The Living Dead Aghori Monks
CVLT Nation is a place where people fascinated with the imagery of death and destruction can come to listen to music, see art and film and find clothing that exalts these things. But how many of us would choose a path in life solely dedicated to death, where we live, breathe and taste, literally, the stench of rotting and burning human flesh? The Aghori monks of India and Nepal spend their lives proving to Shiva, the god of death and transformation, that they are his true disciples by living at Hindu cremation grounds, bathing in the ashes of human remains, inflicting torture upon themselves to prove their immunity from pain like wrapping ones penis and scrotum around a sword (below); I would love to see Varg try that and eating rotting human flesh. The initiates of the Aghori eat and drink solely from a human skull plucked from the remains left at their home. They eat rotting food and garbage, drink animal piss, all to show the complete acceptance of all that is considered terrible in this world, to blur the lines between good and evil, pure and impure. These dichotomies do not exist to the Aghori; they know that without one another, neither would exist, and they embrace their place in society as feared and disgusting to the average person. This lifestyle makes what we do here look like a bunch of pansy shit, to be perfectly honest. Yeah, I wear my heart on my sleeve, sometimes literally, when it comes to metal, and people in my community think me and Sean look kind of freaky, but I dont think I could take it as far as these guys do. Admiring post-mortem photography is one thing, getting hungry looking at it is another. But there is something beautiful about these men and women who paint their faces with blood and ash and wear their dreadlocks long and proud. After the jump, watch a short documentary about the Aghori and check out some amazing photos of this 1000-year-old Hindu sect.
Happy Easter.
Ahhh the Creepy Image thread...
Funny how it only gets bumped really late at night! It's 4AM over here! =D
By the way, that cool GIF is from a fairly new movie. I think it can be considered a spoiler.

That's a bit creepy. Absolutely stunning photography work though.
His family was contacting him through the grave. His mother telling Tatsuya's brother to contact him means he's next to die.
His mother knew about the murders and was disposing of the bodies herself.
The prize money is the $50 dollars; the narrator is stuck in a box.
This one was hard. The missing chick was on top of the elevator.
Uh, this one was weird. I think maybe.. his family has gone nuts? They're living off of salt and tap water so I doubt they can afford a cellphone and TV.
The kid calls it Final Fantasy 1 instead of just Final Fantasy, which means he knew there'd be sequels, which means he can tell the future.
Recycled bag is a baby corpse. Bleugh.
He's not going to murder them...Good job, bigevilturtle.
- There's another possibility for this one.Since the guy knows when the passengers are going to die, he might murder them himself in order to "fulfill the prophecy". If he doesn't, he might die with them in a trainwreck.
More specifically,The guy goes about his day, seeing when people will die. If someone would die soon, he would know because their looks and death age seemed to match. When he enters the train, he is horrified because everyone seems to match their death age. The train is gonna crash.
I thinkThird, box as in a room? Maybe. But yeah, the old man got away with the money. I didn't see the creepy factor in this until you said this. So its plausible.
With that one, I don't think it should have said "9 adults." I don't thinkYour elevator explanation was pretty good. I racked my brain for a bit lol, it doesn't help that MGS's Octacon/5 invisible people scenario was messing with my head lol.
Unfortunately,Recycled corpse is too disturbing for me to conclude and him being frozen possibly make me think she had murdered the man to keep her secret. Arg to possibly contribute more to the bag she's making.
I'm a courier, and sometimes my job takes me into bad parts of town. One day, I was delivering a package to this crappy old apartment building in a bad area of Tokyo. It was hot and i was feeling lazy, so I decided to take the elevator. I pushed the open button and the doors opened immediately. But as soon as they did, this woman ran out screaming with this crazy look on her face. She ran out of the building before I could say a word.
Who knows what THAT was about. Maybe it was some yakuza thing? Like thy were whoring her out or something? Who knows that goes on in a run down old hellhole like this.
I looked inside the elevator, just to check for scary murderers. Nope, nothing. Oh well.
I get inside and hit the button for my floor.
Gah. I'm really not getting this one. I thinkFirst one, I figured he did in his own brother because the calls stopped immediately after that. See that the brother was at least dead for a month and there still were no calls in May before June except on the first. So there's 2 months worth of no calls and one is when he was alive. But yes, the parents probably were calling him too since he wasn't that surprised by the recording.
I really don't get that one. I wish I could get a good, full answer for it. You can't live for 6 months on salt and tap water obviously. Even if he killed them who were the other two? Bleh.The fifth one is already had been posted in this thread earlier and someone said that the man had murdered his family and had been lying about their status. He's the one living off of their savings.
Um what? Okay, so you can't get a picture of a full body mirror showing an empty room... what does that tell us? Are any of the other details relevant? Bah!Two years ago, a good friend of mine was riding his motorcycle, and he crashed into a tree and died. It was really sudden. The day after the funeral, five of us went to his place and sorted through his stuff. This guy loved taking pictures, and he had tons of photos of the campus, the local parts, landscapes, that sort of thing. There was one that was kind of weird though. It was a photo of a bathroom mirror. Just a straight on shot of a full body mirror, reflecting back on an empty bathroom.
Wonder if linking to CD cover on Amazon will work...anyway this CD cover always freaks me out (I have the physical version)
fucking shit christ
Ah, Joel-Peter Witkin, my favorite photographer/artist.
They used one of his works for the hospital scene in Jacob's Ladder.
