Description "An Urban legend states, that if you shudder for no reason at all, then someone has just walked over the spot where you'll eventually be buried"...Pretty creepy huh?

Anyway, This is my submission for the =TreesClub Halloween contest where you had to produce a Halloween-themed deviation that involved the tree being the main focus. Nearly all the entries were photography so I though and hope this would stand out from the crowd, and the idea expressed is pretty self explanatory.

To be Honest, Halloween isn’t a big deal in Australia, last year our house got no trick-or-treaters, and the year before that, only 2. Even I wasn’t allowed to do it as a kid unless my mother came with me and my younger brother, even then, we’d only visit half a neighbourhood…at 5pm which is still daylight at this time of the year ( Southern hemisphere means Halloween is in Spring ) So having little Halloween experience means I never cared enough about it to make one for last year, and if it weren’t for this contest, I may not have done this either but it sparked this image in my head which I just HAD to do…Yeah, it may not look scary like a Macabre and Horror deviation should, but when am I going to get to use this category for my gallery. Hope you enjoy it mwah ha ha ha ha ( walks off into creepy mist to work on the next deviation )

WooHoo!...This is my first deviation to earn more than 100 faves in its first 24 hours...ThankYou all so much !

WooHoo again, This came first place in the clubs first contest !

To avoid something really scary, I bid you do not rip my art. It'll save us all a lot of time and its just wrong

Yeah, Australia is a bit dull when it comes to this season. Though I guess its more enjoyable for kids anyway.

Good stuff on this one. Colors and mood are really well portrayed (especially in the moon/pumpkins etc). Spooky halloween stuff is always cool, nicely done.

Orange and black are always the best candidates for Halloween colours in art. Glad you think so too.

Halloween sux over here, too. In good ol' U S of A... land of the tax payers, home of the stupid. But I still love Halloween, nothing like a good Tim Burton movie ^.^

Awesome! I love the tree, pumpkins, moon, etc. Beautiful! ... I think I'm gonna cry... TToTT Big Lovely !

Chromattix In reply to Lina-Trinch [2007-10-27 02:26:53 +0000 UTC]

Really? I thought it was really hyped in the USA, but maybe in some areas it's more celebrated than others. We pay tax in Australia too and ( in this town anyway ) we have our fair share of drunken hicks.

Glad you like this one so much !

Actually, this state (Louisiana) is the hype for Halloween throughout the nation (Baton Rouge, New Orleans, etc.). I just been to all of them & know every trick... it's just not very fun anymore unless your rich, then you can go make a haunted house or something. Other than that, I plan to give out candy to the 2-3 kids that'll come & go to bed. Hopefully I can watch Saw 4 this weekend O.O hehe... anyway... AWESOME PIC!
