* ... Lugosiana RESULTS are in!

*
... And we have our winners!!!!!

Sincere CONGRATS! to everybody

who boldly went where many have gone before - and entered our yearly Lugosiana!

As promised, you'll all receive the Feature (please formally submit your artworks), but

FIRST PLACE & prize, by a bat's whisker ~ go to

for her creepy Lugosi:

Béla certainly did not need a mask or make up to send our bones a shiver!

One could almost pinch his cheeks, the technique is so darn realistic! BRAVO!


On the SECOND PLACE

please be seated for yer elegant depiction of a Decadent Dracula (with *a touch of Chris Lee*)

which captures the spiky smoothness of the charm every honest vampire has in his/her bag of tricks.

... Whose will can still resist?!


Honourable THIRD PLACE

is for whose artwork, even without specific mentioning,

brings to our ears the jolly ringing of Vincent Price!

The Castle of My Mind
The castle of my mind grows dark
As ghosts roam down its halls;
The dungeons echo somber groans
That bounce off cobwebbed walls.
The castle of my brain grows strange
With mad, fantastic dreams;
I wander through its chambers weird
Where all's not as it seems.
The Castle of my Soul looms stark
With tall and ghastly towers;
Imprisoned safe within its stones,
I laugh away the hours! A rather claustrophobic and self-satisfied bit of spooky poetry,

whichever the creature - is obviously having much fun by itself!


The prizes shall be awarded promptly! Thank you all for participating ~

see you next year! SOOON .....
