Entire Submission Guideline Journal: Rules and Regulations - Please read and act responsibly.

Welcome to Themes of Horror.

Disclaimer:
Please be advised that with any dark art group, there will be people who do not wish to view it. Please make sure to mark your work Mature Content if appropriate - horror/macabre themed art is not for everybody. We will not act without discretion, and expect you will do your part as well.

We are not your standard 100 Theme Challenge group - we focus specifically on horror and macabre themed submissions and favorites. This means, of course, that if your submission does not fit the appropriate guide lines of the group and it's list, it will not be accepted in to the gallery.

Themes of Horror is all genre - there is no specific form of art that you must produce to submit. Writing, digital, photo-manipulation, photography, traditional - anything goes here, as long as it is within the appropriate guidelines of the group.

Themes of Horror comes with a ready made 100 Theme Challenge for you horror enthusiasts.
This group is to assist in unleashing your inner demon(s) to produce some spine tingling, blood curdling deviations! Please use it to your hearts content, we are waiting with baited breath to see what your twisted imagination can come up with, with a little help.

Themes of Horror bases it's submission guidelines around the general Deviant Art rules and regulations.
You can view them here -

FAQ #284: Can we submit photographs showing actual injury, self-harm and mutilation?
FAQ #8: What are violations of the deviantART copyright policy?
FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic imagery'; what do you consider this to be?
FAQ #251: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic literature'; what do you consider this to be?
FAQ #12: deviantART doesn't allow 'Hate Art', 'Hate Speech' or 'Hate Propaganda', what is this?

Themes of Horror will not accept any submission including any of the above - and frown heavily on self inflicted harm. Please be informed before submission.

If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to affiliate, do not hesitate to send either myself, ^pullingcandy or ~veinsrunempty a note stating what you desire.

Now go be naughty

The Dark Kotzov's weary eyes scanned the road from his position behind the cordon. Everything looked dirty through his gaze; the grainy visage of dust on concrete had slowly burned away at his eyes until it was all he could see. But it would not deter him from his posting, no matter how drained, or sullied, or disillusioned he became. It had been a hazy summer; it was neither heated, nor was it absently cold. The afternoon itself had been still, and silent, as if the world had inhaled; Kotzov's sense of dread was present, as if the exhalation would bring with it the Dark. He shuddered at the thought of it. Kotzov had heard only stories of the Dark, moThe Dark by ~Drakonadyhanie

Playtime: Chapter 1 The new house was horrid. It was dark; cold and unwanted. I know I certainly didn't want it. We only lasted for a week there. Claire: my eight-year old sister sat next to me humming happily. Completely unaware of things changing and how she'd never see the house she grew up in again. Dad seemed pretty happy with it and so did Loraine: Claire's mother and my stepmother. My older sister Natalie was helping us with the move. She was nineteen at the time and had recently moved out; but she had come along to look at the new house with us. The air began to turn misty and the trees became rigid and almost scary.

The Mad Woman in the Attic I awake to the sound of screams
were they my own?
or only a part of a dream?
once I tried to believe it was
only the wind but now I am no
longer certain of when I am waking
and sleeping, is there still a world
outside or have I slipped reality?

I hear the sound of voices
and wondered is that myself speaking
into the unbroken silence
or ghosts within my head?
once I believed they were real
and how their mockery would penetrate
through my solitude, a torment my
only comfort, but I begin to loose
faith in the belief of another human being
residing somewhere out there.

A Conversation in the Sky by ~dr-shadowbell

Vertigo The distance,
The sheer drop.
As I looked down it gave me vertigo.

I stood on a ledge
My world falling away,
A fool for running up and upwards.
Lungs burning ,
chest heaving,
Hot tears scalding,
In impotent rage and futility.

Heart near fighting to be free of a chest
That is somewhere between fit to burst
Or ready to collapse inward.

Only one direction left to go now;
With resolve that I can't run anywhere else ,
That I can't escape
From a rapid approaching fate
The finality that I won't get to see tomorrow.

