Grumpy, or creepy?

The bookstore manager at school has this creepy-grumpy looking poster hanging up for Halloween across the hall from where this stairway door lets out. Coming down, this face greets you through the window in the stairwell door.

I had a heck of a time trying to get my camera to capture what my eye sees. The poster is probably 3 feet beyond the window in the door. The face was too dark and I couldn't get my camera to focus on the face and throw the foreground into blur. A flash, of course, lit up the door like a Christmas tree and made for a solid black image in the window. I ended up shooting the door, then going out into the hallway to shoot the face, then combining the images in PSE. The image below is a pretty good representation of what you see when you stand in the stairway, looking through the glass at that icky face!
