How To Haunt Your House

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a very grand statement... This is the single greatest book about home haunting I have ever seen. Every project is genius and the photography is gorgeous. And what's even more impressive is the Mitchell's self-published this, so what you're getting was created entirely by them! No publishing powerhouse with an army of editors and designers. Just two people who really know there stuff. (For video tutorials, photo galleries and a free preview of the entire book, click here.)

Spooky ABCs

(Maybe I should use this book to teach my son the alphabet.) Artist Ryan Heshka's book "ABC Spookshow" brings together
"weird words and creepy characters to create one devilishly entertaining alphabet book." From "A is for Apparition" to "Z is for Zombie". (Available at Amazon.com)

Skeletons on horseback

Here's another cool book cover. It comes from Alan Frank's "Horror Movies - Tales of terror in the cinema".

Skull book cover

Here's another great item I found courtesy of Secret Fun Spot. This book, "The Sleeping Sphinx" (1947) by John Dickson Carr has the most fantastic cover I've ever seen. (And by the way... don't bother checking Ebay. There aren't any for sale.)

Goodnight Goon

Tonight I read my son what is sure to become a new Halloween classic,
"Goodnight Goon". This parody of Margaret Wise Brown's best-selling "Goodnight Moon" includes "a skull and a shoe and a pot full of goo. And a hairy old werewolf who was hollering 'Boo'."

Cereal Killers

Delicious! Coming soon to a bookstore near you, "Cereal Killers" - A spooky, kooky "coffin" table cartoon art book featuring over 70 terrifying takes on some of your favorite breakfast cereals by some of today's top animation artists and illustrators!

Do-It-Yourself Coffins

Here's a perfect book to leave out on your coffee-table during the Halloween season. Also be sure to check out "Fancy Coffins" by the same author.

UPDATE:
These books have received horrible reviews. Purchase them for their kitsch value, not for learning how to build coffins.

Haunted Pop-Up

From the mind of Maurice Sendak, the man who created
"Where The Wild Things Are", comes an amazing pop-up book entitled
"Mommy?". The story follows a baby, who is lost in a mad scientists lab, as it searches for its mommy.

I had an opportunity to flip through this at the bookstore today, and the quality is amazing. It's definitely one of the best pop-up books I've ever seen.

Crystal Lake Memories

Jason Voorhees fans can rejoice. Your favorite machete wielding killer is now the subject of his own coffee table book. "Crystal Lake Memories"is the definitive history of the Friday the 13th franchise. 320 pages, over 600 photos and 200 interviews with cast and crew from all eleven films.
