In keeping with yesterday's Haunted Mansion-theme, I present this awesome tattoo.

The Haunted Mansion gets Shag-ified

California lowbrow artist Shag has created 13 new pieces commemorating the 40th anniversary of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. "Represented in the artwork are some of the attraction's most beloved scenes, including the Stretching Portraits, the Ballroom, the Seance Room, the Attic, Graveyard, among others." Prints of these images wont be going on sale until August 2009, so start saving your pennies.

Monster mini-golf

18 holes of monster-themed, glow-in-the-dark miniature golf? Why didn't I think of that? With 22 Monster Mini-Golf locations around the country, there's no reason why you shouldn't play a round with your family this weekend.

Giant monster head in Australia

If I ever find myself at this wax museum in Surfers Paradise, Australia, I'll stick my head up his nose too.

There's a giant on my building!!!

The National Wax Museum in Dublin, Ireland is moving. I wonder if they're planning on taking this giant with them. If not, I wouldn't mind taking him for my Halloween display. I already have a giant witch. Maybe she and he could be friends?

Make your own monster

If you can draw it, they can make it. "The experience begins when you receive the Make-My-Own-Monster Design Kit, that includes colored pencils, paper, and a detailed questionnaire. With this kit you create not only what the monster looks like, but you also create a story about the monster and describe his or her personality. Once you've completed the kit and sent it in, the designers at North American Bear Co. will faithfully reproduce your design as a plush monster, including a descriptive hang-tag that tells the story of your monster as you have described it and identifies you as the creator."

Inappropriate baby costume

This chest-bursting Alien costume is so wrong and yet, so awesome.

Screaming hand

These are probably long since sold out, but I love the idea of a screaming dismembered hand. I've seen then in red and blue, but imaging how creepy they would look if they were painted natural skin tones.

Skull make-up and tattoos

Here's another shot of the model from yesterday's "Razorblades in your apple" post. Her name is Megan Massacre.

Halloween art

I'm still trying to figure out who the artist is behind these paintings. They're fantastic!













Update: My friend Grim of GrimVisions has identified the artist in question as Rado Javor. Click here to check out more of his gorgeous work.

Razorblades in your apple

Tim Burton fashion show

If you remember my "Blood Show" posting from the other day, you're already familiar with the gorgeous fashion spreads that AE magazine runs. As it happens, this tribute to Tim Burton utilized the same stylist and artistic director, Kattaca. I know I'll be keeping an eye out for her next spread.

Andy Warhol with skull

Andy Warhol's "Self-portrait with skull" (1977)

Zombie Last Supper

I'm probably going to hell for posting this...

Blood squirting effect - how to

Here are instructions of how to turn a "Swiffer WetJet mop into a sweet squirting blood effect. Also included is a cheap way to make fake blood."

It's a Kellogg's Halloween!!!

According to this article, "in 1958 both Post and Kellogg promoted individual cereal boxes as the perfect Halloween treat." I know I'm going to be in the minority here, but that's a movement that I could actually get behind. Obviously candy would be my first choice, but I'd rather get a box of cereal than an apple, pennies or raisins.
