I love a good recut completely-change-the-movie-genre trailer, and this “Real Genius by M. Night Shyamalan” is just splendid. It’s astonishing how much editing and soundtrack have to do with movie’s atmosphere.

Horrible Huggable Lepers – Cute little plush (appears to be felt) lepers. I expect you’d have to hug them very gently.

Dark Adventure Radio Theatre – Classic weird tales by H.P. Lovecraft presented as they might have been on the radio during Lovecraft’s own lifetime.

Halloween “Trash the Dress” Shoot – Day of the Dead-themed apres-wedding shoot at a penitentiary.

Cthulhu in Love Perfume – Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab stopped offering this a while back; it looks like they’ve started again, as an exclusive for ThinkGeek. (Hat tip to Sisifo)

Quoth the Raven – Amusing Tumblr excerpt. The hashtag at the bottom cracked me up.

Gulp – Oh neat; Mary Roach, author of the excellent Stiff and Spook, has a new book coming out.

Once Upon a Time – Evocative little prose poem concerning fairy tales. There are similar bits elsewhere on the site.

Presidential Monsters – Action figures depicting various U.S. presidents as classic movie monsters.

Make Your Own Orgy Kit – Adorable little stackable naked people. NSFW. Duh.

Beautiful Abandoned Places – Stunning photos of modern ruins.
