Creatures
In ancient tradition, Halloween was thought to be the night of the year when the realms of the living of the living and the dead came the closest together, enabling evil spirits and demons to hop over to our side to make mischief. For centuries the Church made very serious studies of what these hellacious creatures were actually thought to look like. Today, “creature imagining” is just a creative exercise and a way of having fun. Thank goodness none of our deviantART artists are drawing any of the subjects of this collection from live models. (Then again, just maybe…)
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
– William Shakespeare
“As spirits roam the neighborhoods at night, Let loose upon the Earth till it be light…”

“In a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day.”
