Like horror? Try this little guy on for size:
It’s a real creature, the 25mm promachoteuthis sulcus, a squid found a mile below the surface of the Atlantic. (Here’s its Tree of Life entry.)
But in a different size, or sticking out of someone’s stomach, or in place of an otherwise normal human’s head, this thing would be great for a horror game.
It’s those damned teeth — they’re so human-like, and that kind of incongruous juxtaposition can be very creepy. (Via Boing Boing.)

Haha! I love this!
I think that is one of the best horror elements. Something so vile and terrifying, as elements that make it humanish. It strikes too close to home, and you begin mistrusting yourself, because it makes you wonder how far away from that you are. I’ve always horror stories that peak at the human psyche.
I suppose I should have waited until Halloween to post this, but that slot was already taken. 😉 I’m glad you enjoyed it.
THat thing is freaky. Pure and simple.
I was wondering if it was photoshopped, till I noticed the Tree of life entry.
*quivers*
Oh man, you’ve got to warn somebody before hitting them with something like that!
It is magnificent, though.
