Seeing as it's Halloween tomorrow........this one from Spalding United gives me the creeps. Possibly because circus clowns have always given me the creeps. I dunno. Anyway - this one freaks me out. The creature seems possessed of one leg, one tooth and has seemingly had the top of its cranium surgically removed by a first year medical student and a flagpole inserted in the resultant hole. Yet still it smiles....

Feel free to add your own scary programme covers!

That cover is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen.

Not so much scary,but they look like they're a bit too light on the loafers for my liking.

Derby's Ram / man footballer cover from 49-50(?) was also a classic of the genre, but I don't have one to hand at the moment.

Bournemouth programmes from the 1970s get my vote. Very creepy. You can see little ghost figures on one and the Fan with the scarf looks like a psychopath.

I hadn't thought about it like that - but you're right!

This cover seems to have slipped by the censor

The guy on the left - I'm sure it's all quite innocent.....

I'm not very good with IT but I've attempted to upload this Eastwood Town prog. Im not sure which of the lower two badgers is enjoying what appears to be an intimate moment.

The unfortunate title on the programme states 'Badgers set pieces' Shocked

Action from the Undead Cup Final here on Havant's programme........is it my imagination or is the skin peeling off their legs?
Those expressions on their faces Laughing

The font used and the blood red on black - this one just reminds me in The Exorcist for some reason...

Maybe Jon Ronson should investigate?
