theres a trend for photographers to offer zombie themed photo shoots, a photographer in america did a set of the scenes from the walking dead using children? when we know how abhorrent it would be for the theme to be sexual why is violence ok? isnt dressing up and posing children in adult themes then taking photos for the adults gratification a form of abuse? and why would anyone want a picture of their child as the undead?

Haha, I just zoomed in a saw the wound on your DDs top Ghosty.

I wanted to get some of those this year, are they any good?

I made her wounds with make up wax and fake blood - really easy

ghostyslovesheep · 08/09/2016 22:23

I'm loving all our Zomblings - I'm guessing the OP will be horrified!

Love how this turned into TWD discussion Grin

I think Glenn was got by Lucille. But I fear it might be Daryl. Therefore I hope it's Glenn. Make sense? No thought not.

DS1 was The Tin Man the year after if it makes OP feel any better.

ghostyslovesheep · 08/09/2016 22:29

here is DD2 as The TARDIS to calm your nerves OP

I think it's bloody scary!

Dixie he looks brilliant. :o

Imagine all that face paint wiped off on red velvet cushions.

Why is there a tiger in the new season promo??

MistressMerryWeather · 08/09/2016 22:32

Gosh that's fabulous, Ghosty.

You must be very crafty - as in creative not villain.

ghostyslovesheep · 08/09/2016 22:34

no! it was made out of a cheap pillow case with painted bits stapled on!

This is DS as zombie schoolboy last Halloween. It was his choice & mostly his design too.

The two sets of photos are completely different though. Does the op mean the first ones or TWD ones?

The first set is very constructed, very old fashioned and beautiful photos.
The second is just scenes from the walking dead.

I am not sure about the ages of the kids in the second one, whether they will have actually watched it or not and if they realised what they were doing. Not so keen on them, especially the violence, the scene with 'Neegan' and the one with 'Carol' shooting the child. The make up is a bit crap too. I have done a better job last few years with my kids at halloween! Wouldnt want any small child of mine to act out TWD tbh. Now they are older they love it though Smile

But the first ones are great.

Of course there was a trend to have your photo taken with a dead realative (or just the relative all dressed up in their finest clothes) in the 19th centuary !

I LOVE his brains and balloon insides Grin

MistressMerryWeather · 08/09/2016 22:42

Balloon guts. Wow.

I can't tell you how proud I would have been.

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 08/09/2016 22:42

Dixie, please will you pm me with who gets it. I have a strong idea who I think it is but need to know. My husband is already making me wait to find out whether baby is a girl or boy so this would be great Grin . this is of course way more important to haha!

Potatofish · 08/09/2016 22:42

I think I prefer the idea of zombie child photos than the ones of newborns sitting asleep in flowerpots with massive floral headbands - now that's sinister...
