Spooky season may have come to an end, but have no fear! (Or perhaps, have lots of fears!) The real world has no shortage of terrifying and disturbing things year round. And one place on the internet that knows that better than anywhere else is the Terrifying as [Heck] subreddit. This online community is dedicated to sharing all things creepy, crawly and disturbing, so if that’s right up your alley, you’re in for a treat.

We’ve gathered some of the most unsettling pics from this terrifying subreddit down below to provide you with your daily dose of nightmare fuel. If you’re easily spooked, this article might not be for you. But if you love learning about the darkest parts of our planet and you can stomach seeing frightening photos, we think you’ll enjoy this creepy list. Keep reading to also find a few interviews we were lucky enough to receive from the moderators of this terrifying subreddit and from horror photographers Joshua Hoffine and Rick Jones. Be sure to upvote the pictures that freak you out the most, and then if you’re looking for even more dark and disturbing pics, you can check out this Bored Panda article next.

Man Shielded Many Women And Took All Pallets Shotgun On Himself During Anti Hizab Protest In Tehran

Man Shielded Many Women And Took All Pallets Shotgun On Himself During Anti Hizab Protest In Tehran

error020 Report

The Terrifying as [Heck] subreddit (whose name we’ve censored) is certainly one of the most frightening and unsettling places on the internet. I can handle gore and violence in films no problem, but seeing a photo of a gruesome event taking place in real life? That’ll keep me from sleeping tonight. And as you’ll see from this list, not all of the pictures are explicitly dangerous or frightening. Some photos are more disturbing due to what they say about society or just seem creepy due to the context. Terrifying as [Heck] is a reminder that scary things are happening all the time.

To learn more about how this frightening corner of the internet was formed, we reached out to their moderator team on Reddit. "The subreddit was created a long time ago, but the creator left, and it remained closed until February of this year, after we requested it from Reddit employees and reopened it," they told Bored Panda. "It's exciting to see it grow to over 400k members in 10 months, exceeding our original expectations."

When it comes to why audiences are drawn to this subreddit, the moderators told Bored Panda, "People I believe, are drawn to this type of content for a variety of reasons. People enjoy seeing terrifying things; we're all wired to notice anomalies in our surroundings. A defining aspect of the sub is regardless of socioeconomic, ethnic or cultural background, there is a relatability in what truly chills an individual to the bone... Another reason is that seeing morbid and terrifying content helps us see the darker side of reality, making us appreciate what we have even more."

We also wanted to know what the moderators find most frightening. "We all have different things that scare us, and for some, it's things that cannot be explained, such as unknown diseases or things deep in the ocean about which we know very little," they explained. "Others love videos of gruesome and morbid incidents. Those are the kind of thing we find the most terrifying and like to see on here. We've been terrified several times, mostly due to unexpected gore posts or this sub's specialty, pitbulls mauling humans or other animals."

And when it comes to why the moderators love Terrifying as [Heck] so much, they told Bored Panda, "We love this community for the same reasons its members do: strange content that makes you want to shiver." But the group is still an acquired taste. "In terms of moderation, this is probably our most hated sub, due to extremely toxic and upsetting comments and frequent gore posts popping up here and there," they shared.

Today it is so easy to be an anti-vaxer; because since the majority of people are vaccinated, one doesn't see the consequences anymore. It would be different if your neighbour's kid was sterile due to mumps, the child down the street has a permanent disability due to polio or the other child died of diphtheria. I believe that if they made a HIV vaccine, you would find many of the so called anti-vaxers would be lined up for the shot.

We're starting to see the consequences, though, because more and more people are becoming anti-vaxxers. Small-pox, measles, and polio are all showing up again. And look what happened with COVID. It would have been stopped before it became as huge a pandemic as it was (is) if there hadn't been such a huge number of anti-vaxxers.

Looking at the age of the photo, this was likely around 1940 or 50, when smallpox still was around. Don't assume evil, here, because that's something you would never intentionally expose your kid to. Smallpox was the first vaccine to be figured out and it was huge because smallpox is a killer. The last death from smallpox was in 1979 when a researcher accidently exposed herself in a lab. She was 29, and even then - young, strong with modern medicine, she died.

