But Victorian death portraits may have an equally chilling cousin. A close second in the creepy department is Victorian twin photography. Apparently they had a thing for twins, and the results are nightmarish.
1. "Come and play with us..." No thanks.
2. What's with the roller skates?
3. That fact that their faces are blurry only makes it worse.
4. Three sets of twins. Can you spot the evil ones?
5. Somehow they even made infants terrifying. Well done.
6. That haircut...
7. Something about the combination of dolls and giant bows makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
8. Always smiling...
9. A twin brother and sister with the same haircut.
10. "We'll be waiting for you...forever."
11. This is the most disturbing one so far.
12. They're clearly not amused.
13. Their eyes...they're always watching...
In retrospect, no one really knows why almost everything that came out of the Victorian Era is so creepy. Objectively speaking, it was actually a time of great human achievement and advancement.
Still, I don't think I could handle going back to visit if I had a time machine. I'd end up living in constant fear of death photography and sullen-faced twins coming for my soul.
