# Chilling Ghostography Helen Korpak's Photography Will Make Your Spine Tingle By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-08-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helen-korpak References: [vectroave](http://vectroave.com/2010/08/helen-korpak-photography/helen-korpak-photography-18/) & [helenkorpak](http://helenkorpak.com/) Blood, guts and monsters aren’t always necessary to give someone a [good scare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-walk-tours). I actually find subtler forms of eeriness more effective, which is why I was freaked out by Helen Korpak’s photography. Although not all of Helen Korpak’s work will [give you nightmares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird), the stuff that is supposed to, is spot on. Check out the picture of the scared looking woman taking a bubble bath with her creepy cat standing next to the tub and you will see what I mean. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Subtle Eeriness:** Opportunities for creating eerie and unsettling experiences through subtle means. - **Nightmarish Photography:** Innovative techniques for capturing photographs that evoke a sense of horror and fear. - **Creepy Visuals:** Exploring ways to create visual compositions that elicit a creepy and chilling atmosphere. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in horror photography that push the boundaries of traditional techniques. - **Experience Design:** Creating immersive and spine-tingling experiences for audiences through innovative design and storytelling. - **Visual Arts:** Exploring new mediums and techniques in visual arts to evoke a sense of unease and horror. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Globalized Spooky Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spooky-adventures.md) - [Spooky Charming Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-paw.md) - [Horrifying Paranormal Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranormal-reserve.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Chilling Filmic Scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heretic-parfum-nosferatu.md) - [Curated Horror Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird.md) - [Horror-Themed Overnight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warner-bros-icons-of-horror.md) - [Horror Film Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare.md)
