AAAH! AAAH! TAKE IT AWAY!

Here’s a Shark Eating Another Shark, Possibly Photographed for the Very First Time

Taken by researchers from the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, this is supposedly the first-ever picture of a shark eating another shark. The shark doing the eating may not look exactly like a shark, but it is, don’t worry; it’s a tasselled wobbegong shark, which happens to look like that. It’s a type of carpet shark, which if you know your Discovery Channel, would know that they hang out on the bottom of the ocean and pretend to be the ground until dinner swims by. Normally, they eat smaller things, but they have the ability to dislocate their jaw and eat larger things, which is the brown-banded bamboo shark getting gobbled up above.

Watch a Russian Power Plant Explode, Look Terrifying in the Sky [Video]

Everything about this video of a Russian power plant exploding off in the distance and lighting the sky a range of colors seems too perfect. The car that caught the video happened to have a dashboard mounted camera, and the driver seems to be listening to John Lennon’s “Imagine,” playing just softly enough to make this video not unlike a teaser to some nuclear holocaust movie. Extremely unsettling.

This is What Ramen Looks Like Inside Your Body

I know that most of you have thought about your health and digestive system while slurping down a bowl of Maruchan instant ramen. However, if you haven’t, I’m about to force the issue thanks to a new art-science crossover projected called Mouth to Anus (M2A, not kidding). The brain child of artist Stefani Bardin, working with gastroenterologist Dr. Braden Kuo of Harvard University, the project centers around data from a pill cam that shows you what processed food looks like during digestion. In case you’re wondering, the answer is “distressing.”

Alien Brain Hemorrhage Cocktail

The above image does not depict a shot glass full of red Kool-Aid that was left in a very warm garage for a few months, but a drink intentionally made to look insane. Dubbed the “Alien Brain Hemorrhage,” the cocktail consists of half a shot glass full of peach schnapps, with Bailey’s Irish Cream poured on top. Once the shot is almost full, a small amount of blue curacao is added, and once that settles, a small splash of grenadine tops the drink off. Head on past the break to check out a video of the concoction.

This is How You Make Bubble Bobble More Disturbing Than it Already is

When you get right down to it, Bubble Bobble is pretty disturbing to begin with; it’s a game featuring two Bubble Dragons, Bub and Bob, who can produce bubbles from out of their mouths, trap enemies in them, then pop said mouth bubbles and destroy the enemies trapped within. Tobias Kwan shows us just how disturbing Bub and Bob actually are, with the above painting.

You Wanted to See A Horrifying Robotic Infant, Right?

No, this isn’t the terrifying spawn of C3PO and the thing from Virus. According to the YouTube information, this delightful robot baby was constructed for an soap opera by British animatronics expert Chris Clarke, so I suppose we can blame him for bringing this abomination into the world. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so harsh. Besides its metal wire fingers, stubby legs that abruptly end mid-calf, and horrifying face-hole covered only by an array of moving panels, what’s not love? If you think it looks creepy now, just wait until you see it start moving. See the video, after the break.

Beavis and Butt-Head in Real Life are Positively Terrifying

Artist Kevin Kirkpatrick made these prosthetic busts of Beavis and Butt-Head, taking an absolutely horrifying turn and making them realistic instead of cartoony. Check out more pictures and angles after the break, all of which can’t be unseen, so proceed with caution.

10 Terrifying Doors You Really Don’t Want to Open

Silent Hill 4's Apartment Door

Static objects are fairly good at being ominous: A humanoid figure too far off in the distance to have any discernible features, or a lone gun sitting on a dresser. They’re ominous because of the details the imagination fills in. Why is that humanoid just standing around all the way over there? Why do you have that gun sitting on the dresser in plain sight? For the details the imagination fills in, a door provides the biggest lack thereof, and thus provides a stomping ground for the most twisted, evil machinations your imagination can conjure. On top of that, they could be the portal to something even more terrifying and sinister than you could’ve thought, and after the break, we whipped up a list of the ten most terrifying doors in geekdom that are better left closed.

Scientists Induce Ant “Supersoldiers,” Discover Clues to Their Evolutionary History

Of the some 1,100 species inside the Pheidole ant genus, most have colonies consisting of two castes: Workers and soldiers. However, about eight species have a third caste called supermajors or supersoldier ants. Unlike their sisters, these ants have enormous heads and mandibles many times larger than the average soldier. When scientists found supersoldier ants amongst Pheidole collected in New York — where supersoldier ants had never been seen before — it was obvious that something strange was at work.

Watch a Cone Snail Eat a Fish as Terrifyingly as Possible [Video]

The more you pay attention to the Internet, the more you realize that snails are absolutely terrifying. Not only can they eat things with shocking speed, but this cone snail can grow to a massive size and swallow much bigger prey whole. Before it does that, though, it paralyzes its prey by emitting poison. After it swallows the paralyzed fish whole? It stabs it with a barb and poisons it again. Luckily for us, the video above has a good view of what it looks like to be swallowed whole by a cone snail. It looks like terror, if you’re wondering.
