To increase the contrast add a Brightness and Contrast adjustment layer.

To desaturate the image add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.

Create a new layer and call it Eyes Color. Set the Fill to 0%. Add an Inner Glow (color #551111) and Color Overlay (color #a34c4c).

With the Brush Tool paint over the girls eyes.

How to Add Eye Makeup in Photoshop

Create a new layer and use the Brush Tool and color #010101 to paint around the eyes using a soft round brush. Set the blend mode of the Eye Makeup layer to Overlay. You can use different shades of dark gray to create a gothic look.

Add Dripping Blood Effect in Photoshop

Create a new layer and add this Dripping Blood texture.

Add a Layer Mask for the Dripping Blood layer. Go to Image > Apply Image. Make sure you have Invert selected.

Make sure you are in the Layer Mask and go to Image > Adjustments > Levels.

Right click on the layer mask and choose Apply Layer Mask.

For the Dripping Blood layer, set the blend mode to Overlay and resize the image to a lower size. Add a new layer mask and use the Brush Tool and color black to keep only some blood drips. Use a hard round brush for this process. You can duplicate this layer and add multiple blood drips.

Dripping Blood Font

If you want you can add a dripping blood text on the girl skin or on the walls. Use this YouMurderer BB font or any other dripping font that you like. I added a Color Overlay (color #da1d1d) and Satin (color #) to the blood text layer.

Use the Edit > Transform > Warp Tool to distort the text. You will have to rasterise the text or convert to a smart object to use the Warp Tool.

Add Chain PNG

If you want to create a horror dark effect you can add some chains. Use this Seamless Chain PNG image and desaturate the image. Add a Drop Shadow effect. If you are using more than one chain you can use different sizes and use the Gaussian Blur filter to create some depth.

Add Lighting Effects in Photoshop

Add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer to create a darker look.

I have added 3 High Pass layers with Soft Light blend mode. Learn how to use the High Pass technique in Photoshop.

In the High Pass layers, use the Burn Tool and with a soft round brush paint over some areas. You will create a contrast and depth effect by darkening some areas.
