Spooky Cabinet – Great inspiration for painting a flea-market armoire or other wooden furniture.

Real Life Mad Scientists – Profiles of real “diabolical madmen.”

ScaryGirl – Flash game featuring a spooky little girl with a giant octopus as a guardian.

Nightmare Before Christmas Trivia – Interesting tidbits about the movie.

Museum of Depressionist Art – Amusingly re-labeled artwork, such as Life Before Martha Stewart and Office Xmas Party, London Society of Morticians, 1905.

Craftastrophe – As their slogan says, “because handmade isn’t always pretty.”

Haunted Mansion of Long Branch, N.J. – This was a “haunted house” which has no relationship to the Disney version. Check out the scans of the rather unsettling “Haunted Mansion Coloring Book” at the bottom of the page.

Goth T-shirt – Okay, I thought it was funny.

Zombie Attack Prevention – The blogger doesn’t specify where the image originally came from, so I don’t know if it’s available for sale or not. It’s amusing anyway.

Ghostly Photographs – This blog allows people to submit photographs that they think capture images of ghosts.

A couple of sources for Latin phrases, which are a quick way to make something look sort of antique and noble: A real one, Latin Mottoes from 16th-Century Sources and an amusing one, Fun Latin, which teaches you how to say things like “The check is in the mail” (Perscriptio in manibus tabellariorum est).
