Museums, and fans alike, are using the hashtag #Museum101 on Twitter to share creepy and sometimes terrifying exhibits from their collections.
This disturbing doll has no eyes and resides in the Derby Museums Charitable Trust. Dolls are creepy enough but maimed dolls are something we all could probably do without.
You probably don't want to spend too much time staring at this jar of moles. That would be the animal, not those bumps on your body. Although, I wouldn't want to stare at a jar of those either. If you want a closer look, head over to the Grant Museum.
I have no doubt this prehistoric fish will give some people nightmares. The sharp-toothed critter is older than dinosaurs and is also a good reason to avoid large bodies of water.
The Eastman Museum contains a photo from 1880 of a man who appears to have the ability to turn his head nearly all the way around. He could be double jointed or possessed by a demon, your guess is as good as mine!
Here are some masks from Greenland which look like whoever made them may have been on some type of hallucinogenic substance. A little too spooky to hang in the kids' bedroom.
English Heritage Walmer Castle is the home to the Duke of Wellington death mask! A death mask is definitely gruesome but becomes even creepier when you realize that's a grin on his face.
This sinister looking woman looks strangely as if she were from modern times after getting a lot of bad cosmetic surgery done on her face. The Otter Tail Museum keeps her hidden within the archives, and I don't blame them.
A creepy collection wouldn't be complete without a shrunken head!
