Put your favourite bizarre book covers, bizarre DVD/Blu-Ray covers, bizarre album covers, on this thread, so we can all share the strangeness!
Try to avoid covers where you are just laughing at the look of individuals though.

In The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, the picture in question grows old and hideous as it takes on the evil of Gray's lifestyle. In this book cover version it just grows a beard:  |

This is from the album Tarkus, by the famous prog rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The plot is bizarre (from wiki): Side one is taken up by "Tarkus", a 20-minute piece in seven parts written by Emerson, with Lake credited for the "Battlefield" section and contributions to "Stones of Years" and "Mass". It is a conceptual piece in which its narrative remains ambiguous and open to interpretation, but the artwork depicts the Tarkus character in the form of an armadillo-like tank who is born and loses a fight with a manticore, which concludes with the appearance of an aquatic version of Tarkus named Aquatarkus. William Neal made the artwork for the album's cover and gatefold. The cover image of a giant armadillo on tank treads has become an iconic image in progressive rock. _front_cover.jpg)   More info on the cover concept here: www.loudersound.com/features/cover-story-elp-tarkus |

I don't think this thread quite works.
Ah well, onward and upward.
I changed the theme/idea as I was doing it as I didn't want to be cruel to people.
We live and learn.
