I've been working on some screenshots for a horror adventure map of mine. Here's the first finished one. Please give some feedback (I'm trying to make it look as creepy and dark as I possibly can): Image

Nice. I just think you need to put the saturation of the reds down. It seems a little too red for me. Also, the words are kind of in an awkward spot. If I were you I'd move them somewhere else. But anyways, I like it. c:

Looks cool! I wouldn't have even recognized it was a MC screenshot if I didn't already know. The only feedback I have is that the font you used is pretty common (I think it's a default?). I'd suggest going to a website like dafont.com or somewhere similar and finding a more unique (yet still as scary) font.
Here are some 'horror' fonts on dafonts: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=110

9/10.
Scary scary picture.
Needs more in the room, though.

Really nice! I could never do something like that :/ Like Exurbia said, the words are in an awkward place, and the font needs to be a bit more scarier, but the rest is perfect!

This is very accurate if aiming for scary. :mrgreen:

If you want creepy... shift the overall hue of the picture to blue or green, or somewhere in between. Try it, you'll see what I mean.
