You've obviously never seen The Shining, or The Exorcist, or some of the well-done modern things. Or, failing that, seen a walkthrough of Amnesia: Dark Descent or played through one or two choice levels of Bioshock or F.E.A.R. or the Ravenholm portion of Half-Life 2
That, and movies/games scare you with audio and a visual flash, or with a progression of scenes. You're showing me a silent, still image where the subject's picture is being taken from a comfortable distance. What is there to be scared about?
The eyes are blurred by lenses (see every zombie movie ever made) the eye sockets are exaggerated by shadow makeup, and she's bending closer to give something akin to that pop-out effect that I was describing earlier. The "stitches were put on by a marker (see the upper lip) Between the bending forward and the fact that she's lifting her skirt (see her right hand, on your left), your sense or proportion gets confused.
EDIT: Now that I've seen the original version, which is to say, unaltered by photo-shop or MS paint or whatever they used, it's even less scary.
But the most important thing is that I knew that I was looking at, which is to say, a picture on the internet. After that, everything else falls into place as special effects, and I start searching for those. Once you have it, then the picture really isn't scary at all...it's almost silly.
I actually quite like Creepy-chan; from what I remember she got less weird-lookin as she got older. That picture is a rather old one of her.
Yes, I'm a huge creeper.
Me too. Okay so it's only midnight here, but what the hell.
