40 Oddly Terrifying Pictures That Gave People The Creeps

The Ultimate Rap Battle

We're not sure if this is creepy or amusing. In a Welsh Christmas tradition, a horse skull comes to your door and sings rhymes. You have to sing rhymes back regarding why this dead horse cannot be allowed in your home. It goes on until one side gives up, and if you lose, the horse gets to drink all of your beer.

It does seem to be a little silly, but at the same time, there's something inherently creepy about the whole thing. Who came up with this tradition anyway?

The Next Level

Halloween is nowhere near as scary as it used to be. Most costumes are cute or cool these days, with little intent to inspire actual fear. This family goes about their costumes a little differently, a little more... traditionally.

It's definitely a creepy look, there's no denying that. But at the same time, we have to applaud the parent that put this much time and effort into making a costume that looks this good. That's pretty amazing!

Invasion of the Giant Bugs

Mosquitoes are already a bane to humans all over the world. But imagine if they could get this big! Truly, this is nightmare fuel. The picture isn't photoshopped, it's actually the result of a bug flying right in front of the camera lens right as the picture was taken.

Along with the fog, it makes for a truly eerie effect that will probably make a lot of bug haters very uncomfortable. That, or give a lot of gamers EDF flashbacks.

The Cabbage Fields

Who would have thought that something as mundane as cabbage could look so unsettling and oddly terrifying? Seriously, this image is just a cabbage field. And yet, it looks a lot more like some sort of alien egg nest, doesn't it?

We suppose this is what happens when people don't know where things come from or what they look at during their various stages of growth. Honestly, how many people would know what this is at a glance?

The Duality of Nature

We're actually a little torn on this one: on one hand, we can definitely see why someone who doesn't like bugs might find this ladybug covered in dew as creepy or oddly terrifying. But at the same time, we can't help but feel that it's kind of cute.

It can go both ways, depending on who is looking at it. But because some people might still find it unsettling, we've decided to put it here anyway.
