Mostly just creepy pictures with a Nothing Is Scarier vibe, like Don Kenn's stuff. Though I also like Body Horror stuff — David Cronenberg, The Thing (1982), An American Werewolf in London, et cetera.
Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.Actually, I've been thinking about something for a while now — does anyone else think that vampires are just glorified zombies/cannibals?
Not sure if this belongs here, but since I've been thinking of vampire/zombie mythology and how it relates to cannibalism — a taboo subject for many — I think it does.

Cringe but free
Anyone ever come across a visual interpretation of the Fair Folk that specifically capitalises on the Uncanny Valley aspect? Closest I've seen is maybe Hellboy's elves.

For whatever reason I love listening to spooky podcasts before bed and it's kinda becoming a nightly ritual. Some are just people reading creepy pasta, some are true crime or speculation about paranormal stuff
Datura inoxia grows wild where I live and I hear that ingesting it can, if not heat your body into organ failure, send you on a two-day journey of utter confusion, of panic, of seeing dead people, of smoking imaginary cigs, and of needing to piss but being unable to

Anyone else have a soft spot for Lovecraftian horrors that are actually genuinely friendly? I love that.

I love the idea of friendly monsters in general. Friendly Neighborhood Vampire, Friendly Skeleton, you name it! It's part of why I enjoy the Hotel Transylvania series- there's still some genuine horror tropes being used but the monsters themselves aren't frightening and the resulting aesthetic is pretty fun!

Actually, yes! I have an ongoing worldbuilding project on this theme, called Griss, whose native inhabitants all fall under the general category of ‘ghouls’.

I'd say I'm one (mostly into retro video game horror, there's something cool about pixelated monsters and other creepy scenarios).

Local bird with horrifying interests here. Been a fan of weird bugs since a young age (though ironically, most other scary things did scare me as a kid), and very fascinated with gory stuff.

Odd that I followed this thread for a while but just realised that I've never posted here, until now that is. note
Just wanted to share a random morbid thought that's probably a more common sentiment than this suggests; it appears to me that being a Nightmare Fetishist is not so much that of automatically seeing the frightening as attractive, but sometimes it's because things scare us that we find them intriguing.
or it could just be me, feels a bit saner that way 
What’s your pleasure?
I can't say goodbye to yesterday…
