This. Now.

I was just reminded of the book series Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.

These books seriously terrified me when I was a kid. Look at these illustrations! Who said “Ok, we’re making a book for kids. Let’s have it be full of illustrations that look like the work of a LESS well adjusted Ralph Steadman.” Pretty much every page had some nightmarish drawing of spiders crawling out of someone’s face or horrible rotting giant floating heads coming to kill someone.

Also, I’m still scared of scarecrows thanks to this. I’m pretty sure at least 33% of all scarecrows are evil and have an urge to murder.
