High School Horror Spreads

Brian Cummings Captures Teenage Terror with ‘Dead of the Class'

Brian Cummings is a photographer out of St. Louis, Missouri who is celebrating Halloween by putting a terrifying spin on the best years of your life.

‘Dead of the Class’ features a horrifying homecoming queen and a lunch lady who is somehow less scary than the one I had while I was in school.  ‘Dead of the Class’ might be a candy corny title, but the photographs within it are definitely a treat for all of us looking for a little Halloween entertainment.
