Macabre Monday Dante's 9 Circles of Hell

By -

Welcome to the second week of the Macabre Monday 
Divine Comedy challenge.
Most of you are probably, at least vaguely familiar with the poem 
written back in the 14th century, by Dante.
It is an allegory telling of the journey of Dante through Hell, guided 
by the Roman poet Virgil. In the poem Hell is depicted as 
nine circles of suffering located within earth. 
Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the 
soul towards God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and 
rejection of sin.
For more info check out the wiki page here.

Here is how (some of ) the Minions interpreted the theme:

 Creepy Cricut Cween Donna:
001
Gluttony



The Contagion of Corrosion Croms:

WMjournal cover,circles 
Circles 2-9 
She gets around.

Imp of Insanity Ike:

IKE HDH163.... LUST
Lust


We hope you'll join in on the Hellish fun we are having this week.
There are plenty of sins to choose from, and lots of wickedness, too.
For example, did you know that the 8th Circle is Fraud, and sorcerers,
astrologers, fortune tellers and false prophets, were made to 
endlessly walk with their heads on backwards so they couldn't see what
was ahead of them? How's that for eternal damnation?

You have all week to come up with something infernal.

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.
