Description As a kid I always hated basements. Something about the huge empty void of pitch black, where all your hairs stand on end and if anything touches you, that's the end of it. This piece is inspired by that terrible time when you have to reach and grasp for a pull-chain for the light. As much as I hated the dark in basements, the only thing I dreaded more was what I might see standing there with me when the lights finally came on.

It has to be said that I did this piece entirely while listening to Joseph Bishara's excellent soundtrack to Insidious. Gave me the willies!

I likedΒ the picture, but the description, I LOVED the description! You really captured the fear that many of us(at least what I) feel.

I couldn't even lift my arm to turn on the basement light with out covering my armpit for fear of some creature tickling me in those dark spaces.
I love this piece of work, it has the same demented power of Chet Zar, keep bringing us your awesome view of the macabre.

Ha~! We don't have a basement~! *smirks* ...is it me or is it getting cold here? *looks behind*

You made me rethink, is it scarier with the lights turned off or on?

No matter what, I am NOT going to turn off the lights in my basement tonight. Great job on the mask, by the way! Good luck in the contest!

Thanks! If I can make people afraid to be in their own houses, then I consider the illustration a success.

Thanks! Joseph Bishara's music brings very vivid images to mind, sometimes too vivid. I immediately regretted working on this late at night to his music.

Because if he ends up in a future Insidious movie, I'll end up getting the pants scared off me by my own creation. Then I'll be embarrassed as well as terrified.
