We’re not sure if there’s been a movie entitled, ‘Attack of the Killer Veggies’, but judging by the mass of strange, creepy and downright weird images of vegetables sneaking around online, there should be.
Photo: Some of the outlandish veg we’ve found for your perusal are convoluted freaks of nature, while others have been manufactured by the hand of humans, either way, this collection of your not-so-average common and garden vegetables should please everyone – yes, including your vegetarian friends heard saying “vegetables have feelings too.”

4. These dodgy looking vegetables featured in an advertising campaign for Progress Kids milk, claiming their milk has "a third of your child's daily nutrition. Because vegetables are scary." Bet parents had a great time getting their kids to eat their greens after that!

5. What’s cooler than Alien? Why, veggie Alien, of course. Aren’t these images awesome? OK, while they’re not exactly images of real veggies, they just had to be included for the creep factor. They were created by artist Till Nowak and inspired by the works of HR Giger and Giuseppe Arcimboldo.

7. The ackee fruit, when ripe and opened, looks a bit too much like giant spider's eyes for our liking. It's hard to know whether to eat it or hide from it.

4. This scorpion carrot was featured as part of a Greenpeace campaign to raise awareness of GM foods. The text, which is missing in this image, says: "The DNA of genetically modified plants may contain the genes of insects, animals or even viruses." Hence the scorpion, and why it's as scary as hell!
