“Unveiling the Eerie Secrets Behind Vintage Smiles: Old School Photos That Will Haunt Your Memories!”
They’re just wearing their regular clothes and put a cloth over their face with an eye and mouth hole. This is what I look like wearing a skiing mask.
These Vintage Masks Were Supposed To Reduce The Appearance Of Wrinkles

Early 20th-century beauty products were downright weird. These leather masks were supposed to help reduce the presence of wrinkles, but all it does it scare the living daylights out of everyone around you.
Other terrifying 20th-century beauty products include a wire you wear around your face to define your cheekbones, and a head-cage the produces soft vibrations on your skin. Science and technology in the beauty industry have had their own glow-up.
Walt Disney Redesigned Mickey And Minnie After Seeing How Creepy They Were In Real Life

Walt Disney has done a lot for the world, like blessing us with Disneyland and the soundtrack to Mary Poppins, but choosing to redesign Mickey and Minnie is the most important of them all.
After Walt saw what Mickey and Minnie from his cartoon looked like in a life-size costume, he quickly scratched the idea to make their features more cartoon-like. Sometimes the greatest accomplishments go unnoticed.
They Didn’t Need To Add A Toothy Grin To This Executioners Mask, But They Did

This executioner’s mask from the 1800s is just so unnecessary on so many levels. First of all, why did the executioner really need a mask? It’s not like they are going to get snitched on since the person they’re looking at is about to die.
On top of that, why did they think adding a lopsided grin was appropriate? Nothing makes sense, and I’m scared. The photo coming up is from the 1980s but has an element of timeless terror.
Discarded Wax Mannequins Are A Little Too Lifelike For Comfort

These wax mannequins were tossed after becoming damaged in a building fire. Is it just me, or do they look like real humans? They may have just had a very skilled wax figure artist craft them this well, or they could be zombies back from the dead to avenge their death.
Let’s at least show some respect and get the guy on the right some clothes just in case they are a zombie.
Photos Remembering Father Are Equal Parts Creepy And Sad

Having a photo taken to honor a loved one who died from war or illness was not uncommon in the 20th-century. This widow and son are standing with the military coat of a husband and father lost to war.
Personal photos weren’t common at the time, so if you wanted to capture a memory with a loved one, it had to be done professionally. This woman obviously just wanted to make sure her son never forgot his father, but it ends up looking spooky.
On His Way To Steal Your Girl

Don’t mind this guy. He’s just casually rolling right into your nightmares. I mean, when has a bicycle built for two ever been anything but wholesome. There’s nothing to worry about though because he’s brought his sweet, innocent daughter along to break the ice.
If she makes you nervous too, don’t fret. You can tell by their slightly deflated balloon that they’re not here to haunt you. They’re here to party. What can go wrong?
M.J. Knew How To Get Into Character

This is a behind the scenes look at the late, great Michael Jackson in makeup for his transformation into a zombie in his music video for “Thriller.” Even though most of us have seen the legendary music video numerous times, it never stops being creepy.
I can almost hear the door creeks, the thunder, and the howling dogs from the music video thanks to this piercing look from M.J.
What Was Michelin Originally Thinking?

If you didn’t know if these two were supposed to be the original Michelin Man mascots, you’d think they were some sort of demon Teletubby from another planet. In reality, they’re just the very first, very creepy, version of their mascot Bibelobis.
Over time, Bibelobis lost the weird glasses, tire pump, and slimmed down to a healthy size and stopped terrifying kids. The next two photos prove why you shouldn’t mess with Russia, even in your nightmares.
I Don’t Know What’s Going On Here, But I Know That I Don’t Like It

You don’t even need context to know that something weird is happening in the small, Slavic village. I’d be cautious of any time I see a crowd of kids running at you while holding a body on a stake.
In reality, these kids are carrying a likeness, not a body, of the Slavic goddess Morana. Morana is the bringer of winter and death, and many rural villages still burn effigies of her today.
