Viewing certain things on the internet feels like witnessing a horrible accident—you want to turn your eyes away, yet for some reason, you simply can’t. Be it a horror movie or a picture of a fashion disaster, it might be difficult to explain why people are often drawn to the scary things in life.

An impressive collection of horrifying images can be found on the subreddit fittingly titled ‘Creepy’. Created “for all things creepy”, in their own words, the community shares everything from eerie doodles, to paintings, pictures, and other types of visuals. We have gathered some of them here today for you to browse, but do it at your own risk—some of them can be pretty disturbing.

In order to better understand how viewing creepy content affects us and why we do it, Bored Panda turned to Adjunct Associate Professor of Neurology at Indiana University, neuroscientist Shirley M. Mueller, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. You will find her thoughts in the text below.

    In the town of Churchill, Manitoba, you are dissuaded from locking your vehicle in case a passer-by needs to suddenly flee a bear. They can jump into the car and lock the door from the inside. Polar bears, when hungry, which is most of the time, will pursue humans.

    In finnish, "mosquito" is "hyttynen". The -nen ending is diminutive, so "hyttynen" is actually "little hytty". This implies that there exists a great, unbeatable, mighty... HYTTY

    Created back in 2009, nowadays, the r/Creepy community has nearly 15 million members. It is safe to assume that they enjoy the rather bizarre content fellow redditors share, but some netizens might be boggled as to why that is.

    “Sensation-seeking is a common motivation for individuals to pursue horror and disgusting material,” Adjunct Associate Professor of Neurology at Indiana University, neuroscientist, and author of Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play, Shirley M. Mueller, told Bored Panda during a recent interview.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “We have different levels of need for sensation-seeking inherent in our personalities,” she suggested. “Along these same lines, people with low empathy tend to gravitate toward horror more than those with high empathy.”

    A piece in Business Harvard Review about why we love or hate horror seconded the idea that experiencing stimulation is one of the main reasons we consume seemingly dreadful content. It also suggested that exposure to it—or sometimes even the anticipation of it alone—stimulates us in opposing ways, as it might make us feel scared or anxious, but it can also make us excited in a way. The reason for that is the biochemical reactions that happen in our bodies during fear-inducing moments—we release adrenaline, which results in heightened sensations and surging energy.

    “[Viewing creepy images or watching horror movies] makes the ordinary person fearful and gives them a shot of adrenaline. The amygdala, known as our fear center, is active in this case. Without it, however, individuals could well be resistant to fear,” Shirley M. Mueller told Bored Panda.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    “For example, a 44-year-old otherwise normal woman with bilateral amygdala injury was less fearful than others in regard to fear conditioning. She also showed impaired recognition of fear in judgment of faces and social-related fear. The pièce de résistance was that she also was repeatedly immune to horror in films.”

    I have it because my grandma had it on the wall above her headboard and when I'd stay the night with her when I was little I would always ask her when she would finally tell me the girls name. I was convinced she was a relative because her picture was on the wall like all the rest of the family. Anyway I was probably 8 the last time I shared her room when I stayed over, but 30 years later she remembered and asked if I wanted it. She said she wanted to make sure I had it. She passed away about two weeks after that, so this print is pretty special to me.

    Another reason we might seek something horrendous, according to Business Harvard Review, is gaining novel experiences; for instance, reading about the main character’s spine-chilling adventures and taking part in them vicariously. Not only does it allow us to go on all sorts of adventures, it lets us do it without having to deal with any actual dangers; we can safely explore the dark paths of the human mind, which is another reason people tend to view such content.

    Photoshopped centipedes are boring. But the teeth took me a minute to visually parse. There are two "rows" of bottom teeth because the jaw is very much NOT aligned straight at the camera, but tipped towards it. Guy better get those wisdom teeth out; they look like they're each ready to kill off the neighboring teeth; this happened to me.

    Neuroscientist Shirley M. Mueller also discussed the complexity of the push-pull effect creepy content often has. “Winfried Menninghaus and colleagues at German, Norwegian, and Netherlands scientific institutes tackled this issue. They came up with the Distancing-Embracing Model to explain the intense emotional involvement that can be felt when experiencing what some would term disgusting. Their model broadens the area of art that might be considered on the dark side; for example, Marcel Duchamp’s urinal or some of Lucien Freud’s paintings of naked obese individuals, etc.”

    That's not a fetus, not with 4 teeth. Hydrocephalus would also not advance that much in utero. I took care of a child like that as a pediatric nurse in a children's hospital. The head usually only gets that big in Countries that won't do surgery on babies with birth defects. The one I took care of was from Romania. She was 14 to 18 months old. The sad thing was she was intellectually on point. She would sing with her mother. But she would always need a caretaker because she would never grow into that size head.

    One of the definitions of recovered is "to find out identify again". Not the first time an angler fish was covered, hence recovered (or re-covered if that way helps you too understand the breakdown of the word in this context).

    “The distancing effect relates to a potentially distasteful scene or object portrayed as art,” Mueller continued. “In this way, the offending stimulus is kept at a safe distance, so personal safety is not an issue, and the viewer can turn away at any time. This sets the stage for the second part of the Distancing-Embracing Model: embracing the object.

    “The paper's authors describe this as ‘rendering art reception more intense, more interesting, more emotionally moving, more profound, and occasionally more beautiful.’ In brief, Menninghaus and colleagues say that simultaneous positive and negative emotions can help integrate negative feelings into a pleasurable sensation.”

    Keeping the offending stimulus at a safe distance is a crucial part of what makes certain negative emotions a pleasurable sensation. Harvard Business Review covered that deriving pleasure from consuming horror can only be possible under certain circumstances, the first one being the need to know that we’re physically safe.

    The safety frame is accompanied by a protective frame related to whether we can psychologically detach from a horror experience; for instance, reminding ourselves that whatever horrible thing we just saw happen on TV was acting, not real life.

    The two are also linked to the third component—confidence in controlling and managing the dangers we face; for example, being sure that we can leave the haunted house whenever we want or that we are able to win against that horrifying-looking competitor.

    Interestingly, Mary Magdalene isn't biblically named a whore. It was Pope Gregory I who, probably in order to downplay her biblical importance, "conflated Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed "sinful woman" who anointed Jesus's feet in Luke 7:36–50." (Wikipedia) Its pretty interesting reading - to me at least - and there's lots of better articles than Wikipedia out there. I used Wikipedia because it was the most succinct. And yes, I know that isn't the skull of Mary Magdalene.

    Not familiar with that comment, but it seems a rip-off of Voltaire, who claimed that all the relics of the "one, true cross" would fill the forests of Lebanon. In fact, there are thousands, but on average, they weigh only a several milligrams to a few grams, with a small number of huge chunks, adding up to only a fraction of the probably size of the one true cross.

    The collarbones are in the foreground as are the teeth that are visible, so I feel like you're looking at a forward facing subject. I agree completely that this is extremely disturbing. There's some brutal realism to this piece that could make family members or friends of people who've experienced loses that could resemble this have very visceral reactions. From my personal experience, I felt it.

    It reminds me of a story of a man from the late 1800's to early 1900's, who had toothache or something. He kept using something for it which, in the short term I think was ok, but he kept using it and it ended up rotting away his lower jaw. Eventually, he died of starvation because he couldn't eat!

    It's why you don't move a cemetery. Most coffins are full of groundwater and degrade in a few decades. You can't move them, they'll fall apart and spill the contents. There's no way to reinter everything, let alone locate all of the remains. It's disrespectful.
