We’ve done “share your YouTube links” for favorites, which usually means awesome and/or funny and/or interesting.

Okay. Now let’s do creepy.

Rather than over-explain the premise, just look at this.

Tell me that video isn’t a slow, ice-cold scalpel working its way into the foundation of your sanity.

This video has brained my damage.  
The other video that I can think of is the weird alien one. It’s a complex video but all I can remember in relation to it is ‘alien’ and ‘mostly black and white’ and ‘erratic camerawork’

edit: I often wonder what they add to the water in Japan.

If by “very vaguely” you mean “totally unbelieveably fucking”, then I agree with your premise.

What in the holy fuck, **Cervaise**? That’s not very vaguely creepy, that’s…ugh. _shudders_

This one makes me laugh and creeps me the fuck out at the same time.
