A Love Letter to All Things Macabre
Halloween Photography Series by Allie Mullin
A Love Letter to
All Things Macabre
Photography by
Allie Mullin
Allie Mullin, the Diabolical Queen of Halloween from Durham, creeps her way to Richmond with a decade-spanning retrospective of her bewitching photography series, Allie’s 31 Days of Halloween.
Originally conjured as one new image per day in October, the project turns costume into ritual, self-portrait into portal, and the whole month into a hellbound work of art.
Each photo brings a fresh transformation: levitating broomsticks, candy-corn chaos, witchy spooky glamour, and the specific kind of bloodcurdling joy that raises the hairs on your arms, and makes you cackle like you mean it.
Featuring her favorite images from the past ten years, this exhibition is Allie’s ode to Samhain, invoking art and spells alike.

THE COLLECTION
This series is a deep love for our Diabolical Queen. Every part of it reflects what she loves most about the season: Halloween, fall, witch & ritual, horror movies, and the nostalgic love we all have for playing dress up, trick-or-treating, and being scared (on purpose).
Every piece is framed, matted, and dated the day Allie made it.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Allie Mullin is a photographer, social work grad student, cat mom, hostess with the mostest, and oft-proclaimed Queen of Halloween. She's happy to share the title with all who are strange and unusual. She lives in Durham, NC with her husband Brian and their beloved cat Tarragon.
Allie's 31 Days of Halloween began as a personal celebration to my favorite holiday. Over the years it has transformed from a daily social media post to an e-newsletter, delighting hundreds of people along the way. My love letter to all things macabre draws inspiration from the pain of chronic illness to the film Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
The project asks: what do you truly fear? And...what if the darkest parts of us were a little playful?
