Steampunk Mask and Hat – Nice tutorial with lots of photos.

The Teen Girls Who Talked to the Dead – Atlas Obscura takes a look at the Fox Sisters.

Silicone Mermaid Tail – This tutorial is fairly complicated and expensive, but if you hanker for a realistic-looking tail and can’t afford to buy one this may be an alternative.

Behind You – Artist Brian Coldrick has a delightfully creepy Tumblr of drawings inspired by horror stories. “Each page is simply a character with someone, or something, behind them and one line of text.”

Blockhead’s Revenge – John Carpenter does Charlie Brown. This is a couple of years old, but apparently has been revived via the recent Charlie Brown movie.

Reelscary – Site which lists movies by scariness, and invites public votes to help with rankings.

The Final Connection – Author John M. Ford once wrote a song about death to the tune of “The Rainbow Connection.”

Dia de los Daleks – This is sort of an unlikely mashup, but I don’t hate it.

Enigma Cafe – This steampunk-themed restaurant has some lovely decorating ideas.

Plush Tardigrades – Great googly moogly you guys; the same company that makes the giant isopod plush has adorable tardigrades, perfect for snorgling. (Hat tip to Bill)
