Displayed in the Saint-Étienne church in France is the figure of René de Chalon, Prince of Orange. The prince died at the young age of 25 during the siege of Saint-Dizier in 1544.

Rather then memorialize him in the standard hero form, his wife requested (or René himself requested, or possibly both) that he be shown as “not a standard figure but a life-size skeleton with strips of dried skin flapping over a hollow carcass, whose right hand clutches at the empty rib cage while the left hand holds high his heart in a grand gesture.” (Source)

Lara and Mara Bawar are not your average supermodels, but their striking appearance is sending shockwaves through the fashion industry. The 11-year-old twins from São Paulo, Brazil, have albinism, a condition that causes a lack of skin and hair pigment, and they embrace it to the fullest.

Ron Mueck, an Australian artist known for his hyperrealistic figural sculptures, has created his largest work to date. His installation Mass contains 100 human skulls which are scattered and stacked throughout a gallery at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.

The individual forms are created from fiberglass and resin, and when stood upright, rise to approximately three feet tall. In some areas of the installation piles reach five skulls in height, while in others visitors can approach individual works resting on the gallery’s floor. Placed amongst gilded paintings the works offer a somber reality, a morose peek into what physically relates each of us. (Source)

This is a scary and beautiful handmade ring. The ring features spooky fog with three hands coming out of the earth. It’s definitely an eye catcher. Link to ring.

Here is a list of found footage tapes (from movies or posted on youtube) and creepy videos. Not all of these are real, of course. 

  1. In the Woods: Last footage of a guy walking in the woods. He begins to hear growling sounds. These sounds seem like they are from a human-animal hybrid in pain. At the end something pops out of the bushes, and he runs away. 
  2. No Thorough Road: Video of a group of boys driving around, when odd things begin to occur. Horrifying things that they first treat as a joke but then begin to get genuinely scared about. 
  3. Indonesian Ghost TuyulFootage of a ghost that can only be seen by one person at a time. Two dudes are playing the guitar when and do not sense the tuyul lurking around them. 
  4. Paris Catacombs: Found footage of a guy who was lost in the never ending halls of the Paris catacombs. Some suspect that something else was down there with him. 
  5. Ghost of Henry VIIFound on a security tape is the ghost of Henry VII in Hampton Court. You can make out his apparition floating through the doors. 
  6. V.H.S: A horror film in a found footage style video. They are terrifying and is something I recommend to watch in the dark at 12 a.m 
  7. SlendermanAn enormous stick like figure found climbing the buildings in Russia. Many link it to the urban legend of slender man.
  8. Imaginary Friends: A father decides to play hide and seek with his daughter, but it seems like there’s a third identified player involved. 
  9. The Rake: Some humanoid creature is found climbing around the roof of a man. Needless to say he is extremely creeped out. 
  10. Japanese Haunted Hospital: Part of a Japanese t.v show, in a “found footage” style of the spirits that lurk around a long dead abandoned hospital 

The horror doesn’t stop here. Check out this masterpost of more creepy lists and short films.
