Halloween Countdown: Clay Disarray
Posted in art, craft, film, halloween, horror with tags art, clay, craft, film, halloween, horror on October 24, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyHalloween Countdown: House (Hausu), 1977
Posted in 70's, absurd, film, horror, japan, surreal with tags 70's, absurd, film, horror, japan, macabre, surreal on October 12, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyIn the history of this blog, I don’t think I’ve ever had more to say about the topic of a post than I do about about the movie House (Hausu).
The film company approached director Nobuhiko Obayashi about making a film similar to Jaws. And he did…if Jaws were about the horror laden psychedelic journey of 7 giggling Japanese schoolgirls visiting a cannibal recluse and her demonic witch-cat. Did I mention the girls are named Gorgeous, Fantasy, Kung Fu, Melody, Mac, Prof and Sweet?
They proceed to get devoured one by one in the most absurdist fashion imaginable (well, nothing about this movie is actually “imaginable.” It clearly sprang forth from the deepest wellspring of the director’s haunted unconscious). It’s not just as if the movie were made by someone on acid, but as if the movie itself then came alive…and took acid.
I’ll be going back and creating a GIANT album of incredible screen shots from the film (the ones online don’t do any justice), but I needed to share this with you guys immediately.
Believe it or not, I’m put off by a lot of “weird for the sake of weird” films. But this is some next level awesomeness. I hesitate to discuss my favorite scenes because I’m holding each and every one of you accountable for seeing this film, and I don’t want to spoil the fun surprises, which come roughly every 6 seconds.
Yes, that image above is indeed a flying Kung Fu kick from a dismembered lower half of a human body.
Are you running to find this movie yet?
Halloween Countdown: Undead Teds
Posted in horror, monsters, plush, toys, undead with tags horror, macabre, monsters, plush, toys, undead, undead teds, zombie on October 9, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyIt’s pretty easy to find a variety of plush zombie creatures these days, but Undead Teds are a cut above (pun intended).
Watch one in action first:
Each UndeadTed is painstakingly made with individually custom-sculpted parts and hand-painted for a unique, grisly finish.
My favorite part of the descriptive text on the site is the following disclaimer:
Please note this is NOT intended as a toy and as such is NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.

I think this pairs nicely with the book above.
Gotta have standards.
I love how engaged Death is with his book.
Strangest strike banner ever. Unless you’ve seen a stranger one, in which case I really hope you share it with me.
Thank you Rachel, for showing me that Saran wrap and Bubble wrap are the fashion of the (retro) future. (Seriously ladies, would you be into a guy who confidently sauntered over to you in bubble wrap thigh highs?)
70’s fashion
I sense a seemingly incorrigible child and a maudlin, happy ending.
I can forgive the obvious impracticality of having a giant tube directly in the driver’s field of vision, because it’s clearly inspired by atomic structure.
A wonder what qualifies as a “good” or “mediocre” decapitation.
“Did anyone notice Grandma looked a little unwell today?
This could be a poster to promote neutering (PSA: countless healthy animals are put down in shelters due to overpopulation. Have your pet spayed/neutered!)
Just a Little Pulp Art for Your Sunday
Posted in art, comics, horror, retro, sci-fi, vintage with tags aliens, art, comics, horror, monsters, pulp, retro, sci-fi, spiders, undead, vintage on June 26, 2016 by shewalkssoftlyI’ve always wanted to post a bunch of great pulp art here, but it’s an overwhelming thought since my pulp archives contain thousands of images. How does one even choose?
Well, another blog I follow recently posted a bunch of images (some of which I had, some not), so here are a few choice cuts!

Posted in 80's, film, horror, monsters, TV, undead with tags 80's, christmas, film, horror, monsters, TV, undead on December 8, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyFellow horror fans…I confess I felt remiss in my duties when I discovered there were a number of 80’s Christmas Horror Movies I haven’t seen. A kind reader sent me this list.
Luckily, 80’s Horror has compiled a nice list of every Christmas horror movie made in the decade. How many have you seen?
They also note two awesome TV episodes (which were staples of my childhood): Tales from the Darkside- Seasons of Belief…

Otto Lehtonen
Posted in art, horror, monsters, undead with tags art, horror, monsters, undead on December 1, 2015 by shewalkssoftlySince we’re now getting inundated with holiday cheer at every turn, I thought I’d provide some balance via Otto Lehtonen (aka Eemeling).
Love his version of The Babadook:
You will find many tortured, twisted, grinning and otherwise menacing figures in his portfolio.
Fans of horror art will undoubtedly enjoy these undead creations.
Hallowvember: Killer Snail Makeup
Posted in halloween, horror, makeup with tags halloween, horror, makeup on November 4, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyNow THIS is killer snail makeup done right (okay, I’ve never seen it done wrong…or at all for that matter…but these guys nail it).
Swedish duo Elli Macs SFX is responsible for this creation. Here’s a tutorial video, if you’re interested in seeing the process.
Halloween Countdown: Guiseppe Balestra
Posted in art, halloween, horror, monsters with tags art, halloween, horror, monsters on October 25, 2015 by shewalkssoftlyGuiseppe Balestra creates spooky pieces inspired by beloved horror stories (new and old).
I encourage you to visit his portfolio and click on the larger versions of each drawing in order to really see the detail of cross hatching and pointilism. His mastery of these techniques is truly among the best I’ve seen in modern illustrators.
