Creative design studio Exopolis has crafted a dark and atmospheric experience to capture the horror and mystery surrounding the bizarre murder of Elizabeth Short in 1947 for the upcoming movie The Black Dahila.
The site offers an 'experiential' track, allowing users to click on various locations from the film on a stylized map – which bring up a short video clip and dramatic key art to give users a sample of the world of The Black Dahlia.
“LA Then & Now,” overlays period and comtemporary photos to show how much and how little the city has changed. Users seeking “The Real Story” are clued into the actual events surrounding Elizabeth Short's murder, with excerpts from FBI case files and a timeline of the victim's tragically brief life.
“Dark LA” recreates a newsreel from the late 1940's, and explores the dark side of LA's history – the infamous bombings, riots and murders – culminating in the Black Dahlia case. (see previous post here)
