Think about it

- Clowns
- Animatronic humanoid animals
- Dolls
- Mannequins
- Doll houses
- Rocking horses
- Carnivals

Will YouTube streamers be horror villains in a century?

That's because they're old enough to fall into disrepair and decay, and the contrast of these rotting visages with their purpose as objects of a child's delight is what creates that sense of creepiness.

A lot of it is also some reverse version of the uncanny valley:

As time passes, and art/manufacturing becomes more refined, the older versions of those things end up looking much creepier in hindsight. Kids in the 50s didn't think twice about how terrifying their dolls looked.

When it comes to ghosts your fashion to be at least 50 years to be spooky too.

A ghost dressed up in a 20s era dress? Ahh!

A ghost dressed up in 80s gym wear? Yeah no.

Goth is pretty scary. Thats not that old right?


Has there been a goth ghost?

I think if you're a person who has died recently you need to either wear soggy, decomposing and moldy clothes or something that makes you look old timey like a wedding dress or nun outfit.

Yeah, but that was definitely creepy on purpose.
