While most people can barely watch horror films like Paranormal Activity without going into a full-blown breakdown, aka putting all the lights on in the house and not being able to sleep for days straight, some people like the thrill of it. They sleep like babies, never flinch and have the guts for the scariest things.
If you’re one of them, the two notoriously bone-chilling corners of Reddit known as the subreddits “Weird” and “Oddly Terrifying” must ring a bell to you. The latter one is home to 2M members who enjoy watching all the oddly terrifying content posted there.
So thanks to them, today, we have a great selection of terrifying photographs that prove a single shot on camera can be worthy of thousands of nightmares. Get ready to roll up in your blanket like a burrito (trust me, it helps!) and enjoy the list at your own risk.

It's A No For Me
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night only to see two gentlemen on the wall appreciating your sleeping beauty.
Bored Panda reached out to S. Elizabeth, writer and creator of the “Unquiet Things” blog, as well as the author of “The Art of the Occult: A Sourcebook For The Modern Mystic”. She has been interested in scary things that freak others out ever since she was 5 years old. “I saw a Dracula on an episode of Scooby Doo. I’d never even heard of vampires before, let alone seen one, and learning that there were blood-thirsty creatures who hover outside your home, just awaiting an invitation inside so they could poke their fangs through your neck and drink you up like a platelet-flavored Capri Sun scared me so badly that I’ve never been the same since.”
But at some point in her childhood, S. Elizabeth realized her panic and fright regarding the bloodsuckers and monsters from outer space had turned into fascination. “Whereas I would once hide my face behind a pillow when something scary was happening, I now began to feel the itchy urge to peek.” As she grew older, S. Elizabeth said that her fascination with fearsome things turned into a full-blown obsession. “From literature and film, to music and art, from that time forward, I was hungry for all things unearthly and strange, ghastly and ghostly, gruesome and grotesque,” she said.

Great, just another Australian thing to keep me up at night! How do you people live in terror? 😱

S. Elizabeth argues that there are things people are deeply fearful of now that they were many hundreds of years ago. “No doubt they will strike fear into the hearts of future generations. Death and loss and aging, war and sickness and disease. Fear of the unknown!”
Having said that, she believes that the details change with the times. “Maybe those fears take different shapes, but until we figure out how to stop the aging process and become immortal (like those vampires!), unless we get a handle on our violent human tendencies, unless as a people we learn to become more compassionate and empathetic—none of those things are going to change, and those fears will continue to plague us in some form or another.”

S. Elizabeth also explained: “maybe it seems like we’re more scared now than we ever were, what with our smart phones and a million apps with a million social media accounts bombarding us with all of the horrors of the modern world, 24 hours a day. As a lifelong horror enthusiast (and someone who is afraid of a lot of things, like A LOT), I feel that I’m not too far off.”

What An Uncanny Mannequ- Oh Wait That's A Person
sorry but that's not cool posting a pic for the whole world to see without someone's permission
Yeah, I'm with you. I don't care how you think she looks: you don't post a photo online so everybody else can gang up on her.

We Pandas should be better than this. There are so many interesting and funny things in the world but making fun of the way people look isn't one of them.
Understandable, their face is stretched tighter than a drum with all that Botox.
Looks like Botox, cheek implants, a nose job (probably why she's snoring) and what ever they do to make puffy lips!

This is bullying! We all have the right to be who we are and look as we do without others making fun and bullying!
Who made that bawbag the judge over other people's looks? This a*sehole photographs a woman and posts it without her permission? What else did he do?
Could have had reconstructive surgery after a serious injury, such as a burn. Regardless, uncool to post someone's photo to make fun a their appearance.
Nah, that totally looks like cosmetic surgery. Most reconstructive surgeries aren't as "good" as this. There are usually obvious signs of the previous damage.

Asleep with her eyes half open! That shows what excessive plastic surgery can do to you.
My mother's last husband slept with his eyes open. Trying to sneak out of the house was hard because it was difficult to tell from just looking if he was awake or asleep. I'd have to stand out of sight and wait to see if he snored. Also, he's never had plastic surgery.

That's not nice, to take a picture of a person you don't know when they're sleeping. Most people do not look good when they're asleep.
Ok that’s funny but mean. You don’t joke about people like that so the whole world can see
I once watched the movie Mannequin while tripping, I couldn't distinguish between the actress and the mannequin.
People, stop with the Botox and lip fillers. It looks plastic all the time!
If you hadn't put mannequin, I would never had thought mannequin. Looks like a human to me.
Waaaaaay too much plastic surgery and fillers and injections!! That is scary as hell!
Wearing a full mask would be less alarming. Jesus. Doctors should be sued for doing this
she certainly has had work done... too much and it did the opposite effect. yuck
Hey, are you being sensitive about someone being sensitive?

Time to give up on the fillers and plastic surgery, and just age naturally. FFS.
o.m.g. I wonder what impossible standard she was trying to reach. How sad, (to me anyway).
Yes, they probably can't close all the way because of all the plastic surgery.

she's had so much surgery her face doesn't move. There's a lady who periodically comes to our sales(I run estate sales) who's face and whole body look like this. Nothing moves anymore at all. She old (I think early 80s)and you can tell she was very pretty at one time but she started doing surgeries and didn't stop. Like her boobs and body look like a young woman until you get close and realize she's a mass of wrinkles and plastic.
If that's not a mannequin, she must have had a lot of plastic surgery.

"While most people can barely watch horror films like Paranormal Activity without going into a full-blown breakdown...." Really?
No kidding. So the psychiatric wards got filled up to the rafters with movie goers? Overwrought!

Why do these start with far too many? Try to remember the attention span of people
Just because Zoomers have attention spans measured in nanoseconds doesn't mean the rest of us do.
