by Carolyn • Posted in All Hallow's Eve 2011
Book Chick City’s annual halloween event, All Hallows Eve, runs for the entire month of October and celebrates all things that go bump in the night – from werewolves to demons, vampires to ghosts, and of course not forgetting zombies!!! ;D There will be lots of reviews, guest authors and yummy giveaways! And, as it’s now tradition, BCC’s Giveaway Bonanza, will be posted on the 31st… Halloween itself! So join us for a month of fun and fright… but of course, only if you dare… mwahahahaaa ;D
Last year I introduced you to the “Creepiest Art Dolls I’d Ever Seen” by the amazing artist, Shain Erin. This year I’ve found some wonderfully scary artwork to show you – perfect for All Hallow’s Eve! They are by various artists using different mediums, but all would give me nightmares if I looked for too long… Just check these out!

So, what do you think – scary or what?!
Which scares you the most? For me it has to be the spider sculpture as I’m a serious arachnophobe!

The spider one is the true horror picture to me – like you I am a serious Arachnaphobe
Mind you some of those others are seriously scary too *eek*

Silver Thistle – I agree! If you go to the artists website he has others from the cirrus that are just as creepy
Raimy-rawr – Yes, some of them are totally amazing and the artists are very talented.
Carman – Hehe, i feel like that whenever I look at the spider sculpture
Book Reviews from the Basement – I can't look at the spider sculpture for long otherwise I start getting creeped out.
ilona – I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a series spider problem! Do you get freaked out even if one comes on the TV? I do, every time and it's even worse when it comes up all of a sudden and I didn't have warning LOL
Rain Maiden – LOL Spiders give me nightmares already, If I've had one in the bedroom and the hubster got rid of it, I still worry about spiders in the bedroom and they find their way into my dreams to torment me
Kailia Sage – I agree, all are pretty creepy

Eek spider, but I bet you knew I would say that as I'm such an arachnopobe! The self portrait of inner demon gives me the chills too.

LOL I've seen the giant spider one up close. It's really cool. There's a few of them all over the world I think. The one I saw was at The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. It's right outside the gallery and it is huge! It has a very meaningful concept to it. The one in the picture above is from London, I believe. Both by the same artist.
