We love a good horror film as much as the next person, but there’s something about knowing the story is fictional that makes it a tad bit less frightening. We have no reason to actually fear Pennywise the Clown or Freddy Krueger because we know they’re not real (or at least that’s what we remind ourselves). But if someone tells us a scary story about a paranormal experience one recently had or throws out some creepy facts, we’ll be sleeping with the lights on for weeks.

But we know y’all secretly love scary facts, dear pandas. And if you’re interested in expanding your knowledge of the dark and disturbing, you’re in luck. Today, we’re listing some of the creepiest and most terrifying facts shared on the Horror Facts Instagram account. From disturbing film trivia to photos of real-life nightmares, this list is full of photos that might make you want to turn the lights on before heading to bed tonight.

Keep reading to find an interview we were lucky enough to receive from horror expert and creator of the Knifepoint Horror podcast, Soren Narnia. Be sure to upvote the photos that have you feeling spooked, and feel free to share any more creepy facts you know in the comments section.
