I didn’t save my source on these, but it looks like something I probably found on Monster Brains.
They just don’t make ’em like this anymore.

This post is really just an installment of “desktop goodies” with a Halloween theme. A few things I’ve right clicked…
The Zombanana has been making the online rounds like mad. I can’t recall my first source, but I keep seeing it.
From DWEIG:
A couple of selections from 64 Colors
Anyone know the source of this awesome picture? I wish I remember where I found it! If you blogged it…tell me…
Not many graves feature winged skulls anymore…particularly with bat wings.
A couple from Aurel Schmidt:
Wonderful take on a Suspiria movie poster:
Got runs in your tights? Make your pumpkins sexy!
Now, I’m really not a fan of dressing up animals…but this is rather brilliant:
A few more nightmarish odds and ends…

Great find, Mark’s Scrapbook of Oddities & Treasures!
If anyone ever finds a copy of this…may I buy it?

Tom Pritchard has one of the most amazing collections of Halloween artifacts I’ve ever come across. I’m a collector of many things…but I don’t collect anything formally, so I always admire the thoroughness and dedication it takes to put together a personal showcase like this.
German lanterns:
American lanterns:
Candy containers:
German noisemakers:
Pre-war masks:
Post-war masks:

Crafty Pagan’s Etsy site is filled with vintage style tags, complete with faux aged appearance.

I’ve posted a series of Day of the Dead paper cutouts, so I figured I’d take a sampling of other calaveras (skulls) in art.
Posada was known for his fantastic engravings, many of which features skulls and skeletons. It was hard to pick which ones to post.
This fellow is adorable!
How romantic…
Wonderful snowflake idea…
And a photo to finish up.

They don’t make ’em like this anymore! Monster Brains posted this fantastic series of vintage stickers.
Many incarnations of classic monster icons here…
Has anyone seen stickers like this in the stores recently? Clearly these are vintage, but I wonder if they still make stickers with a classic pulp art look. I’d love to get my hands on some.

Let’s start with a few old fashioned hairstyling devices…
You’re never too young to start paying a miserable price for beauty.
Lovely illusion…
This enticing image was a recent Suicide Food entry:
Precursor to the gold mine of sports drinks:
Although it was technically on Cake Wrecks, I think this cake is pretty great:
And for some reason this piece appeals to me.
So do these:
Party hat for the cephalopd inclined?
I would very much like to have this product by my bathtub:
Amazing.
Great new mandala designs by Shepard Fairey:
“Rats off to ya!”
Don’t you feel better, now that the anatomy has been explained? (I think I found this on Monster Brains…not sure)
Let’s put 20 seconds on the clock and see how many things we can find wrong with this picture. Okay…20 minutes…
Here’s something to get your mind off the Cabbage Patch dolls:
Halloween Countdown starts tomorrow so give me a hand with suggestions (*groooooan*)…

The image above…perhaps designed to be mildly unsettling…is nowhere NEAR as unsettling as this (originally un-ironic) piece of Thrift Horror:
Quite possibly my favorite comic panel of the month:
Now onto a little anatomy…
Nice legs…
If I had the proverbial “thinking cap,” I might want it to look a bit like this:
And speaking of thinking…perhaps “brain bats” are a great descriptive metaphor for certain mental states.
In my humble opinion, “vacation hair” may be among the least of his problems.
Fish heads, fish heads…
That photo reminds me of this extremely surreal video:
And now to cater to my love of flying squirrels (can anyone really be unmoved by this degree of sweet awesomeness?)…
This post brought to you by meat.
