a woman walking through the night, with her head in a cloud bank that looks like rolling surf, or v-v
b&w drawing of an incredible victorian gingerbread addams family mansion with a woman creeping away from it and toward YOU, her face in darkness like a yurei
greyed-out people squeezed between gated walls
a person in a suit and maybe wearing a longhorned demon mask, holding a peacock, a black cat with a wide human grin sits beside him, he stands in a windy wheatfield, farmhouse in the background with a bison on the porch
jack nance on the set of eraserhead
people at a drive in watching the shower scene from psycho in the rain, with a dramatic dusky sky overhead and much general ominousness-ity

skeletons with elegant hair and makeup, wearing gauzy flowy blue gowns, strolling among cypresses in a funereal setting
a werewolf-like shadowy figure gloating over two children who sit in front of what appears to be an e-reader swarming with tentacles
b&w image of a cat seeing an owl in the mirror, implying they are basically versions of the same little guy
a silhouetted figure in a dress, with visible hands clasped at the waist, in the foreground. background uh a desert and a low wall and clouds and a face and sort of melting figures and disembodied hands holding up sort of slightly floppy circles?
an ordinary-ish bedroom with non-euclidian angles, moon visible in sky through a window ...
a woman shackled to a pillar with a knife in her back
a sad person leaning into a bead curtain of blood drops and tiny skulls, all in blues and greens
a skeleton in 19th century uniform sitting by a window in a white ship's cabin with chessboard floor
an ashen woman with a lantern and suspiciously long black hair, standing on a sort of riverine pathway in a forest
a low-angle image showing a shrouded looming female figure floating in the air accompanied by two howling blindfolded men, like baying hounds
a shrouded skeleton in a cemetery, black and white, windswept and eerie
a sort of shadow-gloom spectre grabbing a passive victim and sort of brainslobbering black ooze directly into his face

a grinning red fox partially submerged in a field of red leaves
a narrow street lined with lamps and populated by sheeted figures
big shaggy bearmen with pumpkin heads walking through the waves
a black and white image of burning house, a woman with a flame in the foreground silhouetted, silhouettes of figures looming through the smoke
two crows on a red field with evenly distributed snails all travelling to the right while one crow holds a living and possibly sarcastic mouse by the tail, all in a kind of egg-shaped radiance surrounded by stylized lotus petals in gold and blue -- beat that
looks like foxes attacking this one fox, in the midst of branches, vivid contrast of coppery orange and white teeth
eyes visible through the flames along a lake, figures running on the bank, a hand in the foreground reaching up out of the water
a meteor barrelling down the sky directly above a skeleton with an umbrella squatting to look at a sunflower
okayyy .... three meteors drop out of the sky in toward a perspective-shifted green mass consisting of a mother and child, possibly classical sculpture, and two copper colored wolf or fox heads along side, with some ancillary clouds
