  The Unholy Trinity is a monumental Serialist Masterpiece by Brent Doty that chronicles the rise of 1980s slasher cinema through its three most enduring icons: Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Leatherface. Executed as a large-scale triptych, the painting assembles layered film references, visual fragments, and cultural symbolism into a unified narrative of fear, mythology, and mass entertainment.
 
  His serialist method mirrors the structure of the genre itself—recurring characters, escalating tension, and repetition across sequels and decades. Each panel functions as an individual portrait while contributing to a larger cultural history, tracing how these characters shaped horror aesthetics, audience psychology, and the visual language of popular cinema. The work transforms exploitation-era imagery into a refined contemporary art statement rooted in storytelling and cultural memory.
 
  The Unholy Trinity is designed for collectors who appreciate cinematic history, bold scale, and immersive visual impact. Ideal for female collectors, corporate environments, interior designers, private screening rooms, and luxury condo spaces, the triptych operates as a commanding focal point and an investment-grade artwork—iconic, provocative, and culturally significant.
