Atrociousness for sale! The current selections aren’t the best, but it’s worth keeping an eye on…

I’d never want it since it has leather upholstery, but some of you might find it interesting, if a bit on the expensive side.

September is here which means our greatest holiday is just around the corner! Which reminds me: String Dolls are awesome Halloween decorations. (I have a devil that hangs in my living room year round, actually.) Thanks to NYC Rocker for reminding me how splendid they are!

I expect he will stab me to death tonight, which isn’t a bad way to go, all things considered…

Although I don’t have an electric chair (I wish), I do have another little trinket on my bookshelf that I thought I’d share. Isn’t it lovely?  (The head is Christopher Walken as the Headless Horsemen from Sleepy Hollow.)

And at Christmas Time I bring out the head of a Wise Man that I found broken off in a store. Kinda looks a bit like Bin Laden, doesn’t it? How appropriate…

Dr. Morose and Miss Macabre are splendid artists and archivists of ghastly things. Their website is well worth a gander, as is their Etsy shop. Dark original paintings, obituary shadow boxes, poison bottles, macabre dolls, etc. – it’s a morbid trinket haven!
