I instantly adored this frothing flask paperweight from ButterflyLove1.
…and this sweet little test tube.
Cyclops plant: perfect leafy companion.
Such a cute, unassuming little ghost:

I found The Psych Store on Etsy while searching for neuroscience themed jewelry. I had previously found one lovely Glial Cell Necklace that was a bit out of my price range, so finding these beauties was a treat.
Awesome detail and very fairly priced! Both of these neuron items are on my wish list now.
The Dopamine Molecular Earrings are nice as well:

This informational film came up in most of my searches regarding vintage representations of atomic energy (yes, I search for things like that in my spare time).
Do not miss this one if you enjoy that mid-20th century PSA feeling. Great retro animation. I’m sure many people today do not know as much about nuclear energy as this video covers.

This is always a bittersweet day to post, since I know there are about a thousand more things I’d like to add…and even more that will turn up over the next day or two.
YES! On not only do we have this treat from the National Banana Association…but now we’ve got the WEENIE WITCH flying into town!
This sad ghost (found here) is a wonderful sad ghost…as far as sad ghosts go.
I was linked to this sombre EP by Forest Mountain Hymnal. Soft, gloomy atmosphere (really, how many times can you hear “Monster Mash” this time of year?). Pause that party mix and give THIS a try.
And for educational purposes we have this richly detailed Movie Monster chart (click here for the full version):
Yes, I always thought Frankenstein’s monster’s only real trouble was his hair.
I know it’s only “street art,” but I kind of want to crawl inside…
I actually found some new additions to my vintage Halloween ad collection in this post. Cigarettes!
I’ve got to hand it to Heidi Klum for not only being really into Halloween, but opting to show some muscle instead of skin:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
