maleficium 2014 exhibit — Last year's Maleficium featured Jill Thompson, Iris Compiet, Rayce Bird, Thomas Baxa and (as seen above) Terry Wolfinger

Despite Halloween having been and gone, Illinois isn't done yet. The fifth annual dark art exhibition, Maleficium, is Chicagoland's largest Halloween-themed art show featuring the work of over 60 award-winning artists from all over the world.

greg hildebrant — Known for his pin-up works, Greg Hildebrant will be showing his darker side at this year's event

Despite having a dark theme, the show is family friendly and held in a refined museum-like setting, rather than a cramped salon, so you can soak up as much horror and fantasy talent as possible.

Here are some of the featured works on display:
