Spooky gallery of Twitter horror-avatars
For some reason – probably the fact that it’s a close-up of a single, leering eye – Shane Richmond’s Twitter avatar really stands out. Of all the people I chat with on Twitter, his seemed the most grotesque, the most horrifying and I let him know this. Shane disagreed and challenged Teh Twitter to find examples of scarier avatars, even recommending a few.
We decided on the spur of the moment to investigate further and we now present our first gallery of Twitter horror-avatars. We created a hashtag – #horroravatar (and another for avatars that didn’t quite make the grade called, predictably, #horroravatarnot).
Please keep sending us links to the scariest Twitter avatars you can find, or use the hashtags.
Visit the Flickr page on Made by Many for links to the owners of these faces…

I SO disagreee Tim – shanerichmond does NOT have the scariest avatar….. it’s just a very saturated eye, that’s all… in fact, I nominated yours (ignored)…. :)
Elin – you’re right. I have already conceded to him on Twitter that his is not really that scary an avatar. Looking at these, it just isn’t. Not even his new ‘Facebook’ one. I was wrong. Shane’s avatar doesn’t scare me any longer.
His new one on Twitter does make the cut, though….
