Thanks to everyone for your entries. It would have been nice to have had a few more, the Weekly challenge doesn't seem to attract anywhere near the amount of entries it used to....anyway, onto the results.

Great stuff from everyone and some nice interpretations of the theme:

Arjay Bee - I definitely wouldn't want to tread on that! Nice use of colour and texture, without the eye it could almost be a piece of old wood.

woof - Another good use of texture and colour, nice use of HDR as well...the stained windows give it a somewhat eerie feel.

Tamia - Great atmosphere in this picture, quite creepy....and is that a "Ghost" I can see in the lower left corner?

MRRiley - Nice use of negative space....that shape certainly looks like someone (or something) lurking in the caves...I think I would scared myself silly if I'd have come across that in such a remote and isolated place.

NaClH2O - Another good atmospheric shot...the Fog really helps give this a Ghostly aura and I wouldn't like to think what could be lurking in that tower...

jheu02 - Nice mono shot....looks like we are in Texas Chainsaw Massacre country with that one...I certainly wouldn't be knocking on the door and asking for directions!!

kardinal - I am familiar with Godspeed You Black Emperor and they can certainly create a very unsettling sound...Nice gig shot...love the contrast and colours...

jmschrei - The old dead tree hanging over the path certainly adds to the creepiness...pathways dissapearing into dense forest always have an air of trepidation about them...

noelcmn - Interesting take on the theme and nice capture of the little fella at work...

ramseybuckeye - Abandoned Industrial buildings with weird graffitti...very creepy indeed...classic serial killer territory (or so the movies would have us believe) I still wouldn't want to be wandering around there after dark on my own!


Once again thanks to everyone who entered....

Wow, I'll have to think about this next theme as I didn't expect this win. Congrats also to Tamia and Mike. I guess it's off tothe list and try and come up with something new or a twist on an old favorite.
