As a follow up to my earlier post, The Creepiest Photo Album, I have compiled anther gallery of horrifying and weird photography. These are all vintage photographs, some by famous artists, some not. Some are meant to terrify, disquiet and provoke thought in the viewer. Others are just photos that appear wrong in some way. There is something to be said for the old style of photography, pre-digital and even pre-handheld, where the effect was sometimes unintentional, and unknown before the film was developed and imprinted on the paper. Enjoy my second creepy offering after the jump…

I have been trying to find the origin of #32 for a long time! This band called YOGA has it up on their myspace page but they don’t give any information on the photograph! This is one of my all time favorite pictures. I like the Francis Bacon photo as well. Great collection.

I liked staring at these and seeing what they had to tell.
