Three Muses Challenge - The stuff of nightmares.

 
Halloween has never been a big thing in Australia.  In fact, it was not until very recent years that stores began to stock costumes and other bits and pieces. It's all a bit foreign to me so my picture is about the stuff of nightmares.
I found the image (a romantic era portrait, artist unknown) on Google along with the skeleton and the gravestone.  A few filters have been used to achieve a grungy, vintage look.

  5. Oh my, maybe a few years of psychoanalysis could help a poor soul to get rid of the nightmares... Never mind, this has the right dose of fun, romanticism and Hammer horror.
