Ok, ok...it was me all along. BTS time. First, the door in daylight. Second, the two small lights that lit the entire scene. One placed at the bottom of the door and of to my right side lighting the mask from inside the garage. My unseen hand is using the camera's app for live view and to take the shot. Amusingly, the mask is, in fact, a GoT Night King mask that I altered the colour of in LR. A horror blue lut as the final PS layer was the finishing touch.

There were challenges galore with this. The mask was baggy and some angles made Freddy/NK look like he'd been hooking into the cheeseburgers. Hat kept falling off because those annoying horns. The razor nails kept coming away from the glove. The glove is right handed which meant I was doing everything left handed. Couldn't easily get a clear line of sight out of the mask but also couldn't wear my glasses under it to actually properly see so I was doing the whole thing with fuzzy vision. The mask is also not the easiest thing to breathe in.

It all worked out in the end, though, and I'm happy with the result.

Great lighting, and the way the lines of the door lead to the claws is perfect!  Congrats on the 52Pick!
