One really fun way to distract yourself during a stressful workday is by looking at spooky pictures. Even though getting spooked is, well, scary, it’s also a bit of a rush, don’t you think?
So, if you have a few minutes, why not spend them checking this list out? You probably won’t get too spooked , and you definitely won’t be bored.
RELATED STORIES
“Found in Venice, Italy. Also found in my nightmares.”
I… hate this. When I say hate, I actually mean love. Because this is amazing. The only problem is, I’m pretty sure my sleep paralysis demon is going to start looking a little like this.
“Hello!”
I know this is just a playhouse, but the cat really takes you out of it for a second. The house itself looks so realistic, you could probably use this as a scene in a horror movie and no one would be any wiser.
“These oranges from my tree split open due to irregular watering.”
One one hand, they’re just split oranges. On the other hand, they look like someone’s collection of shrunken heads. Shrunken heads that are laughing at me for some reason. Come on guys, let me in on the joke!
“Starbucks girl with googly eyes.”
For whatever reason, people like to put googly eyes on random things. Whoever decided to put them on the Starbucks mascot probably didn’t think they were going to look as creepy as they do, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
“Scary doll thing made for a friend by her neighbor. Unrelated to Halloween.”
Yeah, I really don’t know how to explain this. It isn’t a Halloween decoration. It isn’t even a heartfelt gift. In fact, I’m pretty sure this person should move, because her neighbor seems kind of evil.
“This statue with a beehive for a head.”
Ah, bees. They’ll build their hives on just about anything. It’s not like they have the same concept of fear that we do. Sure, bees are afraid of things, but they probably don’t care about alien-headed statues like we do.
“Family thinks my art doll collection is disturbing.”
They have their charm, even if they are incredibly unsettling. I guess what’s most important is the fact that someone out there likes them. As long as we all agree that they’re pretty creepy.
“The inner side of my sock packaging label. Combined with the logo, it looks like a face where the holes of the connecting string are the eyes.”
I’m getting a vibe from this face, and it isn’t a good one. Like, something about this “face” just isn’t right. I feel like it’s staring into my soul.
“My sister modified one of her dolls when she was younger and it still sits on her bedframe…”
Dolls are creepy enough right out of the factory. They don’t need to also look like they’ve acquired a taste for human flesh, and are waiting until you go to sleep before it devours your entire being.
“Don’t give my cat any ideas, Temptations R&D dept.”
Hey, speaking of acquiring a taste for human flesh. What the heck is this!? An attempt at clever Halloween marketing? Or something more sinister? Yeah, definitely the former, but still. What a strange promotion.
“Mosquito flies in front of the lens.”
I love how the picture quality makes this whole scene look like something out of an old horror movie. Attack of the killer mosquito, or something. Not that mosquitos need to be the size of a mountain to be deadly.
“The Devil Tree.”
This is the exact kind of thing that would make me shriek in the middle of the woods. Even if I wasn’t alone. How dare this tree go and make itself look like a horned beast crouching!
“These slightly terrifying faces in my math book.”
I think the problem with these circles (and oval) is the fact that they have dead-looking eyes. They look soulless, but also like they want our souls. And I won’t stand for that.
“A webcam appeared in the bottom of my computer screen after it blue screened.”
So the Reddit commenters did a bit of investigating on this image, and found out that this is from some kind of ad. It probably just got stuck on the screen when the computer froze up. Still spooky, though.
Looks like there are gonna be a bunch of Spider-Men on the loose.
I mean, that’s probably best case scenario. Worst case scenario? We end up hearing about giant mutant spiders on the news. I’m hoping we’re in the Spider-Man universe, not the mutant spider one.
“Was playing video games when I heard a sounds to my left. Looked over and saw this.”
I can think of about a thousand things I’d rather see outside my door than a bear. Great, this is just another thing I have to worry about when I hear noises at night.
“This house in my neighborhood that has no windows at all.”
So… what happened to the windows? Was the house build without any? Or did the get filled in later. I’m not really sure I want to know why anyone would do that, or even what’s inside the house…
I mean, it’s probably just a utility station in disguise, but maybe that’s just what they want you to believe.
“Long cereal. Promptly threw that piece away due to it freaking me out.”
Yeah, you know, this person is right. That long piece of cereal is kind of unsettling. I don’t know if I’d be able to eat it, either.
Seriously, it looks like a finger or something.
“An accidental photo taken during a film project I did.”
I’m not gonna lie, this is actually so cool! Like, it’s vaguely terrifying and is probably going to end up in my next nightmare, but at the same time, it’s such a great shot.
“Cute in a terrifying way.”
Yeah, I’d say that something called Hellmo would be a conversation starter. I do appreciate the fact that the seller isn’t trying to shy away from the fact that this thing is creepy as sin. Embrace the weird!
