Every now and then, we all need a distraction. But how can we surprise someone who's constantly on the internet? Surely, they've seen plenty of crazy stuff. Well, let's try something different and take a deep dive into the subreddit r/OddlyTerrifying.

It has 1.1 million members, and they're trying their best to share content that lives up to its name. Who knew that Jim Carrey doing The Grinch face without any makeup can look so sinister? Or that a mosquito flying in front of the lens when a person is taking a photo of a square makes it look like a giant alien invasion?

Most of these images aren't even that scary or dangerous when you spell them out. But they can still carve themselves into your memory like a vivid nightmare. Enjoy!

    For some that might seem like hell, but if you come from a broken family, this might well be a life goal. Kids who grew up in trailers, kids who never had a nice clean house like their school mates due to their parents being drunk 24/7, kids who grew up in orphanages or on the street, or simply kids whose parents were too poor to afford more than a tiny apartment - for these this might be a dream come true.
