The Worst Unicorn: Nov 4, 2009; ~*I Sparkle You Sparkle*~

Hey everyone, it's the season so post your favorite Spooky-OOoky images!

As Childlike Empress said at the end of the last thread, we're not Rotten.com. Please use discretion when choosing an image to share.

Q. Help me I am a literal squash what is not good to post?

A. Anything that came from a shock site is out. If your image is so gross that most normal people will want to quickly scroll away before they can even process it, don't post it. No :nms:

images this thread!

Okay, that's it! Have fun!

e. vvv So it shall be. :3:

The Macaroni: Dec 20, 2002; ...it does nothing.

Thanks, TWU. I'm going to chime in and suggest that no, you really don't have to post your :nms:

stuff, linked or otherwise. Pictures of inside-out babies, car crash victims, and homeless men with maggot-infested injuries aren't creepy, they're just gross and they will now receive probation or banning.

Besides, why post shock photos (that are pretty much all the same when you think about it) when you can introduce us to new kinds of creepy poo poo like this painting?

Possibly also include some background as a lot of posts ask "where is this from"

As your post CE, I had to tineye yours as it looked quite old surrealist, but is actually quite modern by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaros%C5%82aw_Kukowski

I assume this is the artist

The artist's name is right at the bottom of the picture. :eng101:

I like this guy's stuff... though, apparently he dreams of naked fairies a lot (not pictured).

I heard the game over "musical" cue from Silent Hill 3 looking at this.

Hashima Island, used to be a mining complex but became useless in the 1960s when petroleum replaced coal as a fuel resource (during the war and the subsequent SCAP administered occupation, cars were modified to run on coal)

tifosibella: Aug 17, 2005; captian r u gay

I don't have any images that haven't been done to death, but I seem to recall videos were posted in the old thread and that made me remember that the Brothers Quay had a real feel for the creepy.

My favorite in terms of creepiness is a music video done for His Name is Alive:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqCeSa8m9eo

And if you have a bit of time to kill, Street of Crocodiles is a film based off a short novel by Bruno Schulz:

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gIb0bTWj6w
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDkQpd7yC58

Not all of their stuff is on the same level of creepiness, and maybe some people don't feel it. I've always just had this bizarre morbid fascination with old, worn-out toys and things. Also I've always felt stop-motion as a general rule has an undercurrent of horror, probably something to do with Uncanny Valley or some silly poo poo. Vaguely humanoid things shambling around seemingly unaided... *shudder*

Edit: And I forgot about this gem. The theology school at Baylor University has a clock, and beneath the clock face is a line that references a Bible verse which out of context is loving disturbing. Of course this tower faced the garage where I always parked, and I usually was coming back to my car at night. The verse this saying is referring to, by the way, is from John 9:4, specifically Jesus saying, "As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming when no one can work."

For some reason I want to say this is a member of Swiss mime troupe Mummenschanz, except I don't see this image when I search for it, yet I have this distant childhood memory of that image as being one of the first to prick my interest for this very kind of creepy.

Moot1234: Jul 2, 2008; Ridiculously long lasting flavor.

I'm sorry, let me just get this one out of the way now.

One of the most unnerving images from the Wyoming Incident. I just felt so weird and uncomfortable after watching that video...I can't really explain it but I did not like it.

It's not like screamer scary or gory just, unnerving as gently caress.

If you'll not heed my words and still feel the need to not sleep tonight:
Watch the video yourself

They seem kinda creepy at first, until you realize that they're both drunk on Smirnov.

nullandvoid: Mar 7, 2006; Look, the Mona Lisa's not a better painting, it's merely a more famous one, and it was made more famous because it was stolen. And this was stolen, so...

Here's a couple that somehow invoke a gut emotional reaction in me, like something just repulses me in the images. So of course I use them in my background rotation like a big stupid.
