Which Brereton art should I purchase?

Hey Guys,
I'm about to purchase one of these paintings by Dan Brereton. The economy being as sluggish as it is I have to give a lot of thought to any large purchases. Which one would you choose? The Halloween graveyard art or the Nocturnals Carnival of Beasts Cover? Keep in mind that the cover costs twice as much. Thanks

I like the Carnival of Beasts piece. Looks awesome! Both are nice, but the "carnival" piece has that pop to it. Price is obviously a factor, that's your choice hehe. That Carnival image is really sweet though

While there both nice, the one on the right is to busy, and does not tell a story. The one on the left the graveyard one is the one I would go with.

You guys seem pretty evenly divided and your opinions pretty much match the arguments I've been having in my head for either piece. The graveyard one tells a story, but the cover has all of the characters together and is a published piece. Either way I really appreciate all of your opinions. I'll contact Dan tonight and make a deal.
Thanks!

Just to add one more piece to the mix. This is the Comic-con variant carnival of beasts cover. Do you like it more or less than the other two pieces? BTW, thanks to all of you for your help!

If I was buying it I'd still go with the first one on the left.
