SWINTON, Jim Morrison and Alex Pettyfer are Pretty. Everyone else, especially Eddie Redmayne, is Pretty Creepy. He was the worst thing about Pillars of the Earth.

Way to go Pajiba! I was on a roller coaster of sexual tittilation and serious creepage as I scrolled through. Porcelain dolls are right up there in the creep fest with marionettes and puppets (save for Harlan Pepper's puppet in Best in Show). That first guy is creepy personified! Eddie Redmayne. There's a name (and face) I wanna forget.

Young Tim Curry (I Do The Rock) and Cillian Murphy are off the hook foxy and they don't make me feel creepy about gettin all hot and bothered the way Robert Jailbait Pattinson does (but he's pretty foxy too).

12. - 16. All HELLA creepy.
17. For my sister's sake I have to say pretty...
18. BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, I'd go swimming in those orbies :D

Posted by: Lisa Bee at August 24, 2011 3:40 PM

Redmayne, Murphy and Morrison are clearly all from the same planet (Planet Creepyoid) and are indisputable evidence that aliens live among us.

Toddler beauty pageants are way beyond creepy. They are proof that people who marry their cousins should not be permitted to procreate.

Shout out to beet salad who inspired this list.

Posted by: PaddyDog at August 24, 2011 3:41 PM

Cillian is always always always pretty. And occasionally pretty creepy - but never without also being pretty.

Elijah's eyes and toddler pageants are pretty creepy FO SHO.

Posted by: janellest at August 24, 2011 3:43 PM

I'm telling you this now. My entire Emmy liveblog is going to be a series of posts about how I now "get" Buscemi. I don't know what it is, but I think I would totally do it. And I don't know how to feel about it, except for weirdly mad at Thora Birch.

Posted by: Courtney at August 24, 2011 3:54 PM

Are we talking normal porcelain dolls or those "lifelike" or "Truly Real" dolls (see the link in my name for pics)? Because the latter is definitely super fucking creepy.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at August 24, 2011 3:54 PM

All creepy except for Jim Morrison, who just looks like a tool.

Posted by: Pfft at August 24, 2011 3:54 PM

I love Cillian but his prettiness creeps me out as a girl. I don't know, it's like liking him is some kind of wrong for me, but I still do. I can't explain it.

Elijah. His eyes speak to me. It's like he's hiding a secret all to himself that makes him incredibly happy. Maybe it's what his boyfriend did for him the night before..., I don't know. He makes me think of happy things when I look at him.

Tilda is just creepy but it works for her onscreen most of the time.

Posted by: Candy at August 24, 2011 4:02 PM

1. Eddie Redmayne. It's his lips! That pic finally made me realize it. His lips sort of blend into his face. He sometimes looks like Voldemort if he had an actual nose and not grey skin tone.

8. Jensen Ackles is pretty all the time, not just certain angles.

3. Alex Pettfyer has a great body, but is such a douche lord in real life that it negates everything.

Posted by: kilmo at August 24, 2011 4:04 PM

Yeah, mostly all creepy. WHY IS ROBERT PATTINSON A "HEARTTHROB"?

I'd also add Willem Dafoe to this list. But maybe that's just me.

Posted by: abbytron at August 24, 2011 4:05 PM

How long until Anna Von Beav announces she would "hit" 73% of this list?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 24, 2011 4:08 PM

Young Tim Curry was pretty in thigh-highs. Woulda peed in his butt fer sherr.

Posted by: PissBoy at August 24, 2011 4:09 PM

I'm doing this too:
1. Pretty.
2. PRETTY.
3. SO PRETTY.
4. Pretty.
5. Pretty.
6. Pretty.
7. Pretty.
8. PRETTY. FROM ANY ANGLE.
9. Pretty.
10. I can't even.
11. PRETTY AMAZING.
12. Pretty.
13. Pretty AND creepy. Who could ask for anything more?
14. Creepy.
15. Uber creepy.
16. Pretty AND creepy. Again.
17. Undecided.
18. Pretty.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at August 24, 2011 4:13 PM

Eddie, Cillian, Alex, Zach and Elijah are all pretty. So pretty. Maybe a little creepy, but also so, so so, pretty.

