Tales of the Brass Link Dump
Kissing Mice – Free pattern for adorable little amigurumi mice.
The Neurotic Owl Tarot – Kickstarter for a Tarot deck featuring oddly winsome little animals. The artist is posting some of the images here.
Vincent Price Sings “The Monster Mash” – This is an audio recording with a still photo instead of a video, but it’s still fun. (Hat tip to Pixel Pixie) Bonus link: Check out this Vincent Price/Monster Mash Tattoo Sleeve.
The Phantasmagoria: An Ancestry Of Fear – A discussion of scary “magic lantern” slideshows from the 1800s.
The Peanuts Gang Meets H.P. Lovecraft – I’ve seen artwork of Peanuts/Lovecraft mashups before, but this is the first time I’ve seen actual comic strips.
Cats in Hats – Book of knitting and crochet patterns for, y’know, cat hats. Because what every cat really wants is a hat.
The eTomb – Design concept for a tombstone with “digital remains” of the deceased. Besides being a solution to a problem that doesn’t actually exist, this would be hacked for the lulz in about three seconds. (Hat tip to Sisifo)
Labyrinth Knocker Earrings – Cute handmade earrings and pendants made in the shape of the door knockers from Labyrinth.
Nothing But Dinosaurs – For all your retail dinosaur needs.
What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew – Handy readers’ companion for 19th-Century British literature, explaining the rules and customs of Victorian life: Whether a duke outranks an earl, why the middle class avoided eating cheese, and the difference between a gig and a curricle.

OMG I want to do a modern phantasmagoria show!
!!!
I’d heard of these, but the short film presents so much more. I’d skip the drugs, though. And probably the electric current.
(and I’m so swiping this for next Tuesday’s movie.)

You know, I should look at all the things, THEN comment.
I think I’m gonna have to back Neurotic Owl. The art is neat, but she is just…well if I saw her on the playground, I would give her half of my lunch and ask her to be my friend.

Snthulhu is pretty adorable.
There are few things as fun as putting hats on unwilling cats.
One of my husband’s first jobs was editing biographies for a local cemetery. The videos play on repeat on the graves.
What knockers!
Where was this store when I was a kid? :(
