Happy Halloween!
…. So, you know that feeling when you go into the kitchen late at night and all of a sudden you get a sense that there’s somebody else there, and you turn around and see this looking through the window from the porch?:
CONTINUED —>>
… and suddenly he’s standing in the doorway and blocking your exit, and he’s like some sinister undead guy with blood all over him? :
…. and next thing you know he’s right on top of you and there’s this life and death struggle? :
…. and finally you manage to save your life by using every bit of energy in your body and there he is lying on the floor — dead … but can you really kill someone who is already dead so will he get all undead again and get you? You know, when that happens?
…. Don’t you just hate that?

I’m glad I didn’t take the grandkids to this house!
Good to “see” you again, Aaron.
May
BTW..I especially like the first one with the shadowey face on the right side…very cool!
such incredible originality! Somehow this all works..even though the pictures could be a bit frightening..here it works well!
I do hate that! Why, it happened to me just the other night, but it turned out to be my hubby. Ummm… Guess I should clean up the mess… :~)
Ahhh, such a delightful take on the night when the veil lifts between the 2 worlds….altho’, I do think some people were confused by the “Fall back: time change….? :/
Hahaha! Aaron, these are the most compelling halloween images ever! And I second Fudgies comment, as well as all the above said!
terrifying but somehow magnificent in its horror
A messy Ghoul usually always makes the best meals!!!
I know! I really, really hate that. I think the government is to blame.
May I be the…er…fourth person to congratulate you on a fine Halloween series. John’s entry looks pathetic compared to your superb grasp to the ghoulish nature of Hallowe’en. A riotous romp through the vicisitudes of Parentalia as it were. In a word, magnificent.
Que tingueu una bona castanyada i passeu un bon Tots Sants. Happy Halloween!
This happens to me every night when I am going to the refrigerator to look for a yogurt! I am full with killing him and that he turns every night… in the end, believe that we will make friends because lately he already begins explaining it to me hard that is his life…
Terrifying stuff Aaron! I do just really hate it when that happens in my kitchen!So messy!! Beautifully done of course.
Inspirational! Happy Halloween to all at Aamora.

Fun.
Inspiration.
What happens next….. you stole his shoes!
Happy Halloween!
