One of my favourite (and work-horsey) scarves is Nuba Mountain by Sefedin. Check out the *actual blood* on the lions’ jaws. Aaaaagh!
A couple more for the week.
Like scarf1 mentioned, some scarves aren't really scary or all that icky in subject matter, but contain a few things people think are icky. Snails are generally in that category. They are kind of slimy and I don't want to pick them up (and in fact they cause about 200,000 deaths per year so I'm not gonna pick any up...)
Axis Mundi (he looks cute and harmless....but....)

I'm still waiting for Metamorphosis to show up! (Another that is not really scary, but odd and a little disturbing, and that makes it perfect for this week!)
Such a great Animapolis.
Definitely will leave those slimy snails alone as well! Axis Mundi is beautiful - love those colors.
Thank you so much!
Axis Mundi is so beautiful... I’ve always thought snails were kinda cute ( the cartoon ones espA couple more for the week.

There ya go! Not exactly scary, but I know a lot of people find the morphing faces a bit disturbing and squicky... (copyright @Cookiefiend )
Thank you so much!

Thank you! And I just double checked and... Yes. Really! (
) More than lions, wolves and sharks combined!!!ETA- this reminds me of the time I saw some video on FB where the guy is playing with a tiny octopus..... this one.....

Put that down!!!! Any octopi on any scarves???? Just curious....Maybe I should go look at Under the Waves and see if there's anything unexpectedly deadly on there....

Haha! Thanks much!
Thank you, Bunny! Glad to be backThank you fifi! So glad you're back now!
Love all the takes on "scary" here! Yes- my cats would say the same thing about fireworks....or vacuum cleaners....
It was fun- thanks! (And yes- the rampaging gryphons are pretty frightening!)
I just love reading your stories... almost better than the scarves! The Toile de Jouy is exquisiteI was scared of even looking at this scarf for the silliest reason. A few years ago, a scarfie showed a beautiful scarf here: it was Ingrid and it had delicate drawings of insects on it. I jump up and flee when a cockroach wanders by, so Ingrid was a scary scarf to me. Along comes a design called Flies, and I assumed, "Argh! Insects!" Took me two years before I dared take a good look at it. These flies are fishing luresBeautiful and deadly. My father used to fish and I never dared touch his lures as those bright feathers hide a gleaming sharp hook.

The next scary scarf is nameless but @Julide found a reference that identified it as "Toile de Jouy". The delicate drawings are lovely and creepy with skeletal branches and animals rising from swathes of ribbon. I call it a phantasmogoria. A more current reference: Terminator 2 Judgement Daywhen the T-1000 rises out of the checkerboard floor

This last design is popular: Mineraux. I have a lot of jewellery made from them so I definitely like mineral rocks. I also have a silly scary story. A long time ago when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my dad let me stay up late to watch a horror movie on TV. A crystalline asteroid crashed in the desert and started to grow, invading towns and killing people. I was terrified and thought this was actually happening. Several years later, the teacher set an essay topic "The Scariest Movie I ever Watched". I wrote about this of course. I remembered the title, the plot and how they destroyed the rocks, but I couldn't recall the hero's name. So I happily named him "John". The next week, when our essays were given back to us, the teacher asked to see me. Oh no! What did I do? She happily told me that she had watched that movie too. Oh no! She knows that I made up the hero's name! Luckily, she didn't call me out on that and I received a B for the essay.

Oh, the movie? It was called The Monolith Monsters, and the rocks were defeated by salt water (almost as good as the aliens who were defeated by Head and Shoulders shampoo)
I love Vincent Price. I am always amazed by your CdF... It does tie so beautifully!
Hahaha! I resemble you when I watch scary films... except I get up and go to the adjacent room until my family tells me that it’s “safe” to return...LOL!
Love this design! Gorgeous CW! So glad it will be back
Beautiful and perfect with those shoes!
You tie this knot so artfully! It’s the perfect knot for hiding wide borders and for minimizing gorey or unsavory details
I knew there were creepies in this one! I told myself to go back and double check... What’s happening in Cali is just awful... Hoping the situation improves... Please stay safe!
The perfect scarf fir this week! Amazing CW!
It is spectacular!
I love it... And, the graphic elements stand out so beautifully in this CW!
Thank you so much!
Axis Mundi!! i knew there was some slimey thing there! Love your AnimapolisA couple more for the week.

OMG I had never focused on that gorey detail!
Creepy and gorgeous at the same time
So I went back to look at Axis Mundi more carefully and did find a few bugs and
slimey creatures
All kinds of masks and hybrid characters in Le Bal Masque
Big mouthed crocs in Marche du Zambeze

Marche du Zambezi is soooooo creepy to me!! The snake skin border
In this cw, definitely! Very haunted houseunintentionally on theme

I never watched Star Trek growing up. Don't think it was on local TV, but one cannot translate Hollywood movies with a grasp of cultural peculiarities. So my kids were firmly drilled in the concept of "redshirt"!
@momasaurus, was it this photo by @ABQ2ATL? I know this was the pic that made me buy a Belle Chasse.

I was getting squeamish over the zebra remains ...
Kraken tentacles on the border of Voyage de Pytheas.
And I'm pretty sure there's an octopus somewhere in Nothing But a Dreamer.
