The Link Dump on Haunted Hill
MadeYewLook – YouTube channel of Lex, who does absolutely mind-blowing makeup effects. She also has a Facebook presence.
Recipes for Brain Molds – Forum thread discussing various things to put in those “brain” Jell-O molds besides Jell-O. (Hat tip to cookie)
Cemetery Under Glass – Pretty little glass jars featuring funereal dioramas.
Leia’s Corruptible Mortal State – Splendid Star Wars/Haunted Mansion stretching portrait mashup. (Hat tip to Pixel Pixie)
Coffin Clock – Attractive toe pincher-style clock.
Terra Incognita – Writeup of a lovingly-detailed Lovecraftian LARP in Sweden. There’s an accompanying Flickr set. Some great costumes.
Brian Kesinger – Etsy shop of the octopus- and steampunk-friendly artist, where he sells prints and other merchandise. His Dia de Los Pulpos makes me immensely happy. (via ShellHawk)
McCre – Artist Gabby Wormann combines insects and other small creatures with clockwork mechanisms to create the sort of creature you’d expect to find infesting The Nautilus.
Diableries – Book which lovingly details a set of 1860s French stereoscopic cards offering visions of “Hell.” (Brian May, lead guitarist for Queen, is one of the authors.) BoingBoing reviews it here.
Bat Fan Pull – Fan pull featuring an adorable hand-blown glass bat. The same site also has a neat wall sculpture. (via Cat)

Huge Star Wars fan, even bigger Haunted Mansion fan!! Thanks for the find again Pixie, and thanks for posting Jenna! The coffin clocks are nice. I’ve made a few, super simple and endless design options, give it a try! Brian K’s prints are very cool, gotta get some. Everyone have a safe, happy, haunted weekend!

You’re welcome, Fiend.
Other suggestions for brain molds: fudge (use Wilton chocolate melts to get the color of your dreams), spinach dip, and a giant cake pop. (Though I tried the cake pop idea and it worked out poorly for me.) Fellow vegetarians, agar and cherry juice make an excellent Jell-o substitute.

Cemetery Under Glass – Would be fun to recreate any of your favorite spots or scenes. I wonder if they make a miniature Wolfman…

You had me at “Swedish 1920s Lovecraftian LARP”.
I’m in love with those bugs.
