This concludes Yet Another Doggone Week of Link Dumps. Regular posting (and once-a-week Link Dumps) return Monday.

DIY Umbrella Spider – This is technically a costume, but I see no reason why it couldn’t be used as standard rain gear. Just use water-resistant fabric instead of the felt and trouser socks.

Beyond the Dark Veil – Attractive book by the curator of The Thanatos Archive which explores post-mortem and mourning photography.

The Day My Kid Went Punk – Oh, cheesy after-school specials, how I miss you.

Hari Kuyo – This Japanese ceremony for honoring broken needles is rather sweet. There’s a bit more detail about the practice here.

Skele-Men – Completely Serious Comics makes me giggle.

Hogwarts-Themed Hotel Room – A London hotel has turned a couple of its rooms into Hogwarts dorm rooms.

GWAR Covers Pet Shop Boys – This is kind of awesome.

Pumpkin Patch – Desktop wallpaper featuring the pumpkin patch from It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The same site has some other interesting free downloads too.

Epic Rap Battles of History – This edition features Jack the Ripper vs Hannibal Lecter.

Dreams of Death – Pretty photo series featuring the insect victims of carnivorous plants.
