I’m extremely picky about fantasy art, but I think Hong Kuang pulls it off amazingly well.
Lush detail, a sense of life and motion…and of course, gorgeous darkness.

After an arduous trip back to LA to stay with family, and a bunch of medical appointments to get through this week, gravity decided to have some fun and drop a large bottle on my foot, breaking my big toe [edit: turns out I have a bad bone bruise, but no cracks!].
Off to the hospital for X-rays. How awesome is that for someone in my condition? Don’t be jealous, folks. We can’t all be this lucky.
Here’s a great song about bones, while I’m gone today.
Got any other bone tunes?
Have you ever seen anything more charming than this romantic undead overture? It was written by W. S. Gilbert (of the famed Gilbert and Sullivan).

Awful Library Books dug up a real gem here:
“Photographs and text celebrate the joyous communication that can exist between humans and their feline companions as they engage in movement and dance together.”

Damn, right in the eye…
Sarcastic ghost is like “Boo…or whatever.”
Watched Poltergeist II the other day (great movie, but the first was awesome), and happened to pause for a break on this comical frame:
Oh, hell yes, haunted kitsch sweater!
Amazing pancakes (check out the one on the lower left…wow!):

The inclusion of something that has eyes does NOT an eyeball make:
Oh, you think your pumpkin is scary? THIS is how they did it in early 20th Century Ireland.
Ah, the 80’s…when movies had their own cheese-tastic rap theme songs. Take Monster Squad for example. What’s your favorite 80’s horror movie?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Music for Maniacs posted a wonderful mix of vintage jazz, big band and other swinging haunted hits. It’s so much fun!

I didn’t notice as many pumpkin posts this year as I usually see (if you have links, send them over!), but I can’t let the season pass without showcasing some favorites.

Due to illness, it’s been well over a year since I’ve done any kind of crafty project. I miss crafting every single day! Although I’m not actually able to leave the house this Halloween, that’s no excuse not to try to make my own fun here!
My lovely cousin Alaine and I had a mini craft party so I could make an idea I had been pondering this past week: ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES SHIRT!
If you are not familiar with this fine film, it is a must-see for any B-movie fan.
So here’s my shirt. I could see people perusing the booths of horror conventions wearing a fine killer tomato face.
Here it is, stuffed with a pillow, looking all round and evil (I’m way too skinny to give it its rightful shape).
I found a random bottle of green hairspray in the house (jackpot, right?) so I thought I’d make my hair into tomato “vines.” This was a marvelous failure. I couldn’t get much color to actually come out of the bottle, so I ended up with splotchy green patches here and there, and a whole lot of compressed air shooting in my face.
Now look at the camera and say FAIL!
I also made a valiant, though completely unsuccessful, effort with the bathroom mirror to get a picture that showed me with the entire T-shirt. I couldn’t use flash due to the reflection, and without flash I couldn’t stay still enough to get a shot that wasn’t blurry enough to be considered bad conceptual art.
Oh well.
As you may remember from Rabid Mouse Attack, I really enjoy making cheap, cheesy horror costumes. Are you dressing up this year? Did you make a costume?
