There Is Nothing More Terrifying Than These Unintentionally Creepy Kids’ Drawings

The mind of a child is simultaneously simple and mysterious. It often seems they only think of candy and ferris wheels; at the same time, they can conjure a scribbly, Lovecraftian demon onto paper during drawing time at school.

If you’ve never seen a drawing from a child that physically shakes you, you should know that it’s a singularly terrifying experience. Just take a look at these drawings. They’re right out of your nightmares.

I think what makes these inherently creepy is the purity of children juxtaposed with the haunting doom that they innocently drew. It’s kind of similar to when scary movie trailers use a kid singing a nursery rhyme against the bloody slaughtering on the screen. Hello, nightmares!
