Back in the 90s, at the shopping mall, for awhile there was a sort of newfangled photo booth. The gimmick with this machine was that it would take a picture of what's inside the booth and then stylize it by making it look like the picture was being produced by hand with pencil. A screen on the outside would show the picture being developed, a line at a time.
I guess part of its "demo" mode that would run to advertise the thing while nobody was using it, was to use a picture in cache.
So, uh, yeah! Most of the time, as it ran through demo pictures--okay, cute idea, but not really all that interesting. But when it happened to demo one of the very few pictures it had in memory of people of a certain pigmentation, it would just start blacking the whole damn screen in, except for whites of eyes and teeth. Fucking disturbing and hilarious; taking pictures of smiling kids and automatically turning them into nightmare monsters.
