All this was brought to my attention, with seeing James Fuller's entry! Shown here is a swell diorama build, sized 17" Length x 8.25" Height x 7" Width. This was what James had to say about his creation:

"I decided to make a small Diorama for my entry. I had several things that scared me growing up... so I decided to combine them. One was my fear of the Circus and the other which was always constant... the witch in the closet. Which sometimes still pops into my head even at an older age."

"Although I am not as afraid of the dark and I used to be the image of her is always there in the back of my head. Those big glowing eyes, with her somewhat deformed long arms reaching out of the closet to snatch me up. She couldn't leave the closet, but she was magic." ~shares James.

"The witch and boy and floor was sculpted and everything else was fabricated to make the room being transformed from good to evil. I hope you like the look into my childhood fear." ~added James Fuller of Fuller Designs.

MOVIE: "Guillermo del Toro presents MAMA, a supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their parents were killed. When they are rescued years later and begin a new life, they find that someone or something still wants to come tuck them in at night."
