Link Horde

Zombies are generally grotesque and ugly, but this animated video Zombigotchi! makes zombies seem adorable.

Sears has a way to make XXX-mas shopping more palatable - the Zombie gift guide. Unless you've been living in an abandoned mall, you've probably already seen this. Check out the videos for extra fun and a peek at my pal Jenny (outerwear).

Discovery Channel has a new show called Oddities. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but if all their customers are like this guy, I'm hooked. He's like real-life Dracula. Except not a vampire. Thanks to Merricat Blackwood for the tip.

Alone, in a darkened room...The Count.

Can you find all the monsters in this vintage Muppets illustration? Scooter and Janice need your help!

For those unable to let go of Halloween, there's an ongoing horror art exhibit Horrorwood at the WWA Gallery in Culver City. The show runs until December 4th.

This weekend in Santa Ana, the Bowers Museum is closing their Weird and Wonderful exhibit. The collection boasts shrunken heads, Egyptian Mummy masks, and the last of OC's Grizzly bear population.

Speaking of taxidermy, this Dr. Seuss taxidermy is just awesome.

The San Diego Museum of Man in Balboa Park has an exhibit called Strange Bones: Curiosities of the Human Skeleton. And as long as you're in the area, check out Ion Theater's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Both are small, a little creepy, and very good.

Finally, for a little dose of cute, check out Misery Bear in Dawn of the Ted.

Reverse Trick-or-Treat

Please enjoy this hilarious thing found via Reddit:




It's a comic drawn from an old Ask Metafilter comment, and it made me laugh so hard that I couldn't breathe.

Looking for more laughs?

-The Oatmeal explains how different age groups celebrate Halloween.

-Here's one of those infographics about Halloween from Halloween Express.

-The 25th anniversary of Back to the Future is bringing out all kinds of information about Eric Stoltz's involvement. Best Week Ever has a list of the other movies Stoltz got fired from.

-Guys, Woot wants to tell you what your Halloween costume says about you.

-The Snickers "lady" scares the bejeezus out of everyone. (I'm waiting for news of Jocelyn Wildenstein's lawsuit)

-My first guest post over at Spooky Little Girl's blog is about Fullerton theater The Maverick. I attended a performance of the musical Zombie Love. Check it out!

Link Dump - Christmas week

Hopefully your Christmas shopping is done, and you're looking forward to Santa's arrival. Here's a mish-mash of stuff to keep you entertained for several seconds:



Captain EO is returning to Disneyland in 2010 - rejoice! I can't wait to see Anjelica Houston, that bumbling Hooter, and pre-icky Michael Jackson again.

This nightmarish sand sculpture might keep you up at night. I have no info about it, but I can tell you that I now fear sand in new and non crotch-related ways.

Martha Stewart eats In-and-Out, just like all the other smart people you know.

The Evolution of the Hipster hits you where it hurts, you fauxhemian you.



This disturbing finger food will be a hit at your Christmas or New Year's party.

Pee-Wee's Christmas special is streaming online. If you're feeling nostalgic, and you're high, it's perfect for you, maaaan.

It's okay to laugh at this poor girl who cries after watching Return of the Jedi. "But...what about R22222? *sniff*"

Finally, get a whiff of these gingerbread zombie cookies inspired by Left 4 Dead 2, my current obsession.


I'm off to Vegas for a non-traditional Christmas [good food and the pinball hall of fame] - can't wait!
