![]() ![]() Naturism is synonymous to nudism, with the emphasis placed on being naked outdoors, that is in nature. Nudism essentially involves the activity of being naked in a public place, for arguably most people are naked on occasions, in private, as they wash themselves and dress. (The sight of it as an object stimulates the use of it as an object.) Nakedness reveals itself. A naked body has to be seen as an object in order to become a nude. To be nude is to be seen naked by others and yet not recognized for oneself. Drawing upon this, John Berger in Ways of Seeing (1972) asserts: This distinction was emphasised by Sir Kenneth Clark in his The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form (1956). Contrarily, a naked person is simply a person unadorned, without clothes. This can be appreciated in respect of art history where the nude model poses before the artist as he fashions his representation. ![]() First, nude as in nudity is performative.

These were all stylish horror films, but only one of them was an out-and-out comedy and that was The Raven. Knowing a good thing when he saw it, he followed with more inspired-by Poe films, including The Pit and the Pendulum, The Premature Burial, Tales Of Terror, The Raven, The Haunted Palace, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Tomb of Ligeia. In 1960, Roger Corman made House of Usher, the first of his inspired-by Edgar Allan Poe films, and it was an exploitation sensation, playing to packed houses and packed cars at drive-ins.
