Description
It started as a group of college students partying at the fabled abandoned and so called haunted house in every other second street in the burbs.
They boys and girls were doing what people that age do...drink, laugh, party and ultimately that game of truth or dare. Anyone who watches horror movies knows that the moment the future victims are chill, that's when it all starts.
One girl picked dare and her challenge was to go upstairs, the attic and spend several minutes there with nothing but a flashlight.
The first minute was okay but uncomfortable and all to soon she was calling out for her girlfriends to be there with her and before they could all join her that's when things started to go wrong.....
Thanks for dropping by and taking a peek....Halloween is a year round sport for me...lol
Just a render that came from a few last blurry thoughts before I went to sleep.
No post work but 2 single scenes, 1 with a character in the chair to cast the shadow and the other without that character then pulled together in CS3 so yeah...post work I guess but not to change the vision :)
Take care, be kind, peace...

Just turn off the flashlight and the shadow will disappear... But maybe not his origin. Cool idea. Well done.
Steff_7
Sometimes the simple answers are the best way to deal with situations like this :)
Thank you :)

Looks like they stumbled upon the attic of the Bates' residence, directly behind the motor lodge. Great scene !!!

Your spooky scenes always look like something is about to jump off, super render as always.
Steff_7
I do my best, even left a little something in the rafters for the ladies to discover...lol
Thank you :)

Whoa!.... now THAT would make me jump out of my socks!
And nothing wrong with post-work ... it's all part of the artist's tool-set, like a sponge or a knife in addition to a brush;-)
Steff_7
Sometimes you just need to post work and this was definitely one of those times or this would still just be an image in my head and its getting pretty crowded in there...lol
Thanks Max :)

I think the amount of time these girls stay up in this room on dare, will be most likely measured in seconds because once they experience things that happen in this room, they will jump at the chance to run away.
Great job in being creative in doing this render in two passes and reaching such an awesome end result. :-)
Steff_7
Thank you...knew what I wanted to do so the fun was making it a reality :)

Seeing that shadow on the wall, I'd probably wet myself, then hastened back down the stairs...
Really spooky atmosphere, and little details half hidden in shadows. Very effective!
Steff_7
Thank you Rod and hope you got downstairs safety (sorry for the scare) and cool you took the time to look around this render at the little things, they sell/complete the scene :)

You said there's a TV in the attic; what movie is playing?

Oooooh..! I missed the thing in the rafters this time, until you said something! lol That'll teach me. There's always a sneaky surprise in a Steff_7 image! Beautifully done and great story setting! Perfect lighting, as always!
