Penny Dreadful Tarot Cards<\/a> – Tarot deck featuring creepy artwork similar to the cards used by Vanessa Ives in the Showtime series.<\/p>\n

6 Archaeological Discoveries Scarier Than Any Horror Movie<\/a> – A rather breathless roundup from Cracked. The severed-hand pit is neat.<\/p>\n

The Turnip Princess and Other Newly Discovered Fairy Tales<\/a> – A collection of folktales that are significantly…earthier…than Grimm. There’s a review at Salon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

French Perfume Maker Bottles Scent of the Departed<\/a> – For one brief moment I thought this somehow involved cremated remains and wondered, “How does that<\/em> work?” but the truth is both more prosaic and weirder. This company claims that it can extract the unique scent of a departed loved one and turn it into a perfume. (Hat tip to pdq)<\/i><\/p>\n

Be Witching<\/a> – Odd little pen-and-paper game in which you compete to become Witchqueen of the ball.<\/p>\n

Spooky Sandwiches<\/a> – The li’l “Spider Sliders” are cute.<\/p>\n

Octopus Fork Necklace<\/a> – Attractive necklace made from repurposed forks. There’s a matching brooch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parcel of Terror<\/a> – Monthly subscription service which offers “an assortment of handmade items that represent the horror genre in all its forms.”<\/p>\n

Goth Chic Accessories<\/a> – Etsy shop full of interestingly spooky items like a Raven Skull USB Drive<\/a>, Addams Family Cufflinks<\/a>, and an astonishing Skull Shaving Brush<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Edison’s Talking Dolls<\/a> – In 1890, Thomas Edison used miniature phonographs to create talking dolls. Some of their recordings have been recently digitized<\/a>, and they are creepy as all get-out. Commenter Janice points out that these would make excellent ringtones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
