Under the cut because there's a lot of links and explanation and stuff.



This is the kind of thing that gives me night mares. There's a very specific look to scary things, that really scares me. So I figured I'd share that, for the contest. It's not just a picture for the sake of being scary. . . It's a picture that genuinely scares even me. ):

I mean, tell me if you don't get nightmares from some of these images, which inspired this. Art that genuinely scare me:

I guess I just have this image of what a scary place would look like, in my head, and these types of things would inhabit it. :/
Also, these videos scare the POO out of me, no matter how many times I tell myself they're fake:

Another thing that gives me nightmares?
Open Canvas. )<
How the heck do I copy and paste in that program?
And make things transparent?

I have no idea how to work these new fangled buttons. I'm still in love with MSpaint, lol.

Oh my goodness, this is

Oh my goodness, this is genuinely scary ;;
What makes it so damn scary is that you can't really tell what it is, and being humans, we have to classify EVERYTHING, so when we can't.. hgfhfong ;;

Amazing job, Doe! Wrestle Open Canvas into submission >D

Yeah, I think it's the

Yeah, I think it's the ambiguity that's terribly frightening to me. D:
I mean, just imagine sitting in a dark dark room, and just barely being able to make out the outline of this thing. And hear it. . . 'breathing' I guess. There's a sound to things being in a room, weather you can see them or not. . . And it's tottally scary to me to hear something, but not see it / barely see it / see it and not understand it.
Did you watch the video I linked to? That scares the pee out of me. I really can't even watch it all the way through. xD;

I love how you look at this

I love how you look at this and your brain tries to work out what it is but can't and you get more and more creeped out by the second. :3

I am really digging the influence of Stephen Gammell's illustrations. His art is so delightfully creepy. Even when he's NOT trying to draw scary things, his art is still terrifying. I'm pretty sure this is the creepiest hot dog and burger ever drawn.
