The only thing more iconic than our favorite slashers is their respective settings.
Freddy Krueger wouldn’t be himself without dark boiler rooms and lengthy corridors. Jason Voorhees wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for the cold Crystal Lake, the forestry, and the abandoned campgrounds.
And who could forget Leatherface’s homestead, sitting all alone in a rural location; only to be seen by the rarest of travelers.
Well, photographer Jason Shaltz decided to test these slashers and their settings, and threw them into everyday scenarios. Using models in costumes, he took their photographs across New York City:
Further explaining the project, Shaltz had this to say:
“Although their extra-curricular activities are generally frowned upon by society, they’ve managed to win the hearts of millions of fans globally. Ironically, it seems like they can truly do no harm to their reputation, navigating the press and media unscathed and forever glorified. But what goes on during non-business hours for these folks? When they aren’t hanging co-eds on meat hooks or making human kebobs from teenage camp counselors, where are they? What are they doing?”
