I dont have anything new that's scary but I love scary photos so I want to add to this thread. How fun!

I met Paris Hilton a couple of years ago in Oaxaca, Mexico. She's quite scary. Got a photo of her though.

Pinhole and cemeteries do go together quite well!

There are times when the VUWS comes in handy ...

And a reversed lens on a Bencini Koroll S is just as good.

Great thread. An old one from me....but one of my faves.

These are all so wonderful!!! And Ed, I just saw that pic in the galleries section. I never saw all of that work of yours before. Its so amazing!!!

sapata · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2011, 12:35:52 AM »

Really like everyone's pictures! I'm enjoying a lot the cemeteries photographs.
It's also amazing to see Paris Hilton wearing no makeup at all... that's the spirit of the Halloween!

*Erin - I love it!

*Leon - Stellar haunting capture!

*Ed - the much feared, rarely photographed scary reindeer girl that appears on under the cover of pumpkin skies!

What a good idea . . .

this from about 14 years ago, not that scary though

Those trees look like they're having a quiet conflab; plotting their evil takeover strategy.

Arachnophobia 101: attack of the giant spider from outer space!

The scariest thing I've ever put on film sometime in the 1990's

Love that image Ed...this is a Holga image from last year in Ecuador...Chugchilan I believe, high in the Andes.

Francois, that 'spider' is certainly the creepiest thing so far!

Yes it's digital (sorry) but I just had to post this. It was Halloween, I was about to take a picture of that shop for my shopfront series and that guy walked out of the door!

How often does it work like that!

Funny 'cause it's anything but

I still don't know why I loved those plastic critters so much when I was a kid

Gorgeous, these last 2 images Andra and Chris A Fraser!!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #32 on:** October 26, 2011, 07:16:05 PM »

Ann, I love your second and Andrea, great one.

Mojave · « **Reply #33 on:** October 26, 2011, 08:04:02 PM »

Ann, wonderful shots! That first one scares me the most. Its the mystery of not knowing what is behind the door and why part of it was left out. It really builds tension. Love that!

Andrea and Chris, wonderful and scary and romantic too.

charles binns · « **Reply #34 on:** October 26, 2011, 08:15:21 PM »

Not quite ghouls or ghosties but if you came across any of this lot rampaging through your back garden you'd be mighty scared.

Shot with a Nishika n8000. Vincent Price's favourite camera.

Oh ann ... the last one... reminds me the sleeves of the band "Opeth". Brilliant!

Charles, I think it is quite fascinating how such a minuscule movement can give the illusion of 3D.

original_ann · « **Reply #37 on:** October 27, 2011, 12:38:42 AM »

great covers, Sapata!

Thanks all! Halloween is fun

Jojonas, I have never seen a light so covered in spiderwebs like that. Very creepy!!!

Nice new editions all! Love those birds, and Seans severed head, and the creepy doll too.

talking of spider webs - has anyone seen these from Pakistan during the floods? Madness!

moominsean · « **Reply #48 on:** October 31, 2011, 08:19:07 PM »

not sure that's actually spiders, or "tent worms" doing that work. still gross. somewhere online there is a photo series from i think a college campus that has a tent worm invasion and everything was covered, including bikes and cars.

Francois · « **Reply #49 on:** October 31, 2011, 09:36:26 PM »

Just seeing that, I know a few people that would definitely freak-out!

Just imagine the size of the twirling stick once you've removed all this silk
