From nightmare-inducing paintings to iconic movie posters, these are the works of art that prove horror doesn't need to move to scare the hell out of you.
Horror doesn't always need a soundtrack, a jump scare, or some guy in a hockey mask slowly walking toward the camera. Sometimes all it needs is a canvas, a few disturbing colors, and an artist who apparently woke up one morning and thought, "You know what? I'm going to ruin everyone's sleep today."
Throughout history, artists have been creating images capable of making us uncomfortable, fascinated, horrified, and occasionally desperate to turn on every light in the house. Some of these works have become legendary pieces of horror culture, while others are simply images that burrow into your brain and refuse to leave.
So let's step into our imaginary horror gallery and take a look at 15 pieces of horror art that every horror fan should know. Just remember: admission is free, but we're not responsible for what follows you home.
