I’m so sorry for the lateness of this, the most important day! Let’s just say that my Halloween didn’t go as planned. :(
For today, I have a bunch of things for you.
First, some pictures to stare at:
1. Here is the work of Joshua Hoffine. He’s a horror photographer that’s cooked up some really ghoulish pictures.
2. The Ultimate 33-Part Guide to Abandoned Places. The pictures on this are really haunting.
3. Chet Zar: Painter of Dark. Some really spooky paintings here.
Next, some more webcomics:
1. Monsterhood. Howie, a young human boy, goes to live in a town for monsters. Humans aren’t allowed to live there, so he has to pretend to be a vampire. A fave of mine if just because it has THE SKUNK APE! Oh, my local cryptid.
2. Hanna Is Not A Boy’s Name. Idiots attempting to be paranormal detectives!
3. Gingerdead and Friends. Takes creepycute to a whole new level.
And now some short stories:
1. The Yellow Wallpaper (Charlotte Perkins Gilman). A creeping story of madness.
2. Hop-Frog (Edgar Allen Poe). I read this short story as a kid and I’m pretty sure it traumatized me for life. Enjoy! :D
3. The Monkey’s Paw (W.W. Jacobs). It’s a well-known idea, but the short story itself is terrifically frightening.
4. The Hound of the Baskervilles (Arthur Conan Doyle). More long than short, but an excellent ghost story.
5. The Most Dangerous Game (Richard Connell). As creepy as supernatural beings are, there will never be anything more frightening than man.
A few songs:
1. Zombie Prostitute (Voltaire). NSFW!!!
And some stuff to watch:
1. Sebastian’s Voodoo. Some voodoo dolls don’t like having pins stuck in them.
2. The Passenger. Train rides home alone are creepy, aren’t they?
3. The Lost Thing. Beautiful short film about a boy who finds a thing on the beach.
FINALLY, A NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN.
There. 20 little odds and ends. Does that make up for my lateness?
I’ll send you an ecard with my reveal soon! :3
