The Boogie 'Demons' exhibit is an upcoming installation featuring the Serbian photographer’s [latest photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1), which evoke an extremely dark undertone.

The Boogie ‘Demons’ Exhibit eliminates makeup and CGI in favor of antique camera techniques to make his subjects look realistically frightening. The talented photographer has produced [dark, disturbing images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima) of everyday people who appear to be possessed by a diabolical demonic being. Even though Linda Blair was scary in The Exorcist, she didn't have Boogie’s ghastly realism; her [heavy makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice) pretty much prepares you for rotating heads and an onslaught of profanity no 6-year-old should shout. In fact from the looks of it, it’ll take more than a prayer and holy water to save these souls.

The ‘Demons’ exhibit is set to take place at The Outsiders gallery in Newcastle.
