The settings around the subjects add a lot of the creepiness to the photos, but for some reason I get especially freaked out by pig's heads. That one with the pig's head mask in front of the men's room really makes my skin crawl.

Much of what is on that page is more horrifying than anything coming out of Hollywood lately.

You can read one comment per image and the one for that claims to be the creator of the image and he says it's a painting.

i knew we started the jackolantern thing. but i didnt know that we brought the holiday here.
it was super rowdy back in ireland, and it was here in the beginning.

they rly did do nasty tricks. stealing gates was a big one back home.

Interview with an author- forgot his name. St. Patty’s day was brought as a Union show of force I think he said.

it was another of those pagan things that the church subsumed into all saint's day.

it was sort of a plague project to learn my own history, both my own family and ireland's. it's been quite interesting.
learned a lot of drinking songs, too.
