Artists 2025
The 2023 Gothtober Countdown Calendar reveals to you the greats, the ghouls, the grand guts that make up our annual exhibition of works. Without the invaluable contributions of everyone you see below: we wouldn’t have a calendar! Their zany and disturbed ideas breathe life into this annual creepy collaboration. We’re deeply grateful for all the frog toes and bats wool everyone throws into the cauldron, thank you, Gothtober Artists!

DAY 2 – Cristin Pescosolido
Cristin Pescosolido is a visual effects supervisor who likes to make short films in her spare time. Sometimes they are creepy and gross, sometimes silly and not gross at all. You can see her professional work in the film, “Rogue One” where she made the death star look good, or “300” where she made wheat fields look good. lots of wheat fields. Her other interests include experimental photography, watching fun old movies, keeping early 1970s fords running, learning how to walk, modding her wheelchairs, tinkering with microcontrollers and raspberry pis, and occasional welding.
