 So I ended up dragging two 16 year olds and two 12 year olds out at 11:30 at night to the college of william and mary.

Doing death scenes.

They all wanted to die (actually, my daughter didn't get to die.)

I have pictures of dead people all over the place!!

Heaps and loads of thanks to my daughter and her friend.

Additional thanks to my son and his friend for putting up with everything. (two sleepovers going on that night, so the 12 year olds were stuck coming with us.)

What a blast!

Thanks, all!

hilarious shot with beautiful lighting in a perfectly noir locale. but... if instead of the screaming girl you had a man in a fedora and a trench coat, you could've beaten me ;)

Super theatrical image.
Could be even more perfect in an Agatha Christie movie.

Her expression and posture are almost comical. I hope that's the effect you were after.
