"The Narcissist" is a humorous and macabre painting by Dave MacDowell, featuring a group of iconic horror movie characters taking a selfie. The ghoulish figures, each recognizable from their respective films, pose with exaggerated expressions while holding a pink Ouija board in front of the camera. This contemporary artwork playfully subverts the genre's conventions, highlighting the pervasive presence of social media even in the realms of fear and the supernatural. The vibrant colors and cartoonish style further add to the work's lighthearted tone.
