Some people get their hit from watching horror movies, doing extreme sports, or chasing risky experiences. But some people (not necessarily excluding the previous categories) also derive guilty pleasure from looking at cursed images.
This genre of internet visuals includes weird, unsettling, gross, and often completely illogical photos. For instance, a cooked fish head rearranged with corn kernels for teeth and peas in its eye sockets. Or a finger so violently wrinkled and pruned from water that it looks unnatural and creepy.
