On The Topic Of Creepy

Description

I have been fascinated with creepy and horror themed stuff for quite a while. The problem is that by having the exposure to the insanity that the internet contains and my own often weird imagination, I have become desensitized to creepiness through what some people might call exposure therapy. Very few things scare of creep me out with possible exceptions of things like a Sea Lamprey's mouth or stuff you see if you google the word trypophobia( I strongly advise not to google either of these things, but we all know that telling someone not to look at something will only make them want to look at it. I warned you).
So I wanted to draw something creepy. I started with a pretty normal looking girl on the top of the stairs and drew four more versions of her, trying to make each one weirder and more "off" until the last grotesque version. The problem with which is that the longer I look at something , the less effect it has on me and I spent so much time looking at this painting while working on it that I have no clue anymore. Obviously different people have different levels of sensitivity and different things they are creeped out by, but hopefully you find this at least a bit creepy.

I put a lot of detail into this so I would advice to view the image at full size to see all the good stuff and comments are greatly appreciated. Tell me what you find creepy, I know a lot of people share some level of trypophobia.

MMMM I definitely know what you mean about horror losing its impact over time. Exposure to it starts to really numb both the disturbance and fascination. I still love horror, but over the years I get less of that feeling I enjoy from it - that feeling of impulse to reel back, but then leaning closer. It had this sort of "guilty pleasure" feeling to it, but now I'm familiarized with it after seeing so much. Hard to come across something that truly gets under my skin anymore, as much as I wish it would.
