These 50 Creepy Pictures Can Make Anyone Shake In Fear

You'll fit right in with the Oddly Terrifying group if you're one of those daring individuals who like watching scary movies and reading creepy books alone in your apartment! This is true nightmare material that will give you the chills, from eerie abandoned churches in the middle of nowhere to weird fingerprints on ceilings.

R/oddlyterrifying was founded in 2013, just a few years after creepypasta's Slenderman went viral on the internet. With 2.6 million members, it is one of the most popular subreddits for horror-related content.

Since there are so few locations on the internet where people can function as both digital curators and consumers of a cornucopia of spine-tingling, perhaps cursed pictures, it's honestly easy to see the allure. Given that these eerie pictures elicit strong emotions in us, it follows that our reaction to them is shaped by our unique identities rather than the veracity of the pictures.

Put another way, there's nothing wrong with you, whether you stare at the dimly lit, r/oddlyterrifying abyss for cheap thrills or search for folkloric, 18th-century mummified monstrosities. And in case someone is curious, you can find us coloring our canvas beneath a brightly lit blanket.

Take a trip through this spooky woods and enjoy the eerie atmosphere this list brings.

It appears that fear is as essential to human existence as food and water, and it takes many forms, including roller coasters, movies, and unanticipated tragedies. Or the horrifying pictures on r/oddlyterrifying, in this case.

Even if it was probably just me and no one else who chose to go seek out this horror, you can't help but wonder why people like you and me keep returning.
