Victorian Ghost Photography<\/a> – Charmingly old-fashioned “trick photography.”<\/p>\n

Gammaraybots<\/a> – Etsy shop offering unique mini sculptures, including some great goth-friendly cake toppers.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Stupidest\/Weirdest Jack the Ripper Theories<\/a> – An amusing roundup.<\/p>\n

Shrunken Head Lollipops<\/a> – Brilliant tutorial for converting skull-shaped suckers into shrunken heads.<\/p>\n

Hamlet Absinthe<\/a> – Absinthe in a skull-shaped bottle; tres gothe. Also available in several other colors<\/a>, which I find vaguely off-putting. (The black is sort of neat, but the blue is…odd.)<\/p>\n

The Most Horrifying Parasites<\/a> – You weren’t planning on eating again any time soon, were you?<\/p>\n

Neil Gaiman on Libraries<\/a> – Lovely essay on the importance of libraries.<\/p>\n

A Spider Did Not Bite You<\/a> – Buzz Hoot Roar explains, with the help of adorable little cartoon spiders, why a brown recluse is probably not responsible for your “bite.” (Speaking of brown recluses, I always thought this<\/a> was funny.)<\/p>\n

Fake Bugs<\/a> – “Phony bugs are our business.”<\/p>\n

Beaded Death’s Head Hawkmoth<\/a> – This gorgeous beaded brooch has already sold, but something similar would look stunning embroidered on a blouse.<\/p>\n

Bonus Links<\/b><\/p>\n

Silly Scary Songs<\/a> – A collection of vintage spooky songs, such as Spike Jones’ rendition of (Ghost) Riders in the Sky. (Hat tip to pdq)<\/i><\/p>\n

Scary Hairy Bat<\/a> – Cute craft project. No instructions, but looks reasonably DIY-able.<\/p>\n

Alice in Wonderland Doorknob<\/a> – I had no idea the cartoon talking doorknob was so popular, but there are loads of people who make and sell these (some are functional, others are just for display).<\/p>\n

Gentler Horror Films<\/a> – A silly Twitter list.<\/p>\n

Haunted Mansion Wedding Cake<\/a> – This is utterly gorgeous. I love all of the little details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
