If little children prancing around with sausage noses aren't creepy, then I no longer have a grasp on reality. Artist Victor Castillo creates chilling illustrations that are not only comical but downright frightening.

No one knows exactly why they're happy, but I can bet it isn't because of candy. Be sure to check out the gallery for more horrifying--yet amazingly artistic--illustrations by Victor Castillo.
