The other Halloween

What it is

A horror render studio for adults. You bring one photograph of your own face, or your dog or cat, and the engine paints it into one of twenty-four styles: the one-sheet outside the drive-in, the tape the rental shop kept behind the counter, the photograph that should not have developed. The one you keep is printed on paper, canvas or a garment, up to 40 × 60″.

The walls also carry the Nightfables collection: fourteen legends, one hundred and twenty-six finished pieces, no upload needed.

What it refuses

Cute. Children. Blood, gore and cruelty: the dread comes from the light and the era, never from an injury. An animal is always the monster on the bill and never the prey. And other people’s film titles, studios and famous faces on a poster we print.
