Those Old Timey Nightmares

Mr. Blackwood directed my attention to this piece on Cracked.com and I thought you, gentle reader, would very much enjoy this collection of bizarre and creepy vintage photos.

    solinvitvs - My spanish isn't great, so forgive me if I am misunderstanding your words. You say the first two photographs's source (or rather the artist and location) was from Ecuador, not Spain.

    Apologies if what I posted was, indeed incorrect. Time Magazine reported the sources as such.
