They look like a movie depicting an evil cabal or monsters revealing a new dangerous product to the market that's going to eat you inside out or turn you into a fat gullible horde vis-a-vis leviathans in supernatural.

I'd guess because the face features are right side up it looks normal to our brain, so it focuses on that, but when you turn it upside down it focuses on how fucking weird it looks.

To be more specific, the brain has an entire region dedicated to recognizing faces in the fusiform gyrus. When upside-down that region is not fully activated, as the orientation doesn't correspond to the brains idea of what a face is (two eyes above a nose and mouth). Because of this, the brain fills in some gaps. When inverted the face region activates and basically tells the rest of the brain something is wrong.

Fun fact on this topic: Humans aren't born with the ability to discern specifically human faces, but are born with a tendency to look at faces so as to develop this skill better. And yet in the same breath, early infants can discern between similar faces on other species (tested with pictures of a type of monkey) that even individuals who spend their lives researching the species may not be able to detect.

In regards to the monkey study, I believe it was prior to ~6 months old, when habituated to the image of a monkey, babies still showed increase response as they would to a novel stimulus when shown a slightly different monkey of the same species, whereas older infants showed no increased response. Sadly, I can't provide any readings, as I'm just spouting off the things I've learned in university so far.

At the gala inauguration of the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology — an institution billed as a cooperative effort to confront extremism "by the latest intellectual, media and numerical methods and means" — Trump joined Saudi King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in laying their hands on a lit-up globe.