I wait until you shortly catch up with me.
Then calmly, poker-faced, and so methodically
You push me ovVertigo by *rockgem

metal fear
fists pounding
heart beating

gasping for air
lungs full of dirt
body broken
on the floor
S-C-R-R-I-T-C-H
coming closer
pleading eyes
no hope
S-C-R-R-R-I-T-H
no where to run
no place to hide
curled up inside
S-C-R-R-R-I-T-C-H
echoes in the mind
tearing out hair
broken and alone

Orchard The streamlined automobile flew through the thick tangle of trees that swamped the old cobblestone road as I bore the wheel towards the old orchard. As the clearing developed, I drove unto the generous property, the headlights illuminating the fog that rolled along the next gravel road, issuing forth from the black steel gates that guarded the old household. It was by chance that I had come upon this once prosperous piece of land; an old acquaintance by the name of Jeffrey Gould had, fortuitously, inherited several of his forebears' properties in just a few short weeks.

You are not really Denko. You are just my diary I have named Denko. You aren't as pretty as her, but that's because you are a notebook! Ha ha ha!

Oh, I wish I could talk to Denko as I can talk to you. All I can do is stare at her from afar. She makes me so nervous. My heart feels like exploding. I want to make her heart explode like she makes mine. (´･ω･`)

Want to know something funny Diary Denko? I was following the real Denko to the store and saw she brought a notebook just like you for school. So I bought one too! Now we have matching notebooks! Its fate! Maybe one day when we are together, she will reaOP's Diary [Test] by =Danerboots

Dismembered You're a butcher.
Dismembering;
With your cutting,
meat-cleaver words.
Rending flesh,
And the gristle and bone--
Cutting out hearts
Without mincing your phrases.
Branding any verbal opponent
As gutless and spineless
With such dry, bloodless wit.
Your crimson laugh
Spilling like a slashed throat;
Your favourite cuts of meat--
Always the cold shoulder
And sharp tongue.Dismembered by *rockgem

A Coward's Death Blood like fear
drips into the coward's eyes,
knelt on bended knee
pleading where no hope is left.

Cowering beneath
the shadow of the axe,
only a heart beat before
the bite of the blade felt.

Screams into the night,
skin peeled back,
trophy taken in flesh,
leaving skull bone exposed.

Forsaken to nightmares,
panic driven, waiting
for men who had the eyes
of demons to come back
and claim what was left.

Crawling through the dirt,
above the ravens circle,
greedily waiting, the begin
to pick upon the flesh

FDP "It's a marvel of efficiency, and a testament to man's craftsmanship," Davey declared as we stood before the large open plan machine. I looked at it squarely, my eyes tracing the sharp edges of the metallic structure. Impressive, I thought as I folded my arms and watched the next member of the herd shuffle against the gates either side of it, walking towards the device with uncertainty. With a revving efficiency, the steel grate that functioned as a door rose, revealing a black hole that looked like a portal to another world. I frowned as I watched the walking piece of meat freeze in its place as it heard the sound. An uncertainty gripped me FDP by ~Drakonadyhanie

with the sound of each
creaking step,
drawing ever closer
and yet drawn out
like a slow torture.

Left paralyzed
with held breath
waiting helplessly
while he comes,
leaving your counting
the steps.

Steadily he ascends
mounting the stairs,
one by one with
agonizing determination
the very walls seem to
carry the sound of laughter
knowing he is enjoying
every painful second that
ticks by.

Your eyes glued
to the door,
sweat drenched
blood rushing through
your ears, wondering
if this is the moment
at long last you have
been dreading
and half-praying for.

And than silence,
closer this time

Demon of Gluttony by *Silverix

Widow The moon shines bright, the stars have gathered.
Forbidden path, her mind has mastered.
Black veil covering her face, in moonlight
Devil's strong embrace.

She creeps through darkness of the streets,
And bears the pain of many grieves.
Yet not a thing she wants to alter
For she was chosen for disaster.

The laughter echoes in the wind,
The blade is out and needles sting.
The poison spreads throughout the body,
Encircles soul, maintains Samadhi.

Her gaze upon her chosen victims,
She raises hand and...Chisels, chisels.
Bloods trails quickly down her hand.
She smiles strangely; the work is done.Widow by ~nekozawakun

The Passion of the Pumpkin He lived in the pumpkin patch for as long as he could remember. He spends his days in the sunlight, feeling the rain on him, growing big and strong. But then they came, cut his stem and carried him from home. He woke up on a cold wooden board, unable to move, light shining from above, but not warm as the sun, cold and glistering. Where was he, what was going to happen.

