HAPPY HALLOWEEN

While I have done my fair share of Michael Myers and Halloween related photoshoots (which you will quickly soon find out by delving deeper into this site) this year I decided to challenge myself and create 31 photos or images in the 31 days of October, dubbing it “A True Horror October”. I knew that some photos would be quick fixes while I worked and shot others that I would put alot of effort and time into. I also knew that I needed the perfect photo for that magical night of October 31st, Halloween. So it seemed a no brainer to up the ante from my previous Myers photos (which can be seen below) So in talking with my friends, I mentioned it would be great to get some kids into the mix to play up the babysitter aspect I have had yet to do. Luckily my friend Natalie got back to me and mentioned she had some kids we could borrow! Turns out the kids parents were into Halloween just as much as I was and were happy to have them participate and be included. This was another shoot where I had alot of fun decorating and “set dressing” so to speak(dollar tree is good for something!). The kids were great, they were excited to do it, fun and easy to work with and enjoyed carving a pumpkin and eating candy while they waited for me to prep everything. Once Again my go to guy to play Michael Myers, my friend Stefano donned the mask and did an even better job than before at portraying the evasive shape. In the end, it turned out to be pretty close to how I envisioned it, I did attempt to make it a bit darker but it just wasnt working as well for me so I went with the version you see above. I have also posted a bonus photo since Natalie is actually terrified of Michael Myers and I was proud of her for participating and facing her fear.
