Out of all the Twitter accounts out there, few live up to their name as well as 'Cursed Images'.

It shares random pictures from random times and random places with random subjects doing random things. But they all have one thing in common; they make you feel uneasy.

Whether it's a playground next to a cemetery or just a fridge full of naked action dolls, these shots raise more questions than they answer and the lack of context behind them is a big part of what makes them so tense.

Continue scrolling to check out our handpicked selection from 'Cursed Images' and upvote your most (least?) favorite ones. OK, be right back, need to get myself an exorcist.

More info: Twitter

But the concept of cursed images has been circulating online for a few years now. According to the famous internet culture catalog Know Your Meme, these pictures are generally seen as disturbing to the viewer, either due to poor photo quality or abnormal and illogical content.

The idea of cursed images initially started on Tumblr, and the first account to publish them exclusively was of the same name as this Twitter account. Its first post appeared on October 28th, 2015, and gained just over 1,200 notes.

Images of this or similar nature are sometimes seen as the visual equivalent to CreepyPasta, a genre of short horror stories.

This Twitter page aside, they have inspired several popular social media accounts. In fact, we've already covered one of them!

Fun fact, what you see on the right is the deer's own skin hanging off the antlers, in a process known as velvet shedding which is rare to capture. Typically spring through summer, the male deer's antlers will look rounded and velvety. The thick velvet skin is needed to carry nutrients efficiently all the way up the antlers to make them very strong each year as they are regrown - possibly the fastest-growing structure in the mammal world! As autumn begins, the skin dies and falls off with some tree-rubbing assistance, and the strong, sharp, bony antlers are revealed, ready for flair and fighting to win over their mates.

When the axe-wielding clown is just one of the things wrong with your picture, yikes. The kids eyeballing Daddy's beer tells you everything you need to know about their lives so far.

Dad has blood on his cheeks and I see no indication that this is a halloween photo. My mind keeps telling me this is in Australia but he is drinking bud, not fosters. Not that all Aussies drink fosters.

The top two scariest things about this photo, not the clown, but on the way left there is an arm, and over what looks to be the father is a panting of a demon baby looking thing thats looks to be eating someone.

But if cursed pics are something you're not very fond of, try the polar opposite of them and check out these 50 blessed ones.

But that's not all. In case you're willing to do a little digging yourself, there’s also a hybrid variant that is both blessed and cursed. It's called ‘blursed.’
