So, have you heard? It's dA's 8th birthday on August 7, 2008 So how are you going to celebrate?

By scaring the living life out of deviantArt and getting presents for it! Now that's a birthday we can all get on-board with

Contest Information:

In the 8th year of its life, deviantArt has spawned a terror unlike any seen before.... the first official contest for Horror and Macabre Photography on dA.

Concept

The number 8 and the terror it brought long ago.
In the autumn of 1888, London, England was terrorized by a creature that the world had not seen before: Jack the Ripper.

The violence of his crimes was so gruesome that many didn't consider him to be human, but rather some sort of demon. The fact that he was never captured just terrified people even more and he quickly became a frightening legend.

Your task in this contest is to capture that moment of primary fear that the world must have felt when they were faced with the first modern serial killer. Imagine the fear... imagine the panic... imagine the confusion that people must have felt.. your goal is to capture that.

Some ideas:
Portray how scary the London streets may have seemed at the time.
Portray Jack the Ripper as the monster and demon that people imagined him to be.
Portray the fear and all other emotions that people must have felt at the time.
