Creepy Skulls Slouchy Hat<\/a> – Ravelry crochet pattern for a skull-covered hat.<\/p>\n

Pretzel Screams<\/a> – Super-easy idea for a party treat. I’d never really thought of a pretzel as looking horrified before, but it turns out that if you give them eyes they totally do.<\/p>\n

Gemma O’Brien<\/a> – Artist spotlight of some of O’Brien’s work. She does gorgeous, intricately-detailed illustrations. (Hat tip to Guilherme)<\/i><\/p>\n

Extraordinary Tales<\/a> – An animated anthology of five of Poe’s short stories will be released on October 23. The article says that each story is narrated by a different actor, including Christopher Lee, Roger Corman, Guillermo Del Toro and Bela Lugosi, but since a couple of those guys have been dead for a while I’m assuming that “narrated” in this case means “using old recordings.”<\/p>\n

Crazy Bonez<\/a> – Good-looking skeletal animal props. Spiders<\/a> may not technically have skeletons but we’ll ignore that fact for now.<\/p>\n

Neil Gaiman on Banned Books<\/a> – An interview with the author.<\/p>\n

Arachnophobia<\/a> – “Performance art” clock intended to remind us that “time creeps up on us all.” Whatever; it’s a clock shaped like a spider.<\/p>\n

Ice Skull Molds<\/a> – Molds that make 3D skull-shaped ice cubes. You’d have to start making them a month in advance to have enough for a party, but they’re neat anyway.<\/p>\n

Li’l Ghost Garden<\/a> – Serene little desktop game in which you direct a ghost to tend a virtual garden.<\/p>\n

All the Best “Straight Outta” Submissions<\/a> – io9 has a roundup of science fiction\/fantasy-themed “Straight Outta” album covers. The Alien<\/i> one is my favorite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
