“Lights, Camera, Axes” A more painterly style today led to less time to think up a funnier concept than the obvious axe guy, Jack Torrance, from The Shining.
Me. Myself, and A.I. Probably me taking the prompt too literally again, but I can’t help myself, or me either.
“Dude, where’s your shadow?” Going both Disney and Francis Ford Coppola to find two book/film characters who had shadows that moved around independently of themselves and what happened when they switched places one night.
“Don’t look now, Mom’s a Werewolf!” This one seems pretty self-explanatory. Choosing to go with the old 40s/50s depiction of “mom” and family juxtaposed well with the horror theme, I thought.
Today’s Prompt: The Whisper of Waterfront Wharf This year’s Drawlloween calendar of prompts has some very specific titles. That’s an aspect I rather enjoy over something more vague, like, say: “cat” or something. Others may find it more stifling creatively, or be puzzled by them, as I confess I was […]
