 yes that(selfportrait *lol*)was fun to do
especially when some walkers came and were looking really freaked at me while i was holding the knife and looking at the camera with that scary facial expression ;P
i got the cape from a theater and it's the same one when i played the "Mephisto" in a school theater,so i have built an inseparable personal relationship to this cape ;D
the hardest part to decide for me was the titel.here are some other suggestions:
"Have a nice Dream!"
"Be careful in darkness- the DEVIL is waiting for you!"
"SCREAM,IF YOU CAN"
nyctophobia is to be extremely afraid of the darkness or the night

pp:levels,b/c,selective color,unsharp mask and some desats (to make the "night feel" more realistic and dramatic- hope it works ;D)

If you lost the lamp post I think this picture would have worked....

My first thought was that he was going to bang his head on that light - even though I know it's taller than he is, but visually looks like he's going to hit it. Rather than being afraid - his expression makes me snicker. He has too much of a "sweet face"
