Derweze, also known as the door to hell, is a 70 meter wide hole in the middle of the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan. The hole was formed in 1971 when a team of soviet geologists had their drilling rig collapse when they hit a cavern filled with natural gas. In an attempt to avoid poisonous discharge, they decided to burn it off, thinking that the gas would be depleted in only a few days. Derweze is still burning today

The Right Trousers (1995)

British comedian Lenny Henry decided that a live action Wallace and Gromit Christmas special (The Right Trousers) would be a great idea. He also decided to play both Wallace and Gromit himself.

He stayed true to the source material but the end result was really disturbing. It received a backlash from viewers for being creepy (even though it was unintentional) and was never re-broadcast.

Snapdragon Seed Pod

Also known as Antirrhinum majus, this wildflower starts to look like a skull during late summer after it’s petals fall out and reveal a green sea pod which slowly browns. It also has some interesting legends associated with it like that concealing one in your room or person will make you seem “fascinating” and even repel evil spirits.

Another legend is that any woman that consumes this wildflower will have eternal beauty which is just ridiculous since every part of the snapdragon is poisonous.
