What I love about this candle are the different things happening in regards to lighting. Around the base of the candle is a steady orange glow from the wax. Then the light from the flame bounces off the ghost and the table, flickering. I love the inconsistent shadows the flame causes when it flickers. It is also interesting to note that there is absolutely no wind that would warrant the flame flickering about as much as it does. It's not a steady flame, like what would be found at a romantic candle light dinner. It's an anxious, inconsistent, wavering flame that you would find in a horror movie right before someone gets a jump scare from behind.

Oooooh! How creative! There's definitely some fluidity in that clip! Great commentary on the motion of the flickering flame and how iconic some of these candle-light_ images can be for us! Especially around this time of year!
