I watch the whole thing and it didn't bother me. But it does seem erie.

Yeaht hat is a freaky painting. I've seen it before on ATS though. There was a huge thread about it. It is one heck of a freaky picture..

Well it wouldn't be so FREAKIN CREEPY if there wasn't all that drama in the video!

If this painting scares you I recommend visiting an art gallery to see what art is all about. Google: Hieronymus Bosch

The painting was/is pretty odd and very eerie. What seems disturbing is that the male child has an adult's face, but without life at all. And the doll face is pretty eerie as well.

wow!!!

thanks for sharing this! one of the most interesting paintings I have ever seen I think...
it's just so dark, but im not sure HOW it's dark..


I found a good size pic of this painting for my profile page (else where).... but odd.. it keeps stalling on just that upload..

The kid in the short trousers on the right looks like a young G.W. Bush.
Nothing else.

It's all in the mind

Yes, I'm familiar with this particular artwork.
I believe that people who view/study it have mixed and (sometimes) uncomfortable perceptions of the scene.
To me it is simply art with a slight but definitive 'dark' surrealism.
I'd be happy to hang it on my wall anytime.

I don't think it's all that creepy. But, then again, I'm into creepy, so it takes a lot to creep me out. You really gotta work at it.

creepy, did anybody catch those hands in the background? dark and deeply disturbing, a welcome edition to my living room wall, right over to of the tv

I remember seeing that painting a few years ago. Today I see it again and it has the same creepiness. You couldn't pay me enough to hang that in my house.

The painting is doing what it's suppose to do if people are talking about it.
I think the creepyness factor is due to the music.

Didn't scare me. The use of a child as a scary object is a cheap psychological ploy which has been worn out by cinema. The child is a polar opposite to evil or darkness, therefore it disturbs us to see a child portrayed as evil or dark. Likewise, we have a psychological imprint of ourself as children, so the idea of children in dark or scary situations (even violent, god forbid) is most disturbing.
