If little children prancing around with sausage noses aren't creepy, then I no longer have a grasp on reality. Artist Victor Castillo creates chilling illustrations that are not only comical but downright frightening.
The eeriest part is the fact that each illustration features these animated 'Children of the Corn'-like kids with bone-chilling grins. No one knows exactly why they're happy, but I can bet it isn't because of candy. Be sure to check out the gallery for more horrifying--yet amazingly artistic--illustrations by Victor Castillo.