Also, you forgot Matt Bomer on this list. All have such intense eyes and fabulous cheekbones.

Posted by: Scully at August 24, 2011 4:13 PM

How is Angela Bettis not in more movies?

Posted by: Joseph Finn at August 24, 2011 4:14 PM

I realize it's been years since he played the role, but Crispin Glover will always be George McFly to me, so he gets a pass on being creepy. I can't help it, he's my density.

Eddie Redmayne (whoever that is) and Angela Bettis, on the other hand? Pretty creepy.

And Jensen Ackles is ALWAYS pretty, like kilmo said.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at August 24, 2011 4:15 PM

I'd hit 44% of this list.

Posted by: Scully at August 24, 2011 4:15 PM

More like 78%, Mrs. J..

Posted by: Anna von Beav at August 24, 2011 4:16 PM

You forgot Jonathan "Rapey Eyes" Rhys Meyers.

Posted by: SashaPT at August 24, 2011 4:17 PM

I'd bang 'em all but I'd have to cleans them with fire first.

Posted by: admin at August 24, 2011 4:23 PM

THAT'S IT! I was trying to remember JRM's name, but I had (until just now) clearly been successful at blocking him out. He leads the Let Me Show My Love with a Piano Wire Garrotte parade as far as I'm concerned.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 24, 2011 4:24 PM

I love me some Tim Curry. Love love love him. Was so strangely attracted to him in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Posted by: daria at August 24, 2011 4:25 PM

Two can play at that game MelBivDevo. I too can add a link to my name!

Also, every time I see your name, I hear Kevin McDonald saying "Bell Biv Devo" in that Kids in the Hall sketch.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 24, 2011 4:29 PM

1) I know he's (allegedly) a real person, but something about him just screams "uncanny valley".
2) Ditto on Murphy but I'd still hit that.
3) I believe I've already expressed my feelings about Pettyfer, but allow me to reiterate. He gives me the feeling that he would not hesitate to follow me to my car in a dark parking lot, strangle me with my own panties, sodomize my corpse and leave it (headless) on the side of a highway.
6) I'd hit that shit at ANY age!
8) Delicious at any angle.
11) SWINTON = ETHEREAL!
12) He looks like he may have a mild case of fetal alcohol syndrome to me. For real.
15) Don't get me started.
18) Not creepy but a little too intense and almost accusatory.

Posted by: E the B at August 24, 2011 4:30 PM

And those dolls make me so sad. So sad.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 24, 2011 4:31 PM

Redmayne & Murphy - Creepy
Pettyfer - Not creepy, but not pretty. Put together off-center, it seems.
Morrison & Quinto - pretty normal looking, really, but they played creepy well.
Curry & Buscemi - Creepy eyes, but somehow compelling.
Ackles & Fanning - Pretty but in a way that makes them hard to watch sometimes.
Olson Twins - might be pretty. Too much slap and too much raiding Stevie Nicks' closet to tell.
SWINTON - Leave her alone. She's disturbing in ways I care not to define.
Pattinson, Glover & porcelain dolls - the stuff of nightmares.
Toddler Pageants - MADE of creepy, start to finish.
Bettis - Just pretty.
Michael Hall's marriage & Wood's eyes - slightly outside the pale, but nothing deeply disturbing.

Posted by: Sarah at August 24, 2011 4:36 PM

Why do the Olsen twins insist on dressing like a 1970s stereotype of 50 year old divorcees from Palm Springs?

Posted by: Cindy at August 24, 2011 4:40 PM

Where's that wispy, blond Skarsgard guy everyone on here seems to be so enamored with? He's a natural fit for this list.

Posted by: katy at August 24, 2011 4:40 PM

Whoever said "uncanny valley" for Redmayne wins.

Posted by: PaddyDog at August 24, 2011 4:54 PM

You could REALLY mess up some minds if you sprinkled on a bit of Ziggy Stardust.

