It's like Salvador Dali...
It's like Salvador Dali came into the gospel and painted a story -- Salvador Dali, of the dripping clocks and other surreal paintings. On one level, Dali's paintings seem comical, absurd even. The subjects are ridiculous -- clocks melting in the sun, faces floating like balloons, trees shaped like heads, characters twisted into impossible contortions. But on another level, the images are disturbing -- maybe terrifying. The grotesqueness of the figures unsettles something inside the viewer. These things are absurd but in the way that Tales from the Crypt might be absurd.
