Squee Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 This is quite interesting... Quote That is no CGI arm reaching into this frightened girl's bedtime room. It's a flesh-and-blood creature whose hideous claws and shocking maw are real enough to touch. This "horror photograph" is one of many created by Joshua Hoffine, who uses the tools of old-fashioned Hollywood - set design, makeup, and actors - to create his tableaux of terror. He uses no Photoshopperie, except what's required to slightly retouch the colors in the images. It also makes me want to ask, what was your worst childhood nightmare?

Ego Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Edit Hide Delete Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) This is pretty old, but I like them a lot. I remember 2 returning nightmares from my childhood. The mummy in some Tintin movie and comic book: The other is Panoramix (or Getafix in English) from Asterix becoming a mad weirdo after getting hit by a rock. Really freaked me out as a child.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I used to be horribly afraid of some owl like creature with claws and a huge beak and enormous eyes that was able to control my thoughts and would come to kill me if I didn't comply. It fucked with me pretty badly. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/45425-childhood-nightmares-visualized/#findComment-1034008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rambo Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) i had a dream 2 nights ago where i was getting sexy with a girl i used to go to school with in the school toilets and i saw myself in the mirror and it woke me up (lucid dream) so naturally i carried on where i left off with this girl and then there was this creature in her mouth just like that picture that yegg posted on the nature is IDM thread. Not really a nightmare but it was grim. edit.

Squee Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 As a kid I had a nanny who I was kind of scared of. At least just a bit. She had some very special facial features and she was kind of big/fat. My worst nightmare as a kid was actually about her. I dreamt that I was waiting for her to pick me up at my daycare and when she finally showed up it wasn't her. It looked like her and sounded like her but I just knew it wasn't her. The person who had showed up looked like a man but no one could see that except me. Many years later I watched Lost Highway and the clip at 1:37 reminded me of this nightmare. Still scares the living shit out me. Yegg said: I would always imagine seeing something like this outside the car window whenever we drove in rural areas at night. Fuck me, that's nasty. Faces are able to scare me unlike anything else.
