When we first started studying horror we were asked to complete a moodboard which summarises the components of a horror film. From my moodboard the main theme is of spooky and creepy faces and the re occurring use of darkness.
After creating the moodboard we needed to create our own horror picture, I followed the psychological, ritualistic theme. I created the set on my own, luckily I had the pillar in my garage so I placed the skull in the centre of it and surrounded it in candles to give a ritualistic look. I added the cobweb look in photoshop by taking a picture of some smashed glass and added it as a front layer. The smoke effect was another layer and the blacked out corners were done by using the action Vignette.

Fantastic photo Josh with good detailed comments.
Your moodboard is supposed to be specific to a sub-genre though and then needs detailed comments on the iconography of the sub-genre as shown in the moodboard.
Yes, this was my old horror moodboard, I made a more specific one on a later post.
