Mrs. Slydes
Mrs. Slydes as portrayed by Leona Anderson in William Castle's 1959 masterpiece "House on Haunted Hill."
I know its silly, but this scene always gives me the chills no matter how many times I watch the film. I wish I could go back and experience William Castle's work completely unaware of the gimmicks. What a blast that must have been.
I'm not 100% happy with this, but I think it has taken me more time than any other portrait so far and frankly I'm sick of looking at it...
Enjoy!

I think it looks good. The hair doesn't seem beholden to the same rules of shadow and light that the face is obeying, but that actually adds to its unsettling quality. Now that I think about it, my hair does the same thing.
