Midnight Hour
Uploaded: October 28, 2007
at 710 Ashbury Street
This 1890's-era, Victorian house
(prior to my editing) was actually home to The Grateful Dead back in the 1960's.
I photographed it in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, CA.

Wonderfully creative Lisa! Love the extreme saturation & hidden scary spooky treats, wonderful pov too! Don't Victorian houses make the best canvas for haunted houses? Makes me glad I don't live in a Victorian house, lol! Great work and another score for the ladies :)

Super work, Lisa. Just visited Crystal's entry and I am SOOO proud to be a girl (at my age it's been years since I considered myself a girl--it's kind of nice). The crazy colors on the trim of this old Victorian certainly contribute to it's silliness and the distortion and ghost (especially) to its spookiness. Yep, this is a contender. Point to the girls.

Again, with the girls giving each other points. Stop that. Lisa, I really love the POV of this shot. Nice saturation and a good spooky ghost. Dave

WTG, Lisa! The POV is dizzying!! Hahaha! Love all the scary "beings" you have in there- and yes, the colors on the house lend themselves to the whole thing.
The movie Psycho came to mind as I was looking at this, so I had the high violin sounds from the movie in my head while viewing this image!

Thanks a bunch, Amanda!!!
The title, 'Midnight Hour,' is actually a title of a Grateful Dead tune from the '60's.

Beautifully done, I thought the house looked a little familiar. Love what you've done with the place and I think Jerry Garcia would have liked it to. Is the house on Shakedown Street? #4996004Jill Odice October 28, 2007
Fantastic work here! I agree Jerry would love this :-) This should be a winner! #4996179Robert S. Grauer October 28, 2007
