Buzzfeed has posted a list of 32 classic witty comebacks (with pictures). I’ve heard most of these before, but they’re still fun.
I think it would have been a blast to hang out with Churchill.
See the rest here.

I’m sure many of you have already seen the zombie pumpkin spawn, but it’s truly amazing:
Perhaps I should start a “romance” tag for all the things I find endearing that would probably thoroughly put off most women (like Zombie Bon Bons):
This D.W. Frydendall Halloween Icon Portrait Show at Hyaena Gallery features one of my all time favorites…Hatbox Ghost (featured here and here)!
Check out my friend K.O.’s wonderful blog The Skeleton Key for Halloween goodies (great photos of her personal excursions and decor!).
Not Halloween related exactly, but monstrous…observe a hamster with a unique hoarding habit by CLICKING HERE.
And speaking of creatures, one of my favorite nature blogs, Real Monstrosities has a Halloween collection of natural spooky critters.
How about a wonderful collection of death (and life) masks?:
For the Hello Kitty fans out there, enjoy this little feline in the guise of your favorite monsters here:
A ridiculously cute spooky Russian doll garland, downloadable here.
Ugh…I guess at least this is preparing her for her teen years and adulthood when the only pre-made costume choices she’ll have will be slutty cop, slutty bumblebee, slutty nurse, slutty witch, slutty fairy…
More later or tomorrow!

This little baby buggy tends to circulate every year on various sites. Awww…precious.
Swoon-worthy decoration…
I’d like to see real photos of these:
These as well…
A lovely sculpture by Kate MacDowell:
Ugh…there were always the dreaded houses that dispensed awful Brach’s candy when I was a kid. No one even wanted to trade this stuff.
And arguably even worse…
(I’m not anti-raisin, but this is HALLOWEEN…who wants to gather typical lunchbox fare?)Definitely an inspirational image for awesome kitschy decoration:
Best passive-aggressive note card ever:
Well, hello there.
One lump, or two?
This is either pretty great, or a sad sign made by a dyslexic man named Brian:
Hang on while I hyperventilate because this collection is so fantastic (wish I had the source!):
Groovy retro style pattern:
Not intended for Halloween…but amazing:
Also unrelated, but this octopus looks monstrously friendly. He’s smiling. At you.

Most commercial Halloween products tend to lean toward the colorful, campy side. I love seeing *classy* products like the following.
From the Ministry of Stories:
Welcome to East London’s premier purveyor of everyday and bespoke goods for the living, dead and undead. We stock a pharmacopoeia of different types of fear, a complete range of edible human preserves and everyday household essentials like Fang Floss and Zombie Mints. So we invite clients old and new to come and discover why we’ve been the store of choice for discerning monsters for over two hundred years, and will be the same forevermore.

Quite an interesting articulation…
Couldn’t help but laugh at this:
Aww…it wouldn’t surprise me if someone started selling soaps on Etsy designed to look like these (there has been a surprising amount of fetus soap…why not put a sea life spin on it?).
A vintage depiction of an onion bringing HERSELF to tears. How meta.
Yes, it’s a claw…but doesn’t it look like an alien head?
So much pink…so much…meat. Valiant effort on the part of the meat roller.
The logical dessert spread after a setup like the above would clearly come from this book:
I’ve seen some bad wax figures, but Wax Jesus is looking a little rough.
I suppose it could be worse…these things could be happening.
Ha! No idea where this comes from, but it’s entertaining.
Here, have some emotions:
And now for your daily dose of confusion:

I tend to post about taxidermy gone wrong (since I find it the most entertaining). But someone who is quite aware of my odd sensibilities sent me this commercial for Ojai Valley Taxidermy. It’s so wrong…it’s right.
Thanks, Ryogue!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a thrift horror post, so here are a few recent goodies.
Is there a medical condition that causes two-tone bodies?
Two words: Wolf Eyes (and I ain’t talking about the band).
Frankenbunny…the perfect toy for undead children (that “cotton tail” almost looks like something is bubbling out of him *shudder*).
Pilgrim Children…of the Damned.
Ow. It hurts to look at these. Streeeeeeeetch….
“Oh honey…I want a portrait to remember you just as you are now…crying and depressed.”
Santa is either drunk, or serious about his Pilates routine.
And speaking of Santa, here he is incorporated into a mind-blowingly bizarre tribute (I almost feel offended by this…but I’m not exactly sure how).
What the…?
Look at this shifty-eyed, shady bear! Lecherous creature! Hide your children.
I always pictured Jesus as a fat lumberjack.
Today’s forecast: cheesy with a chance of scattered awful.
Some things cannot be unseen…
I find this idea cruel, actually. Don’t tease me with your pastry realism.
Party Aardvark bids you farewell…
Most images taken from here.

Sorry health nuts, but this looks delicious (I bet it’s still wonderful with healthy cereals and your favorite alternative cooking spread). I will be trying it for sure…
The instructions are very entertaining, too.

This post goes out to the Father of My Kitties (okay, so the cats are not technically mine, they live in a different house, and I have completely insinuated myself as the Kitty Momma…what of it?).
I bolster the hell out of cat self-esteem on a regular basis. Our boy was the runt of the litter, and now he’s the Alpha Cat of the house. And our girl doesn’t even care that her ass always looks fat in photos. Job well done.

I recently posted my whimsical decision to bedeck my honey bear with googly eyes on the spice rack.
I hadn’t given it a second thought until my awesome friend Lindsay sent me a photo of how she took the idea and ran with it:
This got me thinking of how fun it would be to get a giant collection of googly-eyed household items in any form my readers saw fit. I’d like to create an album of these and share it when/if there are substantial contributions.
I know not everyone has googly eyes lying around, just waiting to be affixed to random objects, but if you do…send a picture! Go bring something to life! You can email me the photos: shewalkssoftlyblog (at) gmail (dot com).
HAVE FUN! And spread the word if you know any crafty folks…
