The Link Dump of Zenda
Giuseppina Magazine – Alternative-print mag which showcases independent, underground artists. Their latest issue is devoted to Cosplay, and there are some great Bioshock-inspired photos here and here.
Gothic: Four Hundred Years of Excess, Horror, Evil and Ruin – Very cool history which traces the “evolution of the Gothic imagination” from the artwork inspired by the 1631 eruption of Vesuvius up through the modern-day Goth movement. (Hat tip to hng23)
Come to Australia – A cheerful, spritely song by the Scared Weird Little Guys.
Lost Muertos Art – Spooky mixed-media art and other creepy things.
Make a Magical Toad – Calm Under Tension is launching a yarn kit for making your own magical toad. Because who doesn’t need a magical toad? Nobody, is who.
Vampire Car Decals – “Family” decals with a vampire-y bent. (Hat tip to xJane)
Monsters of Rock – Portraits of well-known rock stars painted as actual monsters.
Scary Stationery – Splendid custom horror/zombie-themed stationery.
Pirate Tattoo Tights – I think the narwhals are my favorite part.
Fuck Yeah History Crushes – Photos of good-looking men and women who are historically notable, more or less. (Somewhat NSFW)

What is the poison thing that lives in a shell that spikes you when you pick it up?

I may or may not have bought the tights with the narwhals and pirate ships :D
xJane the poison thing they’re talking about is a Cone Shell: http://library.thinkquest.org/C007974/2_1con.htm
I don’t touch anything pretty when I’m snorkelling – it’s pretty much guaranteed to kill me.

Edit: The picture they show isn’t actually the snail btw. It’s a crab in an empty shell

Yeah…from the YouTube description, I got the feeling that this was actually just a video put together by a fan using an audio track, rather than anything official the band did. The thing in the shell looks like a marine hermit crab.

Zenda – You already have your own magical toad? Sweet! What’d you name it? Thanks for the referral! Very kind of you.
