What is it about little girls in formal settings that seems slightly possessed and creepy? Whatever it is, I think Arbus tapped into the same energy with her twins photo. Hollywood closely followed suit with The Excorcist, The Shining, and Poltergeist. Now a generation later the theme seems to be surfacing again. Not sure what's going on, just that these two photos seem to belong together.

Try some loretta lux, her pictures are scary.
Not forgetting 'Carrie' (1976).
She still gives me the creeps...
Check out Julie Blackmon too. Not as creepy but more interesting graphically IMHO.
I like Blackmon more than Lux. Not sure Carrie qualifies as a little girl. Wasn't she a teenager? This could have the makings of a series like Gasoline Stations and Mona Lisa.
I found not any good Halloween costume idea here….
