TV series\u00a0The Strain\u00a0<\/em>is available for viewing. We won’t ruin it for you but it involves wrestling\u00a0&\u00a0vampires…<\/p>\n

Une sc\u00e8ne rendant hommage au l\u00e9gendaire\u00a0Freaks<\/em>\u00a0reminds us not all horror movie villains are evil, in fact a lot of the time merely misunderstood. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Be sure to stop by LACMA by November 27th to explore the immense treasury. Due to the high turn out for the exhibit, we recommend booking tickets in advance.<\/p>\n
