Tools of the trade
I helped a co-worker out with a creepy photo shoot the weekend before Halloween. It was a promotional shoot for his dancer friend who would be performing at a Halloween bash. As they were organizing the shoot, my co-worker wondered, “Who would be into throwing blood?” and thought of me. So flattered. ♥
The shoot lasted from around 7 PM to 1 AM last Wednesday, which was much longer than any of us had anticipated, but it was a lot of fun. We had some great props; my co-worker rented several items from The Bone Room, including tools, poisons, and a heart in a jar, and we found several rusty, gnarly, mysterious tools in the bottom of my co-worker’s own toolbox. … Which was suspicious. The cross was already in the room where we were shooting. Nice.
Our dancer subject put me on his guest list for the Halloween bash, but I ended up not going, partially because none of my friends wanted to go and partially because I hate leaving the house. Instead, I spent the night sitting in my bed making a Tumblr theme.
