A frame from a 1940s Gothic Laboratory Horror film, captured on Eastman Plus-X 1231 black-and-white stock. The heavy chiaroscuro lighting crushes the deep shadows of the stone laboratory, while intense light from a barred window blooms wildly over the lens. Underexposed and thick with era-true grain, the image carries the stark, high-contrast dread of mid-century cinema.
