Without movies, and literature, horror photography would not be what it is today. The idea probably would have come up sooner or later, but there was a list of events which happened to help it expand and grow to what it is now.

PE - Fairy Tales: Taking From The Past

Did You Know!?
This did you know article is posted by `Nyiana-Sama!
Did you know...
That if you are old enough (18+) then you are eligible by law to be a volunteer here on deviantART? There are two major groups of volunteers, the Gallery Moderators and the Messaging Network Admins. If you are interested in being a volunteer for either team, check out the following links
#communityrelations is the place to go if you are looking to become a Gallery Moderator. At the bottom of the group page, a listing of open GM positions is listed along with a link of how to apply. Just remember, that many apply for one spot, but on a few will get it.
To become a Messaging Network Admin though, you'll need to wait until a blog or journal appears saying so. ~MN-Volunteers is the official group of the MN@'s and they will let you know when they are looking for help. You can also find out from `Tachy-on by watching him. Just pay attention to what's posted and you'll find the links to apply as an MN@ in no time.
Just remember, that many apply for one spot, but on a few will get it.Deviation of the Month!
Here at devNEWS We collect deviations submitted by deviants to our favorite categories. Every month we go through the suggestions of the Deviation of the Month. `TimberClipse then decides on an amazing piece of art!
In keeping with dA's Styles, we only accept art that is suggested. We will not feature a piece not suggested.
Green Apple, Pink Carpet by =cetrobo is a really cool piece! At first glance, you might think the artist just turned the image upside down, but take a look at who is standing in the background! "Wait what...
?" A very cool and ingenious piece of art! Shameless Pleads!
In order to get points for contests, events etc. we have set up a collection here: [link]
If you have any spare points, we would be most grateful!
Thanks
Special thanks to all staff, affiliates and others that helped out this week!
Errors!
See an error? Send us a note and we will try to fix it. If it is just a typo, we apologize. We try to do our best to read and re-read but we always miss something...
Thanks for the feature.
