Great example. I couldn’t buy this one because the faces creeped me out. Like some others here I don’t like scary movies - also hide my eyes during gory bloody scenes!

Very true, although the border is done so beautifully that I don’t mind at all, but those crocodiles are as menacing as can beMarche du Zambezi is soooooo creepy to me!! The snake skin border
I’m truly drooling over your toile!I 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)
First time I’ve seen one in action... divine
Those bloody lions are the detail that struck NubaMt. off my want list (I’m trying to whittle my looong list down)... though I’m glad they’re fed & I know it’s the whole circle of life thing
A nightmare of a different kind. I had to have Glitch because it was so pertinent to the media industry. But a glitch is also our occupational nightmare. DH was working for MTV when we got married. The first thing he did in the Bangkok honeymoon suite was turn on the TV and check MTV on the cable channel, looking for glitches. Luckily for me, this pixelated version of Ex Libris is a dream to wear.
Please do not feel offended, I meant it funnyi knoooow!!
almost another gavroche on the side
i was in a hurry in the morning, and decided to leave it as is, but surely will remove it later once i am free and hands are firm
i am offended by H, for making the tag look so silly!!
not even crossed my mind to take offense from you!
Never mind the crocs, the snakey border of Zambezi is terrifying to me!
That is the scariest scarf, other than the others with masks. guess I discovered I have a new phobia.
the first thing?
We ran around moving furniture because the air conditioner was in a separate room from the bed. ahhhh, youth.
Love the Glitch—tertiary grail!
Can anybody clue any Ray Bradbury movies like "Something Wicked this way Comes" or less directly, "Fahrenheit 451" where the aim of leadership is to burn books?
Or, my fav William Blake poem containing the lines:
"What rough beast it's hour come at last
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be be born?"
I toss these things out as prompts. Can't post a pic right now but I have one in mind for later this week.

Oh, Luna Park for Something Wicked This Way Comes and its creepy carousel!
And the quote is from Yeats, The Second Coming. I wonder if any of the scarves could evoke his really scary Irish fairies. The Wild Hunt - that's terrifying.

So no Persona, then?That is the scariest scarf, other than the others with masks. guess I discovered I have a new phobia.
I didn't think I had anything for this week's theme and then I remembered...
The Eye of Sauron sees all!
(Aarrgghh by Alice Shirley.)
As an Aussie, I don’t feel that snakes and spiders are very scary as they are much smaller than me and rather common. I suspect that the ‘jellyfish’ in Cosmographia are actually just flying rocks (the ‘jellyfish bit’ just being artistic licence (like how meteors used to be drawn)). On the other hand, I am justifiably afraid of sharks and the idea of flying ones (Nothing but a Dreamer) would definitely give me nightmares. (Although I vaguely recall a children’s book that had that concept as it’s theme; a boy kept as a pet a friendly flying shark!
