All in the Well
Inspired by an entry in W.C. Hazlitt's Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore for a children's game called "All in the Well" but no description is given. I've made up a campy, macabre little game that involves quarry in a rabbits mask getting sacrificed to a tentacled thing that lives in a wishing well.
Hopefully, it will be done in another day or so.

All in the Well
Painting of the mysterious children's game called "All in the Well". I've taken some fantastic liberties with a game I assume was some variation of hide and seek. I've turned it into a human sacrifice to the tentacled creature that lives in this well. I'm just getting to the juicy tentacles. What fun!

All in the Well
I've been reading W.C. Hazlitt's Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore and there is an entry for a children's game called "All in the Well" but no description is given. So I've had a pretty good time guessing what kind of game this would be. I've settled on depicting sort of a campy, kitschy picture of three girls bringing a fourth girl in a rabbit mask as the quarry for this tentacled thing that resides in the well.

A little bit of campy horror fun, why not?

All in the Well
There is a game mentioned in my Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore called "All in the Well" to which no description is given. I'm noodling around with how I think it should look in these sketches.
The first question at issue- is it a game where you want to be in the well, or not?
