The Creepiest Things You’ll Ever See
ALIEN. ROSEMARY’S BABY. INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. THE THING. We’ve had a few great horror films over the past fifty years, but not a one of them is scary as this shit. These are all "professionally" retouched photos of little girls by real companies on the web.
"Martha."
"Yes, Bob."
"I thought we’d send out a picture of our little Mindy with this year’s Christmas cards."
"Well, that’s a great idea, Bob, theoretically, but – don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Mindy – and she’s adorable – I mean, TO ME – but, her face is rather, it’s, well…"
"Fucked up?"
"Exactly, Bob. Her snaggly teeth, the bags under her eyes. What will people think of me?"
"Well, I believe I have a way to take care of that – "
"Isn’t four a little young for a face-lift, Bob?"
"Not that, dear. I know a guy. He does photo retouching. Doesn’t cost that much. We can turn Mindy into the little girl we always wanted!"
"Fantastic, Bob! And while you’re at it, could you make her face look like a sheet of flat fucking plastic with a couple of taxidermist’s glass eyeballs?"
"Martha!? "
"Yes?"
"What you just said — I’m coming!"
"Abby is ADORABLE. But you know what would make her more adorable? If she was Nathan Lane at 3 a.m. on a Saturday night."
"I am so sick of Victoria’s droopy right eye I can’t even tell you. Mr. Retoucher, honestly, I need you to follow us around and retouch her fucking eye wherever we fucking go, ’cause I just can’t deal with this shit anymore. I’m going to do something crazy, like cut a bitch up, and it will be your fucking fault for not retouching her while she’s all up in my grill wanting a kiss from Daddy and shit, droop, droop, droop, droopin’."
I don’t get it. They put a hat on her? Other than that she looks exactly the same.
If this thing on the right came out of my wife’s womb I’d have to smash it with a stick.
All right, admittedly, you’re gonna lose either way with this one.
"Everything about Beatrice is perfect. Except her fucking head. Let’s give her one that’s more – I don’t know – whore-like."

The people who think this is a good idea are the same people who put their 2-year-olds in beauty pageants. For an even scarier time, check out ‘Living Dolls’, a documentary about those jerks.
On a side note, those photos are all the more creepier because the touch-up artists suck so bad at Photoshop.

These never stop being disturbing–for the images themselves and the motivation and rationale behind them. *shudder* They really do look taxidermied.
It reminds me of that ep of Bones with the dead pageant girl. God I love Boreanz…what were we talking about again?

SomethingAwful had a confrontation with the woman who does these photos years ago.

and, of course, they made a few of their own… here are three of my favorites.

Good thing I haven’t had breakfast yet. It would be all over my keyboard.

WTF… thanks. I will now have to drink myself to sleep tonight after seeing this horror.

Apparently those will set you back $75. She also does boys.

This Christmas, what better way for Mommy and Daddy to say, “I can’t stand the fucking sight of you!” than with a retouched photo? Is your child dead? Ask about our Taxidermy plan.
And hey, when you’re not fucking around and REALLY want to damage your child’s psyche, get the Just-Like-Me doll! A real piece of genuine plastic made to look Just! Like! Them!
Sorry, Caucasian dolls only, but we’ll be happy to make a white doll of your black child! What better way to crush her self-esteem? Now force her to smile for the photo! Ah, precious memories!

Scary. I could Photoshop a picture of Chucky in there if they weren’t head shots.

I can’t stop laughing!

I don’t know why they feel the need to make them so damn flat. It looks like someones just spackled their faces on.
That Beatrice comment cracks me up.
