(Un)fortunately, cursed images go beyond the limits of bizarre pictures on Instagram accounts. Some professionals devote their time and effort to creating something so hauntingly appealing that it can only be called cursed, whether it’s pictures, videos, or full-length movies.
Aperture covered the pictures of one of them—photographer Patricia Voulgaris—who was fascinated with what makes an image cursed. It also suggested that such works often have some sort of a push-pull effect that can be both disturbing and soothing at the same time.

But if cursed images are so disturbing, why do this and similar online accounts have so many fans, you might wonder? It’s likely related to the way we are affected by disgust. Even though it is typically evoked by something far from pleasant, researchers suggest that “disgusting stimuli both capture and retain your attention more effectively than emotionally neutral stimuli do”, as reported by Scientific American.

Psychologist Nina Strohminger pointed out to Scientific American that liking things despite considering them disgusting can be related to a human tendency known as “benign masochism”. It means that people might seek seemingly negative stimuli to enjoy “constrained risks”, for example, riding a roller coaster or eating spicy foods.
