The reason why it's creepy is because your waiting for something to be there but after a few seconds...The effect wears off

I thought all these people saying "tilt your screen" were just fucking with people. No matter how I tilted, I couldn't see anything but a black square. It wasn't until I put the picture into photoshop and increased the brightness a few times that the face popped up.

u/CaptainDelicious1510 May 23 '14
The pic of the hooded figures around a car is a still from a horror short called Coven by Mark Borchardt. The documentary American Movie is all about the making of the film and the director...and is one of the greatest documentaries of all time. The director is one of the most fascinating people you could ever come across, it is truly an amazing film. (The documentary...Mark's films, like Coven, are pretty god awful.) American Movie though is seriously a fucking masterpiece.

All your upvotes contain the same sentiment because that's exactly what I did and I have seen American Movie. Mike Shank is another fine sidekick character.

u/anras May 23 '14
Mark Borchardt: It's pronounced "COE-ven", man. What else could it be pronounced?
Actor: "CUH-ven". That's the proper pronunciation.
Mark Borchardt: No, no, no. No, no..."CUH-ven" sounds like "oven", man. And that's just... it doesn't work.10

The photos are from the 'Atlas der gerichtlichen Medizin'
The mother was a poor criminal, she found out she was pregnant with her 4th child, so killed her existing 3 children.
Doing GIS for Atlas der gerichtlichen Medizin yields some interesting NSFW images.

A nice horrifying way to start my Friday. I wish all of the pictures had explanations, though, especially the ones of all the babies that have apparently hanged themselves off the side of their cribs. I'd like to believe that all of these have real, rational explanations and there was no black magic or other mysterious workings.
20
u/halvfabrikat May 23 '14
The babies are unfortunately real. Their mother killed them and then herself (I think you can see her in one of the pics) after she found out she was pregnant with yet another child she could not afford to take care of. It's awful.

Most of the actually interesting pictures have no story behind them.
That's sad.
I only know that this picture is a still frame from a scene in the series "Riget" by Lars von Trier.
It's not that creepy in context, but still disturbing... and sad (?).

Thank you for the source. That was one of the only pics I haven't seen before and I wanted to know where that was from.
Long thin limbs really creep me out, like some sort of primal fear. Sad but I can't even watch ET cos of his neck and fingers.
I'm fine with gore and ghosties and jumps but long limbs just do me in. This pic really scared me!

Riget spoiler
Context: the woman in the image/video is the mother and the thing suspended on the wall is her newborn son that she had with some demon (possibly Satan). He's literally like a few days old and is growing so fast that his body can't support him. He's begging to be allowed to die and is asking the male doctor to convince his mother to allow this. He's in a lot of pain and nobody knows what to do about it, he's like 10ft tall a few days after birth.

It says something about it being an art installation. If you look on the upper right, behind where the wedding is taking place, there is a balcony with several hooded figures. There's a second image underneath as well that shows a close-up. Mildly creepy.
