Suppose, indeed! What a horrifying thought! That element White Adidas Hat of horror was something }i~ek picked up on in Lacan s account of the lamella, leading him to make the leap between the psychoanalytical concept (the lamella represented for Lacan the libido or the  death drive ) and the horror genre. For }i~ek, the lamella  indivisible, indestructible, and immortal, an  entity of pure surface& first heard as a shrilling sound, and then [popping] up as a monstrously distorted body  is undead , possessed not of a  sublime spiritual immortality but rather the  obscene immortality of a zombie.

It is a creature which cannot die; it recomposes itself in the face of violence and clumsily staggers on. It is unstoppable, a representation of  an uncanny excess of life ; it is the urge to persist beyond the natural cycle of generation and corruption. }i~ek memorably compares the lamella to the face hugger in Ridley Scott s Alien , an indestructible creature which multiplies when it is cut into pieces, and whose extra flat body can suddenly fly up and Adidas Golf Hat envelop your face:  In it, he writes,  pure evil animality overlaps with machinic blind insistence. Here we might return to that classic ghost story I mentioned at the beginning of the essay:  Oh, Whistle and I ll Come to You, My Lad by M. R. James, a tale with a rather similar uncanny presence.

When Professor Parkins arrives for Adidas Denim Hat an off season visit at a seaside hotel, he wanders into the vicinity of a ruined Templars s church where he discovers an ancient whistle engraved with the words QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT (Who is this who is coming?). The sound of the whistle fascinates Parkins, but as he sleeps he is haunted by a terrifying vision of a long stretch of shore, absent of any distinguishing features except a man, fleeing.For all intents and purposes, the monstrous apparition of James s story possesses the very same qualities as the Specialist s hat: it is formless and flat, nothing more than crumpled linen and yet somehow indestructible, indescribable and intensely horrible.

Like the lamella, it emits a strange noise, and it can move at a terrifying speed. Black Adidas Hat It unsettles because its lack of form speaks to its monstrous immortality; how would you destroy such an entity? Is it even possible? What is it? If we return to the inscription on the whistle, we discover our question is only repeated back to us: Quis est ? Who is this?Is it their father who has come for them? Or is it, as the babysitter suggests, the Specialist? And is this what we find terrifying in the story: the disappearance of the father, his replacement by a simulacrum, almost identical, someone who pretends to love them but who is fundamentally a stranger? Quis est? Perhaps this is part of the terror, but it isn t everything.

It is truly disturbing, }i~ek might say, because it represents the intersection between the imaginary and the Real; it reveals the Real in its most terrifying dimension as the primordial abyss which dissolves all identities and swallows everything. This concept of the Real will be familiar to readers of weird fiction. It is represented in a range of literary guises from Poe s maelstrom to the horror at the end of Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness to Lovecraft s elder god Cthulhu, a creature who presents such a dangerous vision of the universe that he cannot be seen without causing madness: The Specialist s Hat terrifies us in much the same way that Lovecraft terrifies us: it hints at an encounter with something which is beyond the realm of our experience  death  and yet which is simultaneously so deeply embedded in our own nature that Pink Adidas Hat it is always already there .
