Senior photos are a rite of passage, correct?  I remember when I was wrapping up my high school career at Daviess County High School, all of my classmates were having their official senior photos taken.  I never did.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe it's because I couldn't think of a good reason to pose on a tree stump or by a shrub or holding my Trapper Keeper.  LOL!  No, I was perfectly content settling for the photos they just took at school.  And I got two really good photos out of that shoot.  I got one where I was smiling and another where I looked seriously, mysteriously past the camera and sucked in my cheekbones.  I told my friends that was my "sex god" pose.  When it came time to exchange photos with my friends, I asked them, "Chad or sex god?"  Yes, that was, hilariously, my photo pitch.

Well, senior pictures just took it up a couple of notches.  Brooke Keller, who's a senior at Owensboro High School, just shared some of her senior photos and they're absolutely brilliant and REALLY creepy.

Samantha Tooley, who owns Tooley Photography here in town, has a "senior team."  That team gets to do senior photos throughout the year in a variety of concept shoots.  They get to do shoots for Christmas, traditional photos with their caps and gowns, a "paint war" shoot and, of course, a Halloween spread.

Brooke absolutely careered the latter!  For Halloween. she chose to do a photo shoot inspired by Stephen King's IT.  Take a look!  She and Samantha recreated some of the film's most iconic images.

As Samantha says, "These are so fun! I love the traditional senior pictures but these concept shoots really make their senior years unique!"  There's no doubt about it.

Brooke, by the way, is a member of the National Honor Society and plays for the Owensboro High School softball team.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
