Things that go bump in the night: Vintage 1920s stereoview images of ghouls and goblins





These vintage stereoview images from 1923 of a little girl sleeping while goblins and boogeyman creep around her bed and hover over her are a little silly looking, yes. But, they’re still psychologically disturbing, tapping into the primordial fear of something under the bed like some kind of proto-David Lynch type imagery.

I’d imagine these scared the shit out of plenty of children—and probably some adults, too—back in the day. Heck, I’m a little a-scared of ‘em right now!
