I went for spooky. I used 1 candle. Set-up; stuffed black shirt in mask, mounted on vacuum cleaner handle. Knife propped on small table in front. Candle placed just to the left.

I really liked this & gave it 9 - didn't matter to me that the candle wasn't in the shot, it looked like candlelight & I loved the spooky horror feel, so well done.
I see some light, but I suppose it is candlelight. I voted this way down, and the reason being it is not showing any candle in it. It is difficult to take candlelight shots, and I understand you were being creative without it, but to me this just isn't a great shot by not meeting challenge standards.
Wonderful colors leading me to believe this is candlelight and a great subject matter for this theme. I do wish I could see the candlelight in the shot.
