I think it is physically impossible to be in a bad mood while watching this (after it gets going a minute in…):
How full of smiles and laughter are you now?

I started this post before falling increasingly ill. May still be gone for a bit…I had SO much to share this Halloween…but it’ll just have to wait for now. Here’s what I had so far…
Rockabilly Bride of Frankenstein. Awesome!

Amazing roundup of Halloween creatures here.

Two great cakes from Cake Wrecks.

Fellow 80’s kids…remember these?

And lastly, the always hilarious AXE COP (featuring Nick Offerman)!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from SheWalksSoftly!

I would love to get my hands on some more old and/or rejected pitch ideas from famed toy and gaming companies. The Nintendo Knitting Machine has been described as “one least genuinely enthusiastic demos” in NES history.
But the catch phrase is just so priceless:

Anyone know the artist for this?

I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.

A child destined for greatness.

Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:

I would absolutely read this one.

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?

Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.

I don’t think this ended well.

The end.

Children of the 80’s (like me) will most likely get a pang of nostalgia when looking at Andy Denzler’s paintings. They resemble the still frames on a TV screen when one pauses a VHS tape.
Love the black and white ones…

Just a quick post to showcase this amazing Batman nail art (if I ever did this, I would have to paint on fake nails because I couldn’t stand to see these designs chip away and fall off!).
