That's the hamster look (notice how editing has changed Poof from a scary grizzly ham, to a pillow ham)

I'd recommend changing the lighting, toning, put in some fog and or shadows to accentuate parts of the subject. Less is always more when you are trying to do a Halloween type of picture.

You say less is always more, but tell me to add fog and other things lol.

I think this image is about as simple as it gets (two lights, one gelled, photoshop on eyes), but I appreciate your input.

Yeah, i realized that after the fact. what i meant by less is less of the subject visible. You could do all that in photoshop.

Looks good! Creepy!

If I were to do something like this, I'd leave the eye on the 'normal' lighting side, well, normal, and the red lighting side photoshopped black. It might show a 'normal' side and 'devil' side? I don't know.. just typing what came to my mind first when I saw your photo!

I like that idea!
