32 Nightmare Creepy Drawings Made By Children

Kids — they’re bundles of joy, whirlwinds of chaos, and sometimes, when you hand them a pencil and paper, unintentional masters of the macabre. Sure, they might start off with stick figures and sunny skies, but give it a beat, and you might find yourself looking at something that’s more a nightmare creepy drawing than a naptime doodle.

Here at Bored Panda, we’ve done a little digging into this phenomenon and unearthed a collection of creepy drawings that are sure to raise an eyebrow or two. From unsettling greeting cards that redefine “special wishes” to scary drawings that make you wonder what was in that bedtime storybook, these pieces are as creatively creepy as it gets. They might make you consider a padlock for the cutlery drawer, just in case.

Go on, take a look at these creepy doodles, and vote for the ones that you think deserve the crown of the spookiest or — if your sense of humor appreciates a walk on the dark side — the coolest.
