Corpse Museums In Thailand
You've got to see this amazing site to believe it! Excellently gruesome images of Siamese Corpses preserved in living color. (Be sure to catch the "Crime", "Surgery" and the hard to spot "Miserable Affairs In Thailand" sections.) Now, why don't they have any museums like this where I live?

Corpse Of The Week
A very well-done site, which lives up to its name by featuring a newly submitted corpse photo every week. It also contains a gruesome archive and some ugly photos of a deceased Chris Farley. Recommended!

A wonderful site full of thought-provoking articles, tantalizing trivia, gore and more!

An excellent emergency medicine site which features a lovely photo gallery. Winces aplenty are to be had here!

Forensic Pathology
A collection of forensic pathology clinical photos - both gross and microscopic - with nice scientific explanations of the facts behind the carnage. Very interesting...

A website chockful of disturbing images under the categories "Baby" (yes, there are some doozy deformities!), "History" (WWII-era atrocities and the like), and "Others" (horrible mutilations, etc.) This one has some pics I've never seen before, which is hard to pull off!

A wonderful collection of photographs of the Museo de las Momias, various Mexican cemeteries, and the always-nifty Day Of The Dead celebrations. Gosh, it's enough to make me want to visit Mexico!

Morbid Visions has a nice collection of ghastly images - and an annoying adolescent attitude to go with it. I can do without the attitude, but the images are worth wincing over.

My Rattlesnake Bite
13-year-old Justin Schwartz was bitten in the left hand by a rattlesnake on July 21, 2002. Although he survived, the venom destroyed much of the tissue in his hand and resulted in a series of gruesome skin graft surgeries to save his hand. Photographs from his surgery are posted on this site - and they look PAINFUL!

What a perfectly horrible website, chock full of disturbing videos and images.. So, what are you waiting for?

Palermo Mummies
One of the sites that I most want to visit when I go to Europe (if that day ever comes around, that is) is the Capuchin's Catacombs of Palermo. Cynthia Karalla took an amazing series of photographs of the mummies and has posted them on her website - so you can see what the fuss is all about.

Aviation Videos
Ken sends a very interesting link to a site featuring videos of various plane crashes (some of them fatal) and near misses, which includes three different views of the 747's hitting the WTC towers on 9-11. I wasted about an hour here looking at the various videos. Hope you enjoy it too!

Another completely captivating plane crash archive. Exhaustive and entrancing!

Wrecked Exotics
A wonderful collection of bad car crash photos. Although not the most morbid site on the planet, everything does have that fine hint of death about it.

The Amityville Murders
When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was Jay Anson's "The Amityville Horror". Of course, having re-read it again recently, I now realize the book is utter nonsense, but I am still captivated by the REAL horror of the house - the murder of his family (two sisters, two brothers, and both of his parents) by Ronald "Butch" DeFeo on November 13, 1974. This is an incredible site which contains abundant information on the murders, including a full set of crime scene photographs. It's interesting to note that all of the family were killed in the same position - face down with a fatal gunshot wound to the back - as you can see by the pictures. Fascinating stuff, whether or not you believe in the ghost story!

The 1947 Project
"Los Angeles in 1947 was a social powderkeg. War-damaged returning soldiers were threatened by a new kind of independent female, who in turn found her freedoms disappearing as male workers returned to the factories. These conflicts worked themselves out in dark ways. The Black Dahlia is the most famous victim of 1947's sex wars, but hardly the only one. The 1947project seeks to document this pivotal year in L.A., through period reporting and visits to the scenes as they are today." BRAVO!!!

African-American Holocaust
An incredibly powerful and disturbing set of images conveying the horror racism. A must-see.

By The Neck Until Dead
"John Stark Bellamy II is a life-long Clevelander and enthusiast of its storied past. Since 1994 he has been publishing books and performing slideshows chronicling Cleveland crimes and disasters. Described by one reviewer as the 'Cleveland historian your mother warned you about,' he originally started writing about Forest City dismalia because he wanted to read about such melancholy matters and could find little available to such purpose." Sounds like my kind of a historian! Reap the benefits of his fascinating research here.

Capital Punishment U.K.
A comprehensive site that lists the victims of capital punishment in the U.K., broken down in many different categories. Well done!