Posted by: branded at August 24, 2011 5:01 PM

Redmayne – Creepy
Murphy – So Pretty
Pettyfer – Douche Lord (tm Reba)
Morrison – Creepy (Under that hair is the face of killer.)
Quinto – Normal, pleasant
Curry, Buscemi – Pretty in the eyes; Frog Prince-y
Ackles – Normal, blandly handsome
Fanning – Pretty
Olson Twins – Creepy but it's their own damn fault
Swinton – Gorgeous, awesome
Pattinson – Creepy toothed
Glover – Creepy, but I think bad plastic surgery is largely to blame.
Porcelin Doll – NO
Toddler Pageants – I said NO!!
Bettis – Creepy; giant-brained doll version of young Madeline Kahn
Hall's marriage – Eh, go for it kids.
Wood – Pretty but always looks frightened, which is creepy

Posted by: Kettle at August 24, 2011 6:00 PM

Eddie Redmayne can creep up on me any damn time, as many damn times, and as many damn ways that he wants. I'd like to personally count every single freckle on his body.

I remember in the Pajiba review of Savage Grace that Nathaniel Rogers refered to him as "jolie-laide" or pretty/ugly. I think that might apply to several of these faces.

Posted by: Heather Mooney at August 24, 2011 6:01 PM

Sorry, it was kilmo who pegged the douche lordiness of Pettyfer. Here's to you, kilmo. Reba, your list still cracked me up.

Heather Mooney, I saw Eddie Redmayne on stage and he was both hot and brilliant. But in photos there's something about his face that looks like it's been stitched together from the parts of other people's faces, probably by Serial Killer Crispin Glover.

Posted by: Kettle at August 24, 2011 6:17 PM

Did anyone else notice the single teardrop falling from Ackles oh so soulful eyes? I'm thinking "very pretty" too. AND the best sensitive "manly" man on TV.

Posted by: SLP at August 24, 2011 6:47 PM

Redmayne can look creepy as fuck in photos, but he won me over with a video interview he did for the New York Times. He was just so damn bubbly and enthusiastic and charming, not to mention well-spoken, and his serial-killer face is much diminished when in motion.

Posted by: CC at August 24, 2011 6:55 PM

I suppose one could argue Jim Morrison was both pretty and creepy.

BUT when I see him I see one of the many faces of the quintessential ROCK GOD.

Posted by: NeoCleo at August 24, 2011 7:10 PM

Angela Bettis is a striking woman and an amazing actress. I'd say she's beautiful and creepy.

Tilda Swinton is clearly Zeus' latest perfect offspring and I will not tarry and badmouthing of her.

Posted by: Robert at August 24, 2011 7:10 PM

Big fat "EEEEK" on all of them. Except Elijah Wood, because he is teeny and adorable.

Posted by: figgy at August 24, 2011 7:31 PM

I just recently watched Black Death and that was the first time I'd seen Eddie Redmayne... My thought process alternated between "What a weird looking guy... but strangely alluring... but creepy!... but strangely alluring..."

I don't think I've decided which side of the fence I'm on.

The rest of them: honestly, pretty with the slightest undercurrent of creepy. Let's face it, they don't put people who are genuinely discomfiting to look at on TV or in movies. Even the "ugly" people, a la Steve Buscemi, are still somehow captivating.

Posted by: MM at August 24, 2011 7:35 PM

The Olsen twins have always freaked me out. I just imagine that they're telepathic and they're looking at us all with those huge eyes and planning how to kill us slowly with knives.

Posted by: logan at August 24, 2011 7:44 PM

Redmayne – I would hit that so hard
Murphy – Ditto
Pettyfer – Very young, twist my arm, ever so slightly
Morrison – ded, why are you asking
Quinto – young Mr Smith, me likey
Curry- olden days
Buscemi – awesome actor, not in my five freebies
Ackles – soap opera boy, not interested
Fanning – girl, not my type
Olson Twins – Creepy
Swinton – I want to be her
Pattinson - not in my universe
Glover – Hot, only for his brain, a little creepy, but in a good way
Porcelain Doll – Creepy
Toddler Pageants – These should be illegal, they are so creepy
Bettis – Who?
Hall's marriage –Erm, uhhh, whatevah
Wood – LOTR ruined him for me

Posted by: Zombie Mrs Smith at August 24, 2011 8:07 PM

suddenly i realize creepy is my favorite brand of hot: cillian, zachary quinto and jim morrison are on my (laminated) list.

