Every former child should relate to the following situation: you are convinced by some older relative – either a sibling or cousin – to watch a scary movie. You brave through the whole thing, convincing yourself that it's not that scary. I mean, the practical effects were pretty obvious, and the acting wasn't all that great. But late at night, when you turn off the lights, those freaky scenes you tried your hardest to repress start bubbling to the surface. You close your eyes tight, knowing that if you allow a glance at the dark of your room, you will find yourself face-to-face with some ghost or ghoul. But you're a kid; you have no impulse control, so you take a peak. In the corner of your room, you see a terrible, shadowy monster, peering at you in silence. When you turn your table lamp on, you realize it was nothing but a pile of laundry.

Photographer Helga Stentzel never stopped seeing faces in places and creatures in piles of clothes. Her creatively-designed sets will not strike fear into your heart, though. Scroll down for adorably quirky laundry creations!
