found-footage still from a handheld camcorder, a forest clearing at night, a ring of twelve figures standing perfectly still with heads bowed, bodies painted blood red from scalp to feet, matte wet-looking paint, no clothing, faces blank and unreadable, a moss-covered stone altar in the center with a dark stain across its surface, wet moss carpeting the ground and wrapping the tree trunks, flashlight beam from the camera operator lighting the figures harshly while the trees fall into black, only the figures are red and the rest of the scene is desaturated green and gray, heavy grain, blown-out highlights, tape dropout lines, date stamp reading 10/31/1994