Posted by: red_goddess at August 24, 2011 8:12 PM

Sweet Jesus, that's a creepy monkey, Mrs. J!

Posted by: China Cat at August 24, 2011 9:17 PM

oh dear. apparently my type is creepypretty. or pretty creepy? creepty? preepy? oh hell. but um, on this list, things that are bangable:

1, 2, 5, 8, 16, and 18.

and i'm seconding the mentions of cillian murphy and willem dafoe. they are creepy but oh so pretty in the weirdest way possible that annoys me SO MUCH for finding them creepy in a pretty sort of way and it's a mobillus strip of creepshow intrigue because i love to use the same word three times in one sentence, because why not.

Posted by: betsy at August 24, 2011 11:42 PM

What? No Jonathan Rhys Meyers??!! Hey's pretty creepy, what with those eyes that pierce the soul...

Posted by: TrophyWife at August 25, 2011 12:13 AM

If Elijah Wood married Olivia Wilde, they'd have children that were nothing but eyeballs.

Posted by: , at August 25, 2011 12:33 AM

Yeah, you definitely missed Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I legitimately thought this list was inspired by him. Those eyes haunt me.

Posted by: letsspoon at August 25, 2011 1:40 AM

1. Alien
2. Alien
3. Crooked face
4. Possibly the devil
5. Hairy unibrow
6. The best devil ever
7. Probably an alien
8. I don’t even know who this guy is

11. Most likely an alien
12. Definitely boring
13. Awesomely creepy
14. Dita Von Teese

"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion". ~Francis Bacon

I'm thinking Bacon knew some creepy-ass pretties...

Posted by: Tarn at August 25, 2011 12:31 PM

Not only am I rating level of creepiness but I'm also rating whether or not I'd "hit that". Please be advised:

1. CREEPY - totally getting Voldermort vibes from that creep. Never.
2. Pretty, so, so pretty. The eyes, cheekbones and the pouty lips are all so pretty. YES! A million times Yes!
3. Boring. There's nothing special or unusual about his look. He's like Owen Wilson lite. No thanks.
4. Although he has great bone structure (eg. pretty) I'm still slightly creeped out. Nah.
5. He can be so PRETTY (ie. Spock, yes please) but also he can creep me out to no end (Heroes). I'll say yes...
6. I had no idea Tim Curry was that pretty when we was younger. Still creepy but much less so when mixed with that much pretty. Sure!!
7. He's not so pretty it blinds me from his creepiness, no matter how young a picture you find. NEVER!
8. He's typically pretty. Like every other hollywood "hunk". No thank you.
9. She's a young, white, blonde girl. Of course she's pretty. Still, no thank you.
10. Creepy and of their own doing. Ew.
11. Awesomely creepy and so talented. She's kind of unconventionally pretty. I'd so hit that.
12. MEH. So painfully boring but I suppose he's pretty. Still, never.
13. That picture is so incredibly creepy. Never in a million years.
14 & 15. So obviously creepy. Hate both.
16. Kinda pretty but mostly creepy. Maybe... with a hat on... and a blindfold.
17. Creepy-ish. Carpenter is creepyer when she cries. Would be a great story...
18. He will forever look like a child and/or hobbit to me. NEVER.

Posted by: Wormer at August 25, 2011 12:34 PM

I maintain the Cillian Murphy is the best-looking actor out there, but I do tend to gravitate to the fey.

"You forgot Jonathan "Rapey Eyes" Rhys Meyers."

TOTALLY. I think he is gorgeous.

There's a device, known as Fein(Languages like german made) multimaster instrument. That vibrates along with has a short cutting tool to get in little spots. It might lower the bottom of the doorway without having taking out it again. I personally use mine to take baseboards not to mention whatever else . not having getting rid of all sorts of things. Have a put in writing as well as symbol the tier on the bottom of this doorway about a second time the sum you must take off. Whenever on- you won't cut you will, genuinely vibrates genuinely extremely fast. Look at your community for your nightly rental hold in addition to let you for a couple of a lot of time.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
