🎨 Image & Video Categories
🦇 Gothic Glamour
Where beauty meets the macabre. Explore the elegance of haunted manors, Victorian ghosts, and vampires draped in lace and shadow. Think candlelit corridors, decaying portraits, and the quiet luxury of the undead.
🔮 Witchcraft & Arcana
Step into the realm of ritual and power. Witches, alchemists, and occultists at work among glowing runes, spellbooks, and enchanted relics. Channel the mystery of the unseen and the energy of the arcane.
🎪 Infernal Carnival
Welcome to the carnival from hell. A grotesque spectacle of cursed performers, demonic clowns, and burning lights. From twisted rides to haunted tents, capture the chaos and dark thrill of this unholy show.
🌌 Eldritch Echoes
The beauty of madness and the vastness of the unknown. Cosmic voids, black holes, and impossible geometries filled with ancient tentacled gods. This is terror from beyond the stars — surreal, vast, and otherworldly.
☠️ The Unhallowed
The raw essence of horror. Skeletons, demons, and things that crawl out of the grave. This category celebrates the grotesque and the unholy, the decay that refuses to die.
