Count Orlok, the Nosferatu, enjoys a legendary status among horror fans despite being more than a century old. His very specific look was way ahead of its time and remains iconic.
About this shoot
• In this dramatic photoshoot, you will be transformed fully into a bald ancient vampire. The transformation includes bald cap (unless you are already bald) as well as point ears and fangs.
• You will be directed by the photographer into scary poses which will feature a lot of fake blood. As the shoot progresses, more blood will be added.
• This can be a very gory portrait photoshoot in which you will become the most amazing Nosferatu! The actual shoot is a lot of fun and not scary to do, but the resulting photos are very scary!
• Maximum x2 people.A solo shoot will feature you as the Nosferatu and is the most common option. A two-person shoot will feature the second person as a victim.

Things you need to bring
• Costume. You can bring an historical outfit similar to the movie if you wish but this will likely be difficult and not really that essential. You can wear any long coat, gothic dress, smart tailcoat, shirt with ruffle, cape, corsets, basically anything you fancy which just feels suitable for a vampire.
• Damage to clothes: Please keep in mind that whatever clothes or costume you bring may suffer damage or be utterly ruined by the end of the shoot. We do horror properly at Horrify Me!
• Props: Feel free to bring any appropriate props if you have any that you would like to use (optional).
• Eyes: You may bring your own eye contacts for scary eye effects if you want to (optional). We don't supply contacts.
• Please bring a towel for clean-up at the end.

Long coats or capes work
The makeup process
• Horrify Me supplies all the horror makeup and fake blood.
• The makeup process is thorough and comprehensive. Applying bald caps and scary makeup can take a few hours but it will fly by.

The shoot
• You will be guided throughout the shoot and instructed how to pose.
• As the shoot progresses, more blood gets added and the process gets very messy and gory.
• All the makeup and fake blood is completely safe. The blood is sugar-based and fully edible allowing for plenty of drooling and flesh eating.
Hey this is supposed to be scary!
You will be guided through all poses
Clean up
• At the end of the shoot you can clean up. Everything is harmless but certain parts might pull on your skin like a sticking plaster, or leave small traces of skin glue behind which will need to be washed off.
• You will be able to wash in the studio. Everything comes off pretty easily although you might need a proper shower when you get home.

The photos
• Horrify Me conducts very comprehensive portrait shoots to really make the most of your session.
• You will do a variety of poses, either solo or with your victim. The process is great fun and the photos look like real horror movie stills.
