Craving a compendium of unique, decadent, vintage/antique hearses?
Of course you are.
See a truly impressive roundup here (bonus if you can read Russian).

I read and appreciate all comments. Apologies for not being able to respond at the moment.
Been re-watching The Munsters this month…
Drink up!
Gorgeous.
And speaking of bats…
Hadn’t seen this vintage bag before:
Fresh baked…
Love these covers.
Beautiful bride:
Costume WIN!
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid!
I want to go here. So badly.
Anyone know the artist for this?
I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.
This woman, too…
A child destined for greatness.
I really want this game!
Bats and cats…oh my.
Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:
And another:
I would absolutely read this one.
Another incredible title.
Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.
The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.
I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.
“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”
Rather beautiful antique illustration:
Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).
It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…
Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?
Brilliant!
Serenade…
Lovely death and (a) maiden.
Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.
Heaven?
Hell?
For the ladies…
I don’t think this ended well.
The end.
I’m the kind of girl who stumbles upon pictures of The Barbie Dream Hearse by accident amidst my regular web perusals.
I forget what search made this come up, but I’m glad it did. From the website:
The Barbie Dream Hearse is a fun alternative to your regular means of transportation. What began as a simple play on words turned into a full-fledged business concept, serving Seattle area ladies (and self-confident gentlemen!) with a unique, avant-garde way to spend the night on the town.
I don’t have any immediate plans to be in the Seattle area (though I’d like to visit), but this shirt is going my wish list.
Has anyone ridden in the Barbie Dream Hearse? If so, I’d love to hear about it.
Does anyone know the artist responsible for this (I bet one of you will!)? I swoon every time I look at this piece.
The lesser known alternative to “shooting lasers from one’s eyes” is shooting pinup models.
My fellow introverts, here is a fabulous KEEP AWAY sign!
Who wants a start a club with this name with me?
From Cake Wrecks comes this awesome reproduction:
Hey, want some fashion? Here goes…
Hairdo hall of fame!
Excellent costume idea:
And while was not intended as a Halloween costume, I think it would work wonderfully as one.
Great alternative to to poodle skirt:
Just make sure you’re not dressed for trouble.
Lovely Crazy Cat Lady:
This has been circulating a lot, but I just have to make sure you’ve all seen it.
Two loves had he…
“Lite Brite, Lite Brite…turn on the magic of colored lights!”
[Imitates Todd Flanders] “Is your source on this reliable?”
This kid is going places in life…
Old Sunday School postcards are always cheese-tastically awesome.
The word of the week: HAMAGINATION.
I love hints of barely detectable darkness amidst standard prim and proper design.
Well done, taxidermist. Well done. Does anyone remember the Ren and Stimpy “Log” commercial that featured “Ultra Log” (which just had a hideous dead squirrel nailed to the top)?
Coincidentally, I also came across what might have been the goal of the project above:
Can this be me, please?
Okay…time to get some reading done…
For some reason, I always thought ouija boards came around before 1890 (when they were first marketed publicly). It seems I’ve been remiss in my spooky geek research. When Elijah Bond introduced the board commercially, it was simply a parlor game. Then around World War I, Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized it as a tool of divination.
Elijah Bond’s grave is perfect.
For the better part of a century, his grave was unmarked.
It wasn’t until 2007 that Robert Murch, a noted paranormal enthusiast and Ouija Board collector and historian, set out to find the grave, and Elijah Bond finally got the respect he deserved for his invention. Murch claims it took him fifteen years to locate the precise grave in the Green Mount Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland – and several of those spent working closely with the cemetery owners themselves to accurately identify the grave.
Has anyone envisioned clever tombstones or urns for themselves? Maybe I’m the only one who thinks of these things…
