Easy enough to create, you will recognise the classic Captain Black credits image, as it appears on the original TV show, rendered much darker, and turned to green, by playing with the picture's saturation.

The story is a wicked one to read. Recommended.

"Lost soul..."

Montage by Chris Bishop.

The 2008 Halloween's montage is inspired by the classic 'Captain Black in a graveyard' image.  This was made using various little pieces.  Black and white was favoured to give an eerie atmosphere to the picture, except for a very pale skin colour to Black's face and hand, and the green light reflected by the Mysterons' rings.

"Evil Twin on the prowl..."

Right from the pages of "Parallax View, Part II", the Mysteronised Captain Scarlet prepares for his latest mission - to destroy the K14 Observatory - where he will meet  his counterpart from another Reality...

My friend, Mary J. Rudy, made this doll, using the head of a 1993 Captain Scarlet Vivid Imaginations doll, and  a more flexible model for the body.  Dressing him up with winter camouflage clothes  and various equipment, she gave it the looks of the character of the Mysteronised and evil Captain Scarlet from the story I wrote for the Halloween Challenge in 2003.  The photo background was provided by yours truly.

Thanks for an excellent work, Mary!

"Oh... Give me a break!" 

Eventually, a story about how Scarlet found himself chased by a T-Rex will be told... 

And no, this picture was not inspired by the  story by Hilary Perry, 'Resurrection'.  It had been made before I became aware of that wonderful story.

This one is probably one of my most elaborate montages, with the "Scarlet buried alive" picture below.  The 

T-Rex has at least five different layers, and the running Scarlet even more pieces to him. The background is

also composed of many parts taken from various pictures.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SCARLET FOR HIM TO BE BURIED - ALIVE - IN A CEMETERY? - By Chris Bishop<

'Midnight has chimed its last long ago.  The night is quiet.  And yet...

There is a crack of thunder, and lightning flashes in the sky.  In  a lonely cemetery, something stirs beneath the surface...  Something... or rather someone... who emerges from the ground and desperately crawls to the surface...'

This pic has been posted as a complement  to the 2006 Halloween challenge.  Writers were asked to inspire themselves  from this image to come up with a story explaining how Captain Scarlet came into such a predicament.   

Take note that YOU DON'T have to use base your Halloween story on this picture.

Can you tell us what happened?

The picture  is a montage done with an image program,  using numerous bits and pieces,  all of them pasted together and touched up into a single image.

Feel free to present similar pictures, to put onto the Halloween Pictures Pics

"Halloween Card"

"I don't know if there is such a thing as a Halloween card (Halloween is not really celebrated in Australia), but as there's a lot of Halloween themed rubber stamps available I'm guessing there might be.  This collage technique is what could be called 'Things to Do with Those Useless Old
Computer Mag CDs'. I have used; an old CD, coloured card and paper, jpg images, rubber stamps, art pens, stickers and clipart, all gradually built up in layers to achieve the end result."

"Halloween party trick gone wrong"

As a Halloween party trick, Captain Scarlet decided to show off by doing some big cat taming ... it didn't work out too well! He should have stuck to small black cats instead, at least they are only dangerous when they cross your path. What is a more traditional pastime for Halloween than bobbing for apples (in this case 'Adam's apples')! If the jaws of that lion didn't kill him temporarily, then his breath would!

"A Soul Never at Peace"

montage by Chris Bishop

Captain Black standing in a cemetery is a classic image haunting us from the very beginning of the show.

The image of Black has been taken from a photo captured from an episode of the TV series.  The cemetery

background comes from a site providing free images and gif, which, if not all Halloween related, are eerie enough

to be perfect for that specific holiday!

Again, the classic image of Captain Black standing in a cemetery. In the background,

could it be the ghost of one of his many victims haunting him?

"Death  Watching"

Montage by Chris Bishop

This is a rendition of the constantly death-defying Captain Scarlet.

The background (Razorback's Reaper), has been taking from the same free images and gif site.  The classic Scarlet photographic pose has been touched up so to give it the appearance of a drawing, that would blend with the background.

"Colonel White's Friend"

Collage by Cwissy.

Cwissy's collages for Halloween and Christmas last year have been a very popular item!  Now there's new photos collage from her, starting with an Halloween's classic:  A black cat!  Okay, a black panther, but that seems to fit the Colonel's temperament. The two of them seem very chummy, don't you think?

"Spectrum's Halloween Party, 2003"

Collage by Cwissy.

Contrary to last year, the whole gang decided to get TOGETHER to celebrate Halloween!

They even invited Captain Black!  And a new bunch of cats!  Cloudbase must be very vermin-controlled, with all those four-legged hunters up there!

"Black behind flashing window"

gif animation by Chris Bishop.

Given credits where its due:

This originally was a  "Jason behind flashing window animated gif.

Isn't that obvious how Cwissy likes cats?

Also, I wonder why the Angels kept that picture of Captain Black in the background.  Probably to use it as a target to play darts!
