We've got monsters on the brain. Big time. All the time. We also have a year round craving for everything and anything antiqued, cobwebbed, and creepy. So, even though this photo shoot was done in the summertime, we thought now would be a good time to broadcast it here.
Back home, one of our mothers has the ultimate creepy garage, complete with an accumulation of spider webs that have taken our eight legged friends years, maybe decades, to produce.The light is dim, and the surroundings are altogether dingy. It didn't take much alteration to turn it into a Victorian scientist's laboratory (Luh-bore- uh-tor-ee, not Lab-ruh-tory).
We simply added candelabras, dried flowers, yards of wispy tulle, and a few spell books to complete the scene. In this shoot, a scientist with a taste for the occult studies his subjects: a new bitten vampire and a lady werewolf. Costumes were sourced from our own wardrobes and from our friend's closets (which, luckily, included exactly what was needed). With the makeup, we tried to create implications of the monsters rather than full-on B-movie special effects. We are in love with the results of this photo shoot. The lighting, the set, the costumes, and make-up all came together exactly as we had envisioned. Can you guess the storyline from these photos?

| The doctor injects his patient using a terrifyingly large needle (found at a local thrift store!) |
 |
| Perusing the tools |
 |
| A potion is concocted...the antidote, perhaps? |
 |
| The doctor examines her injuries...which look suspiciously like bite marks... |
 |
| "I promise you won't feel a thing..." |
 |
| The lab |
 |
| Things are looking grim |
 |
| A particularily dusty corner of the lab |
 |
| Surely, the diagnosis must be incorrect! |
 |
| The transformation begins! |
 |
| The patients take it upon themselves to research their curse |
 |
| Moonlight |
 |
| Her reflection is beginning to fade |
