someone has already posted another one of these, but the Hans Bellmer mannequins (1933) creep me out significantly:

of course, well-used inspiration for Masahiro Ito in Silent Hill 2.

I was gonna say, that's some Silent Hill shit right there. God, I wish I could remember what it was, but there was this weird avant-garde silent film that we watched in my film class years ago. I remember there was this one scene where this lady was like... weaving yarn or something, I don't know what to call that motion, but it was old, scratchy film from the 30's I believe, and she was just weaving her hands back and forth, and then there was another lady sitting across from her doing the exact same thing. I can't explain it, but I was so creeped out by it. I just wish I could remember the source of that footage.

It's a comic, not an image, but it sure is appropriate!

Ddrr.... Drrr....

It's the "Enigma of Amigara Fault" everybody!

(Read from top right to bottom left)

Great contribution. Creepy as fuck.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Great contribution. Creepy as fuck.

I... am having a very hard time following the comic. Do I need to read it from right to left or something?
Clearly I don't read many Japanese comics/manga/whatever.

Yeah, it's Junji Ito, so it's Japanese manga, read the panels from right to left.

ok...yeah... that was pretty damn creepy.
Interesting idea.

Ito is a pretty awesome mangaka, you should try reading Uzumaki if you enjoyed that.

 

[Bluth]

What are these from?

 

[Nassimoluc]

One of my all-time favorite films. The director obviously took some influence from Witkin's works. =)

What is this film you speak of :O?

 

[MooMoo]

Great contribution. Creepy as fuck.

Uzumaki is another great manga written by Junji Ito, the same guy who wrote Enigma of Amigara Fault. Someone also linked to Fuan No Tane (not sure if it was this thread or that scary gif ID thread), which is basically a collection of really short creepy stories. You should check them out!

 

[Altazor]

What is this film you speak of :O?

Jacob's Ladder. watch it ASAP.

 

[Gary Whitta]

This one always freaked me out ...from the film Salem's Lot.

FFUUUUU took me 25 years to forget I ever saw this!

 

[sonicfan]

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Fuckin' X-Files, this shit terrified me when I was a kid. I'd get nervous taking a shit for weeks. :l

 

[Nassimoluc]

Jacob's Ladder. watch it ASAP.

Thanks! Will do.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Find this very creepy. Amazing contrast between the human physique and whatever they are. Has a cosmic terror feel ala Lovecraft.

 

[dvolovets]

belmez faces D:

Holy FUCK, this gave me chills... ugh. Damn this thread. Why do I keep going back?!

 

[distantmantra]

Let it go, Glen. Let it go.

Holy moses, that is awesome. I guess it's creepy cause there's this unnerving erotic subtext to it.

Holy FUCK, this gave me chills... ugh. Damn this thread. Why do I keep going back?!

Yeah, I remember seeing the Belmez faces for the first time. Shit's way creepy, since they just allegedly "form" in the floor. :/

 

[Afrikan]

when i was kid this was creepy...

I was going to come in here and post this.... OMG when I first accidentally saw that....I was like WTF was that?...rewound the tape...then slow motion.....then D:

heart dropped man, thinking I've finally seen a real ghost...I mean why the fuck would that be THERE?

I recently watched jacobs ladder and saw a lot of inspiration for silent hill
the subway scene is almost identical to the one in silent hill 3

and i never thought anthropomorphism could be (intentionally) creepy

 

[Dead Man]

I don't find these as creepy as some of the others in the thread, but I do find them vaguely unsettling:

 

[FatalT]

Holy shit.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Oh man

 

[Lesath]

The man clearly has not been informed of the proper technique.

Murdered in the digital realm

what's the story?

Honestly, people (in reference to the original poster)- a link, description, whatever isn't that much work...

 

[Joe Molotov]

You kinda had to be there.

 

[Kaizer]

So true, so true. Almost reminds me of "The Mound"

It moves too

Oh god, his illustrations are horrific, in an awesome way. The staple of my youth when it comes to ghost stories.

*image* already posted!

 

[oatmeal]

I had a tool just like this used to remove screws from my arm/bone while I was still awake.

[owlbeak]

[Instro]

If I find the images Ill post them later because I havent seen them posted in here yet. Theres a couple gifs from this movie where the victim is tied to a chair in a dark room and the killer is creeping up the behind them wearing this really weird mask and he has like needles for fingers or something.

Also theres these pictures of a supposed journal of a girl who went insane after reading a book, its creepy as hell so if I find it ill post it here.

From the movie "Poughkeepsie Tapes"

I remember this being the best part of the movie, and the rest being generally unscary or having some bad acting.

For some reason, this image reminds me of the Igor character in Young Frankenstein, so I actually find it somewhat humorous in an odd way. :lol

 

[edornob]

The second one is the cover of a demo or w/e by the ambient black metal band Paysage d'Hiver; http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=29645

 

[runlikehell]

I really need to watch this Poughkeepsie Tapes.

 

[JADS]

I want that spine chilling sensation, so lets get the horror rolling!
Try and keep gore to a minimum people, I want my scary classy ;p

Near Chernobyl:

That's not Chernobyl though. It's a picture of Izu Islands.
