Underworld The Realm of the Dead

At the moment of death the soul departs from earth and makes it journey towards the underworld, realm of dead souls and where all earth dwellers find there final resting place. 

We had an amazing shoot, was up at 5am, travelled from London with huge amounts of clothes, props and equipment. Then had an amazing shoot in a haunted abandoned asylum in Denbigh. Burned the model Amy’s hair oppsie. Maybe getting a model to lie in a candle pit wasn’t a great idea. Me, my assistant Tonie and makeup artist all slipped over and fell on our arses as it was so slimy everywhere. We all laughed.. Lots and I cut my finger on a broken toilet.. Win. 

As the sun started to go down and the spooky full moon arrived, we made our way back to our bags to find a witches coven had surrounded them with candles and using a knife had been performing their own rituals around them. Apparently protection spells, but that night they said they were summoning the devil. They then took us a ‘short cut’ which slowly we regretted as after they left we realised we were in some kind of scene from Texas Chain Saw Massacre scene, we even knocked at a door of a hillbilly looking house to get us out of the dark woods. Dammit if only we hadn’t gone with the satanists as we knew the way out.. Some shortcut.
