Driving Miss Corpse-y

"It is hard to shock a seasoned police officer, but police in the Los Angeles area say they have never seen what they found in a woman's car this week. They say a woman was driving around for months with a dead mummified body in the front passenger's seat." (Click here to see a local news report on this incident)

Must... visit... Thailand!!!

So here's the question of the day... Would you eat this bread?
"Thai artist Kittiwat Unarrom uses dough as his medium to sculpt gruesome renditions of hand, feet, heads, torsos and other body parts. The results are unnervingly realistic with eyes, lips and other details constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes make the work all the more creepy. Sold at his family's bakery in Ratchaburi, Thailand, he displays the parts wrapped like food in plastic and hung from meat hooks. Apparently, the art is in fact edible and tastes like regular bread."

Pumpkinrot corpse

I just received this amazing custom-built corpse from everyone's favorite haunt artist PumpkinRot. Look at the detail he put into it. It's gorgeous! Right now it's the centerpiece on my dining room table. I wonder how long past Halloween I'll be allowed to keep it there...

Blacklight playing cards

For all you fans of both Halloween & magic I present
"Tragic Royalty" playing cards. A brand new design from the Bicycle playing card company that glows under black light. Red, devilish looking angels on the backs, skull & corpse-like glowing faces on the faces of the court cards, and a spiderweb Ace of Spades.

Light for those who prefer the dark

If lavender and lilac scented candles are too bourgeois for your taste, you may want to give "Dark Candles" a try. They provide gothic and horror themed candles to people "who have a penchant for the macabre and the darker side of life." You wont find any cinnamon scented votives here. Their unusual scents include:

Coffin ("It’s a dead ringer! A bit of old rotting wood with a bit of earth underscored with a masculine lavender to give it some 'body'.")

Corpse ("A dark and full base pierced with a stinging balmy mint scent, pleasantly reminiscent of a cold embalmed corpse.")

Graveyard ("An old forlorn, crumbling cemetery with strong tones of wet earth blended with a hint of Frankincense and a touch of myrrh.")

Haunted House ("A spellbinding blend of haunting forest woods, spooky spices and the witch’s little dark secret. A dark sensual fragrance with a musky quality.")

You can check out all of their scary scents here.
