I’m engaging in a little spring cleaning of my Drafts folder. Please to be enjoying the results of my obsessive tendencies.<\/p>\n
Knitted…Thing Roundup<\/a> – All kinds of knitted monsters and creepy things.<\/p>\n SF Signal has a review<\/a> of a new short story collection called Poe<\/a>, which sounds intriguing.<\/p>\n “Vampire” Discovered in Mass Grave<\/a> – New Scientist article about a skeleton which appears to have been treated as though it were a vampire. (It’d be interesting if they removed the brick and it woke up, huh?)<\/p>\n How to Haunt Your House<\/a> – Self-published book by a couple of “master haunters.” Although it appears to focus mainly on props, it looks like there might be some interesting ideas for year-round decorating as well. Plus the site has lots of tutorials and resource links.<\/p>\n Flow Armchair<\/a> – Armchair upholstered in an interesting “human anatomy” print. First you sit down, and then it eats you.<\/p>\n Healthy Halloween Ingredients<\/a> – Useful list of good-for-you foods that incorporate easily into a party menu.<\/p>\n Thinking Outside the Donation Box<\/a> – Ideas for using doilies and other donated linens for original clothing.<\/p>\n I’ve often said, what we really need is a Cthulhu Musical<\/a>….<\/p>\n Dark Style<\/a> – Blog devoted to all sorts of lovely dark decorating and design projects.<\/p>\n Interactive Mummification<\/a> – University of Chicago’s interactive tutorial which explains the ancient Egyptian practice of mummification. Use a hook to remove the brain through the nose, extract the internal organs and place them in canopic jars, wrap the body in linen. Fun for the whole family!<\/p>\n Hello Kitty Zombie Birthday Cake<\/a> – That’s a lot of cognitive dissonance to pack into one link. The cake is awesome, though.<\/p>\n Eerie Elegance<\/a> – Party resource book by Britta, who runs the awesome Halloween party site Britta Blvd<\/a>.<\/p>\n Free Pincushion Pattern<\/a> – Cute little hedgehog pattern from Urban Debris.<\/p>\n Badger Cover Gallery<\/a> – Great collection of campy-looking book covers for SF and fantasy novels. These would be a great source of artwork for collages or other projects.<\/p>\n Fang Contacts<\/a> – I have never wanted a pair of contact lenses so badly in my life.<\/p>\n Uruk-Hai Unhappy with Portrayal in Films<\/a> – This sounds eerily realistic, actually.<\/p>\n The Cuddly Menace<\/a> – An entertaining parody of Little Golden Books.<\/p>\n
