RSSDisturbing photographs recreate your earliest nightmares
Monsters under the bed. Monsters disguised as adults. Ghouls reaching out for you through the cellar stairs. The remains of victims waiting to shock you in the fridge. These are the sorts of things Joshua Hoffine’s photographs explore, with his own daughters posing, frozen in mid-scream, in many of them.
Fangoria writes:
The photos contain some familiar iconography (scary clown, candy-bearing witch, cartoonish red devil, a half-buried hag that will look familiar to any Evil Dead fan), but the minutiae and compositions have a sneaky way of guiding the eye and surprising you. Spend several minutes staring at “Wolf,” a distressing action shot of a screaming half-naked child crouched on a staircase as a snarling wolf bears down upon her, and you finally notice the male human hand in place of a front paw.
You can pick up most of the photos in the series in 13 x 13″ sizes for $50 apiece, which is a great price for some original artwork.
