The Art of Darkness

Invasion of the Link Dump Snatchers

Foolish Mortals – Splendid mashup artwork depicting characters from the Addams Family in the Haunted Mansion’s “stretching portraits.” (Hat tip to Pixel Pixie)

Teddytaur – This teddy-centaur is probably supposed to look cuddly, but I find it oddly unsettling.

Gingerbread Overlook Hotel – redditor eudicotyledon and family made a hugely detailed Overlook Hotel from gingerbread, right down to an elevator full of “blood” made with melted Jolly Rancher candies.

Pumpkin Snowglobe Necklace – I have no idea why this is labeled “Thanksgiving” instead of “Halloween,” but this little blown-glass pumpkin pendant is lovely. There’s a tombstone version, too.

#gothplanner – A collection of gothy day planners and agendas. (Hat tip to Bruno)

The Gossamer Pleasures of Faerie Magazine – There’s a glossy lifestyle quarterly magazine “for people who have a thing for faeries.” (Hat tip to xJane)

Tobias and Guy – “A gay themed webcomic on the misadventures of Tobias the demon and his human boyfriend.” There’s an Imgur gallery of what appears to be an older version here.

Twin Peaks Tarot – Artist Ben Mackey is working his way through an entire deck of tarot cards themed around Twin Peaks. (Hat tip to Fiend4Halloween)

Monsterpappa – Amazingly-detailed resin busts and magnets featuring various monsters. Note that the examples in the photos are painted, while the actual product comes unpainted. (via Shellhawk’s Nest)

Welcome to Boon Hill – A “game” which is essentially a low-res graveyard simulator. BoingBoing discusses it briefly here. I guess it’d be nice if it’s raining and you can’t go wander around a real graveyard.

    Sounds like Faerie Magazine is sort of ‘Victoria’ gone fey… even though I’m not one of the folks who runs around with wings and believes there are fairies in the garden, the aesthetic is appealing to me.

    Thank you for the ‘Tobias and Guy’ – I’ve seen a few panels around on line but they weren’t attributed and I had no idea what they were from!

    I cannot believe I never referred you to Tobias and Guy! :O

    Believe it or not, I am a Faerie Magazine subscriber. Like Laurie, I enjoy the aesthetic. It’s all about pretty and mysterious and sparkly.

    I know, I know, don’t kick me out of the creepy club entirely.
