Corrupting the colours of the rainbow, and beautifying popular horror movies. This editorial comes to you with an enigmatic, yet alluring side to Halloween beauty.
Photo 1: RED. Hidden demon.
The darkest colour of the spectrum. Ominous. Insidious. Not a colour of flowing blood, but a colour of unsettling stillness. The colour stares, the woods have eyes. One with the haze. One with the thorns. One with the scars.
Photo 2: ORANGE. Candied nightmare.
When the night falls, and the lights come on. The colour is bright, but not warm. Like a lightning strike in the dark. Lights flicker and flash in warning. Trick-or-treating gone wrong, the dream melts. Sweets become poison, the chocolate is wax.
Photo 3: YELLOW. Midsummer omen.
A stale atmosphere in the summer air, the fields hide sinister secrets in the grass. The creatures of the meadow know what happened here. The birdsong is of doom and despair. It is written in the way that the flowers grow.
Photo 4: GREEN. Beautiful decay.
The green dies as exquisitely as it flourishes. The second efflorescence arrives with the wilting. As colours fade, textures and forms emerge. Veins run along the petals and through the earth, decorating the forest, revealing unseen life.
Photo 5: BLUE. Lepidopteran horror.
The colour of sorrow. Silence. Weight. Rain. The colour is a veiled widow, shadowed by the spirits of deaths witnessed and funerals attended. No words are spoken, yet something is heard, felt, known. A butterfly appears. The screen snows.
Photo 6: VIOLET. Cosmic distortion.
Extraterrestrial. Lovecraftian. The curious colour from the stars, from the deep, dark, unknown. It is an energy that changes everything it touches. Eyes multiply. Flesh bends. Mutating. Rearranging. It transforms things into what it knows, a world of incomprehensible abominations.
