Brilio.net/en - Every child is afraid of the dark. No one knows what's lurking behind that dark corner. Maybe it's a horrific clown, a monster under the bed, or creatures in the closet. Either way, they've all been part of our darkest nightmares.

We still have that overwhelming sense of dread when we have to sleep alone, or when we descent into dark basements, shuddered with the possibility of a terrible intruder lying, waiting in the darkest possible corner.

But thank God, these visions of horror are only that - visions in a nightmare. It's our fears playing tricks on our mind, and thankfully, they aren't real. But a visionary photographer has spoiled this feeling of relief with remarkable attempts to make the nightmares come true.

As featured on Viral Nova, Kansas City-based photographer Joshua Hoffine gives the chilling images we create in our heads new life with his take on horror photography. As the fear supposedly loses its intensity as we age, Hoffine wants to make sure that those nightmares are just as haunting in adulthood as they were when we were kids.

His work is exceptionally scary, but he didnt work alone. The terrible creatures jumped out of the nightmare with some help from Hoffines own kids...
