 This just popped into my head, and I thought it would br a fun take on this classic horror title. Lucky, my place of work still rents this building so I was able to get a cubicle shot.

A lot of playing around with post processing on this, including:
Cropping
Cloning out some distracting elements
Playing with colors
Applying extra noise reduction and sharpening
Creating a new layer (low opacity Multiply) with a Glow filter to give the hallway some gloominess
Added text. Top text has a Bloom filter to make it stand out a bit, and IT text has some blurring to give it more of a horror type effect. At the last second, I pulled out the text because I mis-read the rules :(

Here is the with-text version that likely would have done better:

Good concept, but lacked strength and creativity in the image.

For a poster a little inviting text is welcome.

Like the idea but the image isn't all that interesting to me. At the very least I would have made the lighting much more moody and dramatic so it seemed scary.

not sure what you're getting at here, you really missed out on taking advantage of the expert rulest as this does not come close to resembling a movie poster