They were all around him, laughing and speaking in a language he can't understand. Then he saw the knives in their hands. The cold metal reflected the artificial sun, and then came down in a fluid motion. It stabbed into his top, penetrated his skin easily, he felt it sunk deeThe Passion of the Pumpkin by ~witch1978

Grudge by ~yeaaah-obssd-008

Only half a Drive Crawling along on dark foggy nights,
Surely this woman is a strange sight,
But those who see her cannot pass on,
The story of her because they are gone.

Their encounters of a nightmare,
Please ask them I dare,
I am the only one to survive,
That horrible terrifying midnight drive.

A car racing along the streets so late,
To get home and warm I couldn't wait,
But in the mirror looking at the track,
A hideous creature raring for attack.

Something was chasing me and it was fast,
As if some spell had since been cast,
It's eyes were piercing: full of hate,
It's front legs so strong to support it's weight.

But only front legs appeareOnly half a Drive by ~MyLittleRagDoll

Night Stalker Dark dreams
penetrate my sleep
with the memory of his eyes
in the darkness,
black as the night
alluring, quickening desires
steeped in fear
spreading through my limbs.

Demon dark
a whisper in my ear
beckoning me forth
to follow him into the abyss,
a kiss which imparts a gift
and a curse, a promise
of the world, a never ending pain,
stolen life granted everlasting.

Spiked fire
raging through my veins
death close
and yet never so far away,
swallowed in the shadows
contorted with hunger
sanguine desire
my soul burning
the sound of his laugher

Soul in Chaos Walking tight-rope
over the abyss
while the laughing in my skull
taunts me to fall,
descending farther down
in the engulfing blackness,
death grins unrelenting,
weaving nightmares
blacker than my seventh soul.

They chatter like
a murder of crows picking
over the remains of sanity,
somewhere lost inside
the distant memory of blood,
like Hamlet's cry
it is the unwashed stain
which never can be cleansed away.

But numbness pervades
where guilt and shame
should be
instead there is a bitter
scent of apathy,
the agony of others
is sweet release.

The Phone Call The shadows stretched
time tracked by their crawling
movement along the walls.

Encroaching nearer in a
foreboding cloud, a taloned
hand reached along the lampshade.

A woman waits isolated in
subtle hues of black and white,
eyes fixed, fingers clenched,
scarcely daring to draw a single breath.

Flickering daggers of light
cut through the heavy air
in the low murmur of passing
cars somewhere that seems so
far away outside.

Trapped by dread and the
whisperers like pins and needles
within her head, hands shaking,
she can't turn her gaze from the
conspicuous stain that appears
like blood.

Suddenly the silence shatters

Savior by ~NightToTheBliz

Fingernails At first, it was subtle. The tentative fingers raking my flesh; your long, black nails gnawing at my skin. The passion was so heated that I barely registered them until the sensitive echoes of our love became visible through the heat of the shower. I wasn't complaining; what we shared beneath those sheets was vivid; the memories danced in my mind like a kaleidoscope of sordid discretions. But as time became immemorial, the scars surfaced far sooner. Life was harsh, I understood, but the tenderness that coupled our intense love-making was dragged under the currents of our existence, and the bitter taste of pain became all too familiar.

Jason Voorhees by ~RYANVOGLER

Jason by ~scott0002

Triskaidekaphobia Ten plus three, a simple sum.
But with a numerical answer,
That causes such nervousness,
One to invoke irrational terror,
For strange and unknown reasoning,
when spied upon the corners of pages,
Or, the brass numbers affixed on doors.
A simple two-digit prime number,
Harmless but with a bad reputation.
An aversion to the supposed unlucky
Look away lest the jinx rubs off on you!
Stuck between eleven and fourteen,
A bad luck date - especially on a Friday.Triskaidekaphobia by *rockgem

Inverted Cross

Who's There?

Apostles Of Death The light is off,
The Darkness has come
There are only candles
To light the old room.
Waiting for Silence
Searching for Answers
In empty and cold
Gloomy small room.

A mirror
A cross
And a Destiny road
Will follow the places
That you are to go,
To bless
And reflect
The sorrow and pain
That you, on the way
Will face
Once and for all.

