Halloween is only a week away, but there’s plenty of horror-themed art shows waiting in the wings for those seeking for a few illustrated scares. Case in point, Charleston, WV is bringing on the fright this year in a big way with their ArtMares show presented by The Purple Moon and Modern by Design.

A part of Charleston’s massive 3-day HallowEast 3 Freak Out event this year (which also includes a Zombie Walk, Murder Mystery Party and more), ArtMares boasts over 40 different local artists with 50% of all art sale proceeds going “directly back into East End Main Street public art and development initiatives.” A free closing reception will also be held featuring live music from TofuJitsu, beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres on Friday, October 28th.

Check out the images below for a sneak preview at some of the pieces that’ll be at the show:
