A dark fantasy painting depicts the iconic figure of the Headless Horseman, riding a rearing black horse with black mane and tail against a dramatic night sky. The skeletal rider, dressed in a long tattered black cloak behind him. He holds a glowing jack-o'-lantern that's on fire high above his head with his right hand, its carved face featuring triangular eyes, a nose cavity, and jagged teeth emitting a soft orange light that illuminates his facial features. The horse's muscular build is highlighted by the moonlight, with its front legs raised high and hind legs kicking up dust. A rustic black leather saddle adorns the horse's back. The background showcases a large, bright full moon dominating the upper half of the scene, casting strong shadows and highlighting the textures of both the horse and rider. Surrounding the moon are dark, cloudy formations in shades of midnight blue and slate gray, creating depth and enhancing the spooky atmosphere. Autumnal trees with vibrant amber-yellow leaves frame the bottom corners of the painting, adding to the Halloween theme. The overall mood is dark, mysterious, and slightly ominous, with high contrast between illuminated areas and deep shadows, creating a chilling effect typical of gothic art styles. 5 --s 50 --style raw
