Blood, Babes, & Boogeymen: The Recap


Blood, Babes, & Boogeymen was one of our main projects for during this past October. The concept was to take a minimalist approach and have our models portray feminine versions of some of horror's most iconic characters. We received a great response to all the individual shoots when we revealed them one by one throughout October. Now that we have had a chance to catch our breath here after the hectic Halloween season, we wanted to revisit this project and shine some new light on it, as some may have gotten overlooked during everything that was going on last month. So here we are revealing a previously unseen photo from each set followed by a link to it's previous post so you can check out any you may have missed. So without further ado...

MARILYN SAYS "YOU'RE NEXT"
The first set we unveiled features Marilyn donning an outfit inspired by the Fox masked killer from director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett's film "You're Next". These were a big hit and even prompted Simon Barrett himself to post the photos and a link to our site on his Facebook page, which for us was the highest compliment.

DEB REVS UP HER TEXAS CHAINSAW
Next up we have our homage to everyone's favorite skin mask wearing slasher, Leatherface. Deb was great to shoot with and excited to represent Bubba Sawyer in our series. It takes alot to make Leatherface sexy and Deb did it with ease. We love how they turned out and hope you will as well.

8-BIT ERIKA
Moving on to Crystal Lake we have Erika portraying the ultra popular NES 8-BIT version of Jason Voorhees. Wanting to keep these sets colorful when possible, it was an obvious choice to go with and proved to be very popular. Erika being an avid gamer and already having that amazing hair color also made her the perfect choice to shoot this one with.

KRYSTAL WILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER SLEEP AGAIN
Of course, you can't do a Jason photoset without a Freddy Krueger one to compliment it. This whole project concept started from hanging out with Krystal one day and shooting something very similar to these, just for fun and to keep productive, so when it came down to doing them all for real, it was only right to redo the ones we originally took to include in this series. She is always great to work with and this time was no different.

SHEYLA IS READY FOR HALLOWEEN
We couldn't do a series of photos entitled Blood, Babes, and Boogeymen without honoring THE boogeyman. So it was really important to get the perfect model to portray Michael Myers and one look at these photos and we think you will agree, Sheyla was just that.

Blood, Babes, & Boogeymen : Deb Revs Up Her Texas Chainsaw


In our second installment of our ongoing "Blood, Babes & Boogeymen" series we head down to Texas for our inspiration. Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" introduced us to one of the most iconic boogeymen ever committed to film, the mentally disturbed Bubba Sawyer better known as Leatherface. His propensity for wearing masks made of skinned human faces make him possibly the most macabre of the horror icons.





Early on when I presented Deb with the option of selecting whom she would like to represent in this project, she quickly selected Leatherface. So after some discussion on which of his particular looks to go with, we got to down to shooting. Deb who is a huge horror fan herself, was a blast to shoot with and really wanted to do whatever necessary to get the perfect shots and do Leatherface justice. I'd like to also give thanks to her friend Jocelyn who was a big help during this shoot. As you can see we opted to go with a sexier take on Leatherface's suit and tie look which I feel Deb pulled off perfectly. I also really dug that her colorful hair really added some extra pop to these that really tied everything all together. We believe this photo set is a worthy homage to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Leatherface and represents what we are trying to do with this Blood, Babes, & Boogeymen photo series to a T.
