Hello Ladies, I’m Back!

His home town was sooty and black,
At last after years, he was back,
A woman's shrill scream,
A sharp knife's bright gleam,
Announces the return of JACK!
A photorealistic gothic scene: a gentleman in Victorian clothes wearing a cape with a vivid red lining and a tall cylindrical top hat, stooped on a low bridge. The full moon behind him casts him into dramatic silhouette. He is brandishing a long black knife. Moody nocturnal atmosphere, cinematic moonlight, mist, detailed period clothing, high realism, dark gothic aesthetic.
