Behind the Horror
Experience the world of horror movies like no other. Tokyo Dome City Gallery AaMo invites guests through movie sets and enjoy the sculptural art of horror films.
Unlike a haunted house, the concept of this exhibition is to allow visitors to actually see, photograph and touch the world of horror-themed film art. The exhibition has been touring across Japan and has attracted over 80,000 total visitors. Now it’s coming to Tokyo with newly added content.
This exhibition focuses on the art direction of Japanese horror films, which have gained immense popularity and acclaim worldwide. All of the artworks in the venue were created by art directors who have been active in the Japanese film industry for many years. Film art incorporates various mechanisms and ingenuity that are not always entirely visible on screen. Sadly, film art is usually destroyed once filming is complete, but this exhibition offers a chance to showcases and celebrates such artworks that make horror come to life.
