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.
There isn’t much in the shop, but what is in Little Soaps of Horrors is delightful. How can you resist a baby goblin? Maybe if you only have budget for a baby Cthulhu!
P.S. – Cathy Wilkins is also an artist.
Baby Goblin Soap Set, $7.99
Baby Cthulhu Wakame Soap, $7.99
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.
