> [@Ranchoth](#): > > Well, I’ve got a couple of old favorite websites collecting [artistic representations](http://www.lamortdanslart.com/danse/dance.htm) of [death](http://www.westgatenecromantic.com/necrotic.htm), but I think what would really be more along the lines of what you’re looking for is the [SCP Foundation.](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-701) Try reading [SCP-701](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-701) for starters—don’t forget the [incident report](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/incident-report-scp70119971) and [document summary!](http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp7011640b1) I was doing fine with the SCP website till I got to the “Star Eyed Children” section, then I almost threw my laptop across the room. HOLY SHIT, BLACK EYED CHILDREN!:eek: ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I read through it…it was creepy, but I had a question: > > When Mark said that the house was the same–did he mean he’d found the scary Venus Fly Trap house where Lucy/John and Andrew had lived? Because I thought he was looking for Andrew’s rental house…wasn’t clear on that. That’s the creepy part. He was standing in front of a house in Idaho and it looked exactly the same as the house in Houston, even going so far as having identical fence damage. Andrew stayed in both, but Lucy/John were only in the Houston house. I’m not sure if that helped any, I’m not very good at explaining things. ---

A bloody maniac with an axe is standing over a decapitated woman - and looking back at you through the keyhole that you’re peering through. It’s the website of a guy who composes awesomely scary horror photographs, including a lot of makeup work and some photo tricks. Children are participants in some of these. His linked blog has some explanations about how certain photos were composed. ---

> [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > Now I’m afraid to look at it. ☹ Well, this starts off with the exact same photo, but [here’s a direct link to his blog post](http://joshuahoffine.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/making-keyhole/) on the “making of” for this image. It shows a lot of prop and makeup work, the real guy behind the made-over maniac, etc., so I think it does a lot to make the shot easier to look at. ---

I looked at all the pictures and totally came close to realizing that this guy KNOWS what my nightmares are made of and nearly panicked. After seeing the “making of” (for a bunch of them) with the smiling “killer” and happy little girl, I felt way better. It really was creepy, though, seeing them at first. Especially at night. ---

Last year, or maybe the year before, Joshua Hoffine started having monthly sales of some of his prints in the months before Halloween; I should’ve bought some then. There’s always hope that he’ll run another sale. Creepiest detail, to me: look at image #04 in his portfolio, titled “Bed”. By the hands, there are two groups of blocks arranged into words: DADDY and NO. ---

I didn’t want to look at the pictures alone so I made my ten-year old sister look at them with me. Her laughter made them easier to deal with. 🙂 ---
