Debunk This!: Apr 12, 2011

Lets get some more classical art up in here.

The art of Alfred Kubin is perfect for this thread.

This is by Karel Hlavacek.

PureRok: Mar 27, 2010; Good as new.

For some reason I find it impossible for art to be creepy. I've never once been creeped out by a painting or drawing unless it was in a movie and had some sort of effect applied to it.

While not an image, I want to take the chance to link you guys to The Stairwell. This little concept has been done to death before, but here's a new one, so maybe it's better than the others?

Based on an older, creepy story about going down a long-rear end fight of stairs and finding something creepy at the bottom. There was already a game like this a while back that was made by a goon (based on the same source material, SCP-087, which itself is based on the creepy story mentioned above), but this one has things like light switches and whatnot.

Alright guys, new rule for the thread going forward: no art.

Actually, gently caress that.

Don't do it. Just don't. If someone posts something genuinely not within the thread style, as in you cannot begin to comprehend how another person would think it's creepy/scary, report it. Don't bring it up in the thread. It shits things up.

This is from the first page, did anyone ever identify who did it? Someone said it was Junji Ito but it doesn't look like any of his other stuff.

If I remember right it was a piece of outsider art, possibly from a Japanese mental institution.

One of the best things about Manute Bol was that he won a boxing match against Refrigerator Perry and gave his winnings to a charity for Sudanese refugees. It should say something about the guy that when he died back in 2010, his funeral service was held in the National Cathedral.

And in case anyone is wondering like I was, this one is from Deep North, a series of photographs by Chris Larson. The originals are only slightly less creepy, as they make it obvious that the drips all over everything are actually icicles.

I really appreciate that link. Man that was cool. Didn't think I'd get as immersed as I did. I recommend anyone who hasn't checked that out do so.

This picture always reminds me of a painting of Black Shuck that was in a monster book I loved as a kid. I remember reading all about these weird creatures, Vampires, Werewolves and the like, but for some reason this picture really frightened me. Yet, I could never look away...

This was horrible, I got to around floor 30 feeling unnerved, and then a figure flew out of the wall at me and I jumped out of my skin and couldn't bring myself to go on :cry:

Maybe I'll try again later...
