Scary Minecraft Skins

Horror skins work through palette and asymmetry rather than gore detail, which mostly turns to noise at 64×64. The effective ones use a sickly, desaturated base — grey-green, bruised purple, dried-blood brown — and then break the symmetry of the model, because a human silhouette that is subtly wrong is more unsettling than one covered in red pixels.

The collection covers undead and zombie builds, monsters, demons and horror characters. Several make good use of the hat layer for torn hoods and hair, which adds a ragged outline to the head instead of a clean block.
