Images of the Macabre
If you're feeling like looking at the stuff our far-distant ancestors had nightmares about, take a look at Supernatural and Fantastic Images of the Middle Ages.
The images include representations of the Dance of Death, the Alphabet of Death, many demons (such as a demon carrying off a child promised to the devil), and much more.
The site's creators give the following background:
These illustrations of medieval Devils, Demons, Witches, & Monsters are from authentic period sources. There are no 20th century-inspired fantasy images in this collection, nor any modern art with a medieval theme - these are the true visions our medieval ancestors had of the preternatural, the supernatural, and the unwordly.
It's an interesting browse.
