Horror Portraits on the Night
I’m pleased to announce that I will be in attendance offering my horror portrait services and this will be a wonderful opportunity for you to have your portrait taken wearing your fancy dress outfit. Check out the A2 poster print Melanie from the North West received when she dressed up as a Burlesque Vampire. Other photographs featuring Melanie can be seen by clicking here.
The cost to sit for a horror portrait is £20 payable on the evening and you must be prepared to sign a model release form and provide me with relevant contact details in order to show you the finished result. Next you will have the option of ordering either a poster print or a cameo necklace to showcase the finished portrait at an additional cost of £35: -
Poster Print (16"x20" approximate size due to printer used)
These poster prints can be made into horror posters with text, or just plain with your portrait. For examples click here.
Cameo Necklace
If you don’t like white, you can choose different coloured beads or have the antique silver coloured photo pendant on a genuine waxed leather cord. All metals used in the necklace are lead and nickel free!
I would love to offer these products there and then on the night, but unfortunately this isn’t possible. You will however be viewing your finished portrait within 1 week and you will be kept informed of the progress of your order fully. Depending on the amount of takers on the evening, depends on how long you might have to wait for your finished product, but I don’t envision you to be waiting longer than 28 days maximum.
If you’re interested in the offer and have any questions, please get in touch by clicking here.

Vampire World Record Attempt
The Printworks in Manchester are staging a world record attempt on October 30th for the largest gathering of vampires in one place and I will be there, hopefully with my good friend @HorrorExtreme.
To be a part of this crazy event, all you have to do is turn up dressed as a vampire and be officially counted by a marshall. To break the world record attempt, there need only be 450 participants.
Registration will begin at 4pm till 5.50pm and it will take place inside Henry J Beans.
Unfortunately there won’t be a walk, but there will be lots of Halloween themed events taking place.
If any of you are attending and you would like a vampire horror portrait movie poster like the one below, then please let me know in advance. For more information about the movie poster service I offer, click here.
It’s sure to be a FANGtastic event and I can’t wait.