Most people who have questions about the covid SHOT have themselves and their children been vaccinated against the conventional diseases. I'm tired of these diatribes against anyone who questions the efficacy of the covid SHOT. It is not a true vaccine in the sense that smallpox, polio or MMR vaccines are; they PREVENT your ever getting the disease. The covid SHOT IS totally different technology. The covid shot is more like a flu shot. It may or may not prevent your contracting covid. It may lessen the severity. There have been many documented cases of cardiac damage in young people from the SHOT. People have the right to question its safety and it's wrong to attack them.

Good thing most of these vaccines came AFTER those diseases were damn near eradicated! But most of you type without knowing facts. The fact I have read "Covid jabs work" so much in this thread is hysterical! If they worked, we the world wouldn't have been shut down YEARS after they came out. Ppl wouldn't need to be boosted if they really worked. What if "vaccine" needs boosters?!? Y'all morons are so gullible and believe whatever the main stream media tells you morons.

god, people have a choice to get vaccinated or not. it is not your problem. if you do not like that they are unvaxxed, don't go near them. or even better, talk to them about why they don't want it. there is probably a very validreason if you just are to ask.

Unless you are immunocompromised (for live vaccines) or legitimately allergic to a component of the vaccine, there is no valid reason.

To gain more insight on the topic of terrifying photos, we reached out to horror photographer Joshua Hoffine, who has made a career out of shooting the most frightening pics you could imagine. We were curious how Joshua became inspired to enter the field of horror photography in the first place. "I've always loved horror movies, and all things scary," he told Bored Panda. "Around 20 years ago, when I was a young photographer working at Hallmark Cards, it struck me that there was no such thing as 'horror photography'. There are horror movies, and novels and comic books and video games - but why not photography? This realization inspired me to begin staging photographs deliberately designed to upset and frighten the viewer. When people asked me what I was doing, I called it 'horror photography'."

"I love horror because it is about spectacle," Joshua shared with Bored Panda. "I love the aesthetics of horror, and the surprising depth the genre allows.  Horror is, at once, psychological, metaphorical, and existential in nature."

"Horror is ultimately concerned with the imminence and randomness of death, and the implication that there is no certainty to existence," he explained. "The experience of horror resides in this confrontation with uncertainty. Horror tells us that our belief in security is delusional, and that the monsters are all around us."

We were also curious about Joshua's process of creating incredible frightening photos. "I stage my photo shoots like small movies, with sets, costumes, elaborate props, fog machines, and SPFX make up," he shared. "I seek out common and universal fears as subject matter for my images. The fears that interest me the most are the ones we all share. I want to find the monsters hiding in our collective subconscious and drag them out into the light of day."

And when it comes to what Joshua personally finds most terrifying, he told Bored Panda, "My biggest personal fears include death, the loss of a loved one, and the loss of self. My work covers an array of fears and phobias, but these core fears show up again and again. There are still many fears, such as nuclear holocaust or mass shooters, that remain to be made."

We were lucky enough to also get in touch with another horror photographer, Rick Jones, or the man behind Horrify Me, the UK's leading award winning horror portrait photography studio. Rick told Bored Panda that he's loved horror since a very young age (some might say too young, he added). "I recall being about 5 or 6 years old drawing monsters with blood-drenched fangs and chopped limbs, and I always watched any monster movie on TV that I could," he shared. "The horror photography grew from my lifelong passion for horror and my fine art background. It was a way to bring the two things together. I do most of my own makeup and sculpting, painting, and staging as well as lighting and photography so it's great that I get to smash all those practical skills into my genre passion!"

ADVERTISEMENT

And when it comes to what Rick likes to capture in his photos, he said, "I shoot whatever I think is cool. Sometimes that's a popular character such as Freddy Krueger or Valak the nun, and sometimes it's something original that came from my own head. My favorite themes are my own unique twist on a popular theme - for example I once shot an art nude model as the Bride of Pinhead, and she was fully covered in pins all over her body. It was a wild idea, but fans loved it."

