Beethoven’s birthday should be a holiday. I’m baking a cake. I encourage you to eat cake, as well, as you enjoy this week’s links:

Insainment uploads old horror mags, like this issue of World of Horror from 1972. You may need a free account. Issuu is cool.

Pushin’ Daisies Mortuary Novelty Shop. You can get a hearse stick pin, too.

Some very nice cinematic horror music from Christ Haigh

An “all things spooky” site that looks like a Web Wraith, but is actually current.

Short n Scary Stories

The folks from the movie Haunters find off-season spooky things for you to do.

Spooky Links, 475th Birthday of Mary, Queen of Scots

The weather here is cold and bright, and I have been spending most of my days outdoors. Why, you ask? Do you love the cold? Not so much, though it’s not a big deal. What l absolutely love, adore, am over-the-moon about, is the lack of mosquitoes. Every time I think about going outside in the summer, I have to consider how much I want to spray myself with horrible-smelling crap from head to toe. Because if I don’t, I attract every f*ing skeeter in three counties. So yes, the mosquitoes are dead, and I am celebrating by exploring parks and hunting Pokemon.

Enjoy the links. By the time you read this, I’ll be stealing someone’s gym.

Today’s links begin with a “how did I not know about this?” I adore the concept, and the archives have some wonderfully strange stuff.

Annual Halloween film festival beginning October 1

Remotely activate haunt scares, watch the results! I don’t know if this actually works yet, since no haunts are open.

Is this thing on? Good. May I have your attention, horrors and fiends. I have an exciting announcement to make.

Well, it’s exciting to me.

I have made a new thing: Web Wraiths. It celebrates the style of the horror web from the beginning to the early-mid 2000s. There are probably hundreds of link directories out there, with 98% dead links, and I am going through them, one by one, and digging up that which still lives. Some are shambling zombies, some are shimmering ghosts. I love the hell out of them, and I hope you enjoy them, too.

From Elven Path. Don’t you want to find stuff like this?

Spooky Links: Kickin’ it old skool

I have a serious weakness for web surfing; the old-fashioned kind, where you find a list of links, follow them to their link lists, etc. I especially love doing this on ancient sites with tacky gifs, garish backgrounds, and midi files. Sure, 90% of the links no longer exist, but sometimes you find the most delicious, creaky things.

Click on Free Games and play Ghostscape!

Meddybemps has a bunch of Halloween silliness.

I am so happy that this domain name is still occupied by a bunch of little prognosticators and games.

Remember those sites full of random, clickable gifs? Warning: you’ll have to highlight the text if you want to read it against those backgrounds.

Recipes, gifs, and a spooky “tour”–everything you could want! You will probably get midi download pops, because they no longer work inline. They are likely safe. Well, I’ve been enjoying them.

That’s enough for now, but trust me…I have more. So much more. I should start an Angelfire site.

Spooky Links, 452nd Anniversary of the Founding of St. Augustine

Happy Friday, my spooksters! St. Augustine is not only the first permanent European settlement in the US, it’s a cool, quirky place. We only had a few hours when we drove through on our way from Sarasota to Rockville, so of course the one place I chose to visit was the wax museum.

Just look at that handsome fella!

If you can visit, do! But I digress. The first link today I found not an hour ago in my Facebook feed. Enjoy, and have a spooky weekend!

Spooky Links, Pachelbel’s 364th Birthday

The story of Wanda, the tilting board starts off our spooky links this week. I’ve have long been fascinated with seances, and the paraphernalia used to “contact the spirits.” This is a great example.
