Whooooa! I know I'D be running! :-O

Great coloring in this, & I love the composition. Why not enter it, or are
you disqualified somehow?

(where does one find Diana's scary man tubes?).

This may be non-competing, but it sure belongs in the Hall of Fame!

Wendy, Pegs, Barb, Christel, JP, and Jeanne,

Thanks, glad you shuddered and shivered ;-)

Barb, the line is from George A. Romero's 1968 campy classic "Night of
the Living Dead." Not my favorite movie, but the line is well to horror
movie buffs.

Pegs, Diana's free tube site is one of PSP's best resources:
http://tubes.ominix.com/

The coloring took a number of tweaks, starting with Nik Midnight Blue,
which wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I kept tweaking with Adjustment
Layers and several other filters (lots of Undoing) in an attempt to get
just the right shade of Zombie skin plus background. I'm glad you liked
it ;-)

I disqualified myself because I've been doing spooky stuff pictures I
was old enough to pick up a crayon, and as *ahem* reigning Queen of the
Macabre, I thought it would be more fun to watch this one from the
sidelines.

Thanks again, everyone!

Gail

I really do proofread, I just don't pay attention to myself. The above
should say:

Not my favorite movie, but the line is well-known to horror movie buffs.

Thanks for the links & the coloring tips. I'll save them for next year's
graphics.

Thanks, Michelle and Gail2! We only had seven Trick-or-Treaters last
night, which is four more than we had last year. I can honestly say that
the Deathmatch has been more fun than Halloween night itself!

That's seven more than we had. No one EVER comes to our house. We're quite
a ways back off the road. Mind you, I'm not complaining.
