a batlike ghoul creature is lunging out of the darkness of a cave structure; the phone's flash is on, so he is illuminated like a jumpscare in a found footage film.

the same batlike ghoul gazes into a green glowing crystal; the green is the main lighting, and causes the photo to be strangely illuminated. it's also inexplicably tilted to the right 90 degrees.

the batlike ghoul stands in harsh purple lighting, leaning against an aged stone wall. he's throwing up the horns and looking down at them. it's all very rock and roll.

the notorious batlike ghoul leans against what could be the wall of a sunken church a la the lost boys; the lighting here is blue and eerie, but he's nonchalant in his leaning.

we got to take cursed tipsy photos in the caves at the city museum later that night, highly recommend. #sfx #prostheticmakeup #sfxmakeup #haunt #hauntmakeup

an alien.

this season we did #aliens but didn't want to do "aliens" so we used inspo from a lot of textures and machines and rust and #Giger. It was extra tough because it's #haunt, which in means less than 10 minutes for most looks; this one had the luxury of about 15 mins.
