How I Became "Creepy Chan" and Went From Meme to Model | Meet the Meme

We recently sat down with Allison Harvard, whose eerie images, fascination with blood and passion for photography made her a well-known figure on 4chan back in the mid-2000s, earning her the pseudonym "Creepy Chan." Her creepy photos eventually made their way in front of a casting producer for "America's Next Top Model," and the rest is history.

We talk about the origin of the photos, how they spread across 4chan and the web, and how she ended up being a contestant (and runner-up) on "America's Next Top Model." She also recently released and sold two of her famous photos as NFTs and plans on releasing more in the future.
