Crivens. Another week of nothing but links. Let’s think of this set as “a special treat for Halloween week” instead of “Cobwebs was too busy for more substantial content.” Yes, that sounds nice, doesn’t it?

Spider Web Cupcakes – Super-easy method for topping cupcakes with tufts of cobwebby cotton candy.

Halloween Manicure – A ouija board on one hand and spooky imagery on the other. There’s another shot here.

Scary Paintings from Art History – A roundup, with amusing captions.

Butcherei – Profile of a Berlin leather shop which specializes in kink couture. (via Bill)

9 Celebrities Reciting “The Raven” – Christopher Walken, James Earl Jones, Vincent Price, William Shatner(!), and others. (via Pixel Pixie)

New NMBC Clothing Line – Hot Topic has launched Yet Another line of clothing based on Nightmare Before Christmas. The Jack Skellington print fabric is cute. (via Linda)

Selfie from Hell – Short horror video which illustrates the dangers of taking selfies. The plot reminds me a bit of Stephen King’s “Sun Dog.”

GraveDigger Candles – Beeswax candles cast from real human vertebrae.

Death and the Afterlife – Interesting-looking “chronology” of death and the afterlife, covering everything from golems to quantum resurrection. BoingBoing has a short review and sample pages here.

Mini Monster Cakes – This is one of those, “cute in theory, WAY too much work in practice” items that might be worth it if you don’t mind spending an afternoon covered in icing.