Censored Pictures of The Great War
Ever notice how when you see photographs of World War I, you don't tend to see any corpse imagery like you do in photos from other wars? That's because most of the governments involved destroyed such images so to not let the people see the realities of war and possibly object. (Gee, somehow I think that practice is still going on today...) Anyway, here is a collection of French photographs that were not destroyed, so we can see the gory realities of war for ourselves. Great images too - especially the corpse in a tree and the corpse on the barbed wire.

A fascinating series of pictures illustrating the human toll of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unforgettable imagery.

A Social History Of Conjoined Twins
This sight is more odd and fascinating than dark or gruesome, but it is rather morbid to read about the deaths of conjoined twins. Imagine awakening in the middle of the night to find that your "other half" has died... and knowing that death will soon come to claim you too. Very interesting case studies of siamese twinhood.

The Tale Of The Sawney Beanes
The horrifying (and not necessarily true) tale of the cannibalistic, incestuous Scottish monsters - the Sawney Beane clan.  Gripping bedtime reading!

I personally think all sheriff/police departments out to have a site like this, don't you?

A page filled with death notices from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan circa 1887. I think by reading a few of them you can see why I have such incredible enthusiasm for 19th century newspapers!

AutopsyVideo.Com
The next time you're hankering for some graphic autopsy footage, why not check out the products at Autopsy Video.Com? "Bipolar Productions has been selling autopsy videos and dvds that we produced with the cooperation of the L.A. County Coroner's Office, among others. Our site is www.autopsyvideo.com and we've sold over 50,000 units since coming online in 2000."

Still, a perusal of the archive is definitely worth your time!

The t-shirts and posters are nearly as cool as the coffins and urns at this quality establishment!

Bluelips.Com
A casket paperweight and chocolate caskets are my personal favorites on this site, but you can also get the complete Faces Of Death video collection, some nice posters, embalming materials, and some interesting morbid books as well. Banned from Ebay - you know that's gotta be a good sign!

France Casting makes museum quality replicas of bones with various anomalies. Surely you have room on your coffee table for a fetal cranium, a healed, displaced fractured humerus, or parietal bones with tertiary syphilis? I know I do! (Unfortunately, they are a bit expensive, so they will have to wait...)

Fright Catalog
The Halloween props are absolutely amazing (if a bit out of my price range), but they have lots of wonderful cheaper trinkets as well. Huge and amazing.

Funeral Consumers Alliance Gift Shop
Yeah, I know, who'd think to look here? But this little shop has a couple of wonderful Edward Gorey mugs (The Gashlycrumb Tinies and The Osbick Bird), as well as a great "panhandling near-corpse" t-shirt. And some interesting books as well. Simply marvelous!

Beautiful morbid jewelry with Day of the Dead and Victorian Mourning themes.

Necromance
Curios galore at this L.A. store which specializes in animal specimens.

However, human skulls are available here as well, and lots of other fun things are found under "miscellaneous".

Pushin' Daisies
A "mortuary novelty shop" - and what a splendid one it is! Coffin shaped chocolates, mortuary videos, embalming equipment, hearse memorabilia, you name it. Putting the "fun" back in "funeral".

Françoise Duvivier is an absolutely amazing morbid artists who creates mesmerizingly disturbing collages, masks, and dolls. Creepy doesn't begin to describe some of this stuff!

The online version of a wonderful exhibit by the amazing photographer whose work is best described as "bizarre yet beautiful".

Joseph Seigenthaler
Joseph Seigenthaler's artwork is the perfect antidote to those who believe that the human body is beautiful. Blech!!!!!

One of my all-time favorite artists, Mark Ryden paints beautiful miniatures that juxtapose innocence with morbidity. Truly an artist for the ages.

Masks By Nina Barlow
These masks are amazing. I wish I had a few of them hanging around The Castle DeSpair!

Very strange but eerily beautiful organic artwork. (aka dead things)

If portraits of serial killers is your bag, then this is your man! And the prices are reasonable too...

A wonderfully freaky website for Elizabeth J. Anderson, an artist who makes wonderful replicas of freak show canvases. The website also includes an abundance of excellent information of freak show stars from the past. Highly recommended!

Here's the website of an artist who obviously has a great appreciation for the finer things in life. Like freaks!

Among the greatest dolls ever created. Honest.

Enjoy the sick, sick, sick world of R.S. Connett - Morbid Painter Extraordinaire!

Warren Criswell
Website of one of my favorite artists. This guy's paintings truly have that genuine "serial killer" kind of vibe to them - and I for one cannot resist them - especially the paintings of dark roads at night. Creepy Cool!
