There's an unsettling amount of gigantic, terrifying human beings popping up around the world.

First there was The Mountain. Then there was The Iranian Hulk. Now we have The Nightmare, possibly the most frightening of them all.

What makes him so scary? First there's his height (6-foot-8), then there's his size (325 pounds of shredded muscle), and then of course there's the fact that he's covered nearly head-to-toe in tattoos.

It's a combination that'll definitely make you cross sides of the street late at night. Have a look for yourself, but don't look too long -- he could jump through the screen and grab your throat at any moment.

That moment when someone asks you 'How many more sets you got left pal?' Hahahaha #bucfitness #martynford #gymlife

The Nightmare's actual name is Martyn Ford -- he's a 33-year-old actor and bodybuilder from the United Kingdom. His Instagram and Facebook pages are filled with photos that show off exactly how gigantic this man is. The most interesting one, however, might be this gem that shows what The Nightmare looked like when he was just a daydream.

So theres some change! 10 years ago i was 13.6 st and now im averaging around 24st. That was me on my 21st birthday night out. Refuelling lol. I trained hard at that point, 3-4 hours a day of training to be exact. I was incredible cardio fit. Just not so much into the weights at this point, can you tell? Lol. So many of you have asked what i ate. Here are a few basic pointers to help you. Im not saying this will transform you over night, but i promise you it will get you on track for muscle gains. •Eat 5-6 meals per day •Each meal aim for 30-40g protein and 35-50g carb (depending on size and training intensity) •Protein sources i use are eggs,chicken and turkey breast,fish and steak •Carbohydrates are rice,sweet potato,oats (mainly) •Eat every 2-3 hours •Consume plenty of calories pre/intra/post workouts •Prepare your food in advance Luckily @lions_nutrition do mine now. Good luck with your gains and remember to keep eating,if your weight isnt increasing,you need to eat more., but only increase amounts slowly each time.#gains #progress #determination

It's hard to believe that's even the same person. Clearly he put down the Smirnoff Ice and picked up the whey protein.

I guess he's living proof that any normal-sized human can one day grow to be someone who invokes terror in his fellow man.