In books about Death
Do not search for Rest,
It's all in your heart,
So explore,
You are not alone
There are three more to come
Apostles of Death
Ceasing the fear,
Earning your trust.

All doors have closed
Windows are broken
Wind will close eyes
To the ones
That are woken,

A long, long time ago, Coffins used to be built with holes in them, attached to six feet of copper tubing and a bell. The tube was for air and the ability to tell people whoever heard the bell, that there was a mistake and they were still alive.

In a certain town, a young grave digger named Kenji heard the ringing of the bell while he was tending to some of the flowers. He stopped what he was doing and followed the sound He expected the noise to be from local kids pretending to be ghosts, but that was not the case. There was no one in sight. He could hear nothing but the bell and muffled screaming. He looked at the persoGo to sleep Emmy by =Danerboots

Rotten Corpse In coldness, loneliness and pain
I lay under the pouring rain.
Awaiting for my death to come
And take me where the sun is down.

A place where no one knows the fear.
Where pain is lost and single tear
Will not escape my eyes no more.
For I no longer have a soul.

It's gone. Parading in disguise
And hears no more my silent cries.
It left me with "Forget me not's"
& now I'm nothing, but a rotten corpse.Rotten Corpse by ~nekozawakun

Blueberry Pancakes Last night had been very nice and today was starting out to be beautiful.
Birds were singing in my garden and the morning sun shown through the kitchen window lighting my small antique table.
It had been Grandmothers once and was currently adorned with a pink tablecloth with matching white and pink dishes. A single pink rose decorated the center and I think she would have appreciated the arrangement.
My little pink apron matched as well and kept things neat and protected as I moved about the small but charming kitchen.
As he sat down with his morning coffee cup I glanced over and frowned. Blueberry Pancakes by *EatingMyOwnFears

The grand opening of:
#DarkArt-Challenges
has been made official in this news article -> DarkArt Challenges Official Grand Opening.
A challenge based group for dark/horror artists. Get your spook on over there with their monthly challenges!

Thanks to *classofthetitans77, there are now 100 more themes for you to enjoy! The same rules (see: below) apply. The folders will be open for submission, though some themes have folders that say - "154-175". This will be changed in time. If your submission falls in to those groups, go ahead and submit them there, and once the folders become active, your work will be moved for you!

| Themes 1 - 25 | Themes 26 - 50 | Themes 51 - 75 | Themes 76 - 100 | Themes 101 - 124 | Themes 125 - 150 | Themes 151 - 174 | Themes 175 - 200 |

Welcome to Themes of Horror.

Disclaimer:
Please be advised that with any dark art group, there will be people who do not wish to view it. Please make sure to mark your work Mature Content if appropriate - horror/macabre themed art is not for everybody. We will not act without discretion, and expect you will do your part as well.

We are not your standard 100 Theme Challenge group - we focus specifically on horror and macabre themed submissions and favorites. This means, of course, that if your submission does not fit the appropriate guide lines of the group and it's list, it will not be accepted in to the gallery.

Themes of Horror is all genre - there is no specific form of art that you must produce to submit. Writing, digital, photo-manipulation, photography, traditional - anything goes here, as long as it is within the appropriate guidelines of the group.

Themes of Horror comes with a ready made 100 Theme Challenge for you horror enthusiasts (To be uploaded shortly).
This group is to assist in unleashing your inner demon(s) to produce some spine tingling, blood curdling deviations! Please use it to your hearts content, we are waiting with baited breath to see what your twisted imagination can come up with, with a little help.

Themes of Horror bases it's submission guidelines around the general Deviant Art rules and regulations.
You can view them here -

FAQ #284: Can we submit photographs showing actual injury, self-harm and mutilation?
FAQ #8: What are violations of the deviantART copyright policy?
FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic imagery'; what do you consider this to be?
FAQ #251: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic literature'; what do you consider this to be?
FAQ #12: deviantART doesn't allow 'Hate Art', 'Hate Speech' or 'Hate Propaganda', what is this?

Themes of Horror will not accept any submission including any of the above - and frown heavily on self inflicted harm. Please be informed before submission.

If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to affiliate or volunteer, do not hesitate to send me, ^pullingcandy, a note stating what you desire.

Now go be naughty
