Creepy Vintage and Horror Photos

  


The shadows grow long, autumn advances in her goal of driving us toward the darkness. And so, some creepy photos, especially vintage ones, take on a gothic horror vibe. Enjoy!



















 

Consider making your own vintage-looking and horror creepy photos. The key is to put the viewer in the middle of some setting that begs the question, "what is happening here?" 

Here's some I've done - 


Dolls -

Other ideas - abandoned buildings, cemeteries at sunset, shadows, creepy dolls, burlap bag masks, farm implements, barns.... 


Nothing says creepy like an old ornate frame to draw the eye to the vintage pic -