We also wanted to know what Rick actually finds scary (if anything!). "I find real life things more scary than fantasy horror," he told Bored Panda. "Vampires, zombies, demons etc - I am utterly fearless. I don't actually believe in anything supernatural anyway. But real life crime, serial killers and that type of thing is pretty scary because despite my passion for gory horror flicks, I don't actually like 'real' horror. I have created a few shoots which depict murder victims and realistic gore but when you are creating these images you are so engaged in the art form, and detached Savefrom the reality, that it doesn't feel disturbing. Other people have found this work very disturbing though. One person actually threatened to phone the police about my photos. Maybe they thought I was a murderer? I don't know."

When asked why people are drawn to these photos, Rick says it comes down to "morbid curiosity and fascination". "At least that's what draws me to it, so I can only assume it works for other people too. Photos are different to film because you are forced to study one static moment forever, so disturbing images can be far more confronting in stills photos than in film."

"I grew up during the 1980s in the UK during the 'video nasty' era, when horror films on home video were relentlessly censored and banned," Rick shared. "Now, as a horror artist myself, I experience this censorship often. Trying to showcase dark works of art on social media can be a thankless and frustrating task, at the best of times. For those of us who love this stuff - and there are a LOT of us - we absolutely relish it! We don't want to force it on people who hate it so there's endless calls for artists to be given better tools to be allowed to show their work rather than just face flat-out bans all the time. The horror genre is populated by some of the nicest people in the world, and it is a vibrant, friendly community. I kinda hope that the tech platforms figure this out one day and give us a break."

Oh I just watched a video about this and it was heartbreaking. When the turbine caught fire older two of the four workers jumped through the fire and escaped but the younger workers being only 19 and 21 were afraid to do so. By the time they were convinced the others had made it out, it was too late for them. They came together in one final embrace and one of them then jumped off while the other died in the fire

For me seeing something like that and seeing also People lose themselves in their dementia was the final straw in becoming an atheist. The whole concept of an immortal soul ascending into heaven went basically up in smoke. The brain is the location of the "us". All we are is in there. And if it stops functioning, if it gets sick or damaged, all that is "us" gets affected too. Irreversible. Do you really really think that Grandpa with Dementia, who can barely speak and function by himself will magically be restored somewhere after Death? It is truly heartbreaking seeing something like that.

Poor folks. My house was flooding a few years back. Didn't get more then wet carpet and an endless trail of water. I'm crying and exhausted at trying to get the water to stop coming in. Then I was watching the news and saw people with houses floods and I felt like a sh*t for crying over my home being wet.

Male chimpanzees can be as strong as 3-4 human males. They can literally tear you apart. I've seen a zookeeper on the verge of panic when it looked like one of his chimps was waking up early from sedation, and the vet didn't seem to be taking it seriously.

If it is safe walk around your car several times. Get some blood moving oxygen to your brain. AND /OR have a sleep in a different seat, NOT in the driver's seat. Only sit there when you are safe to drive.

I’d prefer it over dying any other way. At least it would be a peaceful death, I won’t die of any other terrible and painful cause.

Soaps, creams, everything to look whiter. It's so sad! Edit: the sad thing is not that they use these "cosmetics", but that society still thinks being white is better than being non-white, and these girls can get better jobs if they look whiter. After millennia of "evolution" we still judge people's worth by the colour of their skin.

This is just wrong and evil. >>>>Boston Dynamics, alongside five other leading robotics companies, have released an open letter pledging that they will not allow their robots or software to be weaponized, further stating, “We believe that adding weapons to robots that are remotely or autonomously operated, widely available to the public, and capable of navigating to previously inaccessible locations where people live and work, raises new risks of harm and serious ethical issues.<<<<

Just high school, and just one specific school. Xiaogan No.1 High School in China's Hubei province. It's an amino acid drip that was supposedly just there to help kids who weren't feeling well while studying for their university entrance exams. Whether that's true or not is up for debate.

I have seen this exact same photo titled bee sting.... whichever. The person NEEDS to contact medical people and get epipen and carry it ALWAYS. Also probably a good idea to find out if allergic to other things.
