Spooky Stop-Motion Face Paintings

Let Erica Luke Scare You with Her 'Rot' Video

UK artist and illustrator Erica Luke just released a rather terrifying stop-motion film involving some very well-done face paint. The video involves a young girl laying on her back -- almost as if she is no longer alive -- then, her face starts to transform into a creepy skull.

Erica Luke does a great job depicting decay and the rotting of human flesh. She even adds in a part later in the film where maggots come out of the little girl's orifices and then go back into her eyes and mouth.

This video is a great thing to watch today, as it is Halloween. So just wait until the end of the video for a nice, scary surprise.
