Creature Feature - A Bradford Halloween Special

[silverbellelj]

(Posted early because of the very real possibility of me not having power/internet later. Stupid fall snowstorm).

This photo shoot came about because of my desire to play around with some of the supernaturals that I don’t get to use on a regular basis because of the nature of my legacy. So, in honor of All Hallows Eve, please enjoy the mythicals and monsters I’ve created. Cookies if you can guess who’s who.



Only bad witches are ugly.
-The Wizard of Oz












**********

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
--Macbeth, Act IV, scene i












**********

I beheld the wretch — the miserable monster whom I had created.
Frankenstein, Mary Shelley












**********

The lawn
Is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return
Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn,
The sad intangible who grieve and yearn....
--“To Walter de la Mare,” T.S. Eliot












**********

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
--George Carlin












**********

Listen to them - children of the night. What music they make.”
--Dracula, Bram Stoker












**********

All you have to do is walk up to a house, ring the doorbell and say "Tricks or treats."
--It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

From myself and the Bradfords, have a Happy Halloween!

Totally recognized Matthew and Jan as the evil witch and zombie! And I'm assuming that that's Jefferson and Marsha as the mad scientist and bride of Frankenstein monster? Oh are the good witches Henri, Philly, and Meadow? :D

But very nice pictures. The ghost ones were both heartbreaking and heartwarming (if that made any sense XD.)

Yup, Matthew and Jan are the evil witch and zombie, Jefferson is the mad scientist and Marsha the bride of Frankenstein, and the Good Witches are Henri, Phily, and Meadow. :D

Thank you! I had a lot of fun shooting these (and then picking out the ones I wanted to use). What you said about the ghost pictures makes total sense, and I'm glad I was able to evoke that from you.
