scary

If you've ever dealt with sleep paralysis then you'll know that it can be a pretty damn terrifying experience! In case you're unaware of what this phenomenon is, it occurs when your body becomes temporarily paralyzed either while you're falling asleep or when you wake up. During this time, you're unable to move while still being fully aware of what's going on. 

Many people hallucinate demonic-looking creatures for a short amount of time and will experience intense fear. Luckily, it's an extremely common condition and rarely ever indicates any sort of psychiatric problem, so aside from being temporarily petrified, you don't have to worry too much about it.

These people are meme-ing their own sleep paralysis demons to make them seem a little less scary, and a little more amusing!

Do you experience sleep paralysis? If so, what does your demon look like?

There's a bit of a meme rule that's been floating around since as early as 2003. It's called "Rule 34" and it states that if it exists, there's a porn of it. Well, we think there should be another rule regarding the "ruination" of classic cartoons. These creepy renditions of everyone's favorite Monday-hating cat have been popping up largely thanks to horror artist Will Burke. His incredibly creepy drawings of Garfield stalking Jon went viral, and have since inspired similar pieces from many artists. We've rounded up a bunch of creepy examples for your viewing displeasure.

Sometimes we get pretty complacent about the data we share with our "friends" on the internet. We get sucked into this share culture and forget to check ourselves. This Twitter thread from Dylan Curran is an incredible (and incredibly educational) reminder that we need to watch our internet backs.
