We discussed the main points of both of our movies and quickly decided that our paranormal movie and icon should be based on the story of Frankenstein because of the relation to body modification surgeries in American Mary and the element of physical glamour and fantasy in Velvet Goldmine. Then we deduced that both had strong elements of “fuck you” society and it was pretty simple from there to choose the icons for each movie.
