Wolf Head - creation of the talented Gwen Howarth. I am just a bit biased.

Spotted this Banana spider or Golden silk orb-weaver, weaving his way up the wall.

EDIT: WHOOPS! This is a Professor Snape outfit from Prisoner of Azkaban when he was filling in as the dark arts instructor. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/89/af/6a/89af6a3523ce6d0a0bb1a986eedadbb1.jpg

This was a tough shot to get...fast moving crowd, very tough lighting, super dark, but I wanted to maximize the catch light in her eyes while slowing the shutter just enough to give a little blur to her hands as she "cast her spell". Taken inside one of the Knott's Scary Farm mazes.

I've been wanting to do an unique edit to these skulls. I think I've achieved it!

Shrunken skulls upon a pike,
Just to give you a little fright.
Stare into these colorless orbs
And feel the magic as it absorbs -
your soul...it's lost
your will is gone
Get ready for the great beyond...

Finally persuaded my model/daughter that it was all worth it ;-)

Dark, ominous, eerie, spooky...would you dare to all through these woods? I did to shoot the image! 😆😝

The way this huge limb had fallen away from the tree and in the manner in which it rested, struck as it was a portal into another dimension, time or place.

Here's a double feature...a #spookychallenge entry and a #storybehindtheshot image...
This was taken during a backstage tour at Knott's Scary Farm this year, 2015. This particular maze was centered around the "Tooth Fairy"...it began in a child's room and then wound through the lair of a particularly wicked tooth fairy who would take more than children's fallen teeth. "Victims" were taken as well, and turned into "fairies", only not your average glitter and rainbows genre. Of all the mazes at Knott's, this is one that they have had for several years and one that is continually improved upon. Spooky isn't quite the word for what it feels to walk through this thing with all of the decoration and costumed actors jumping out at you along the way. I'm not easily scared, but this was an unnerving experience. Of course, I loved it :)

It may not be spooky, but it certainly scares lots of people

I gave this tunnel of trees a very dark edit by increasing the contrast and shadows whilst decreasing highlights and brightness to create the feel of walking down an eerie path.

Pull up a chair and grab a cup...it's Halloween Tea Party Time!

Thinking of the cartoon series, "Gargoyles" and movie, "Hunchback of Notre Dame", this night shot made me think of gargoyles as living beings perched between heaven and earth to rescue mankind from itself. This was taken with a Sony Alpha58 DSLR, during a pre-cruise night walk near the University of Venice and Basilica Maria d' Salut, Basilica of Praise to Saint Mary, while trying to learn the capabilities of a new tech-toy. Found the in camera HDR process could produce interesting low light results.

This is the feral cat that adopted us many years ago when it took up residence in the box over my little toolshed outside.. and there its lived since.

I was on a mission today to find a setting that epitomises spookiness. What better place than a Cemetary. People are just dying to get in there...

To enhance the creepiness of this building, I choose to shoot from a side angle to emphasise shadows and give it the appearances of being haunted! Beware..,you're being watched.
