Once again we are pleased to direct your attention
to a few interesting sites with a
Halloween flavor. A couple hours'
surfing the darker currents of the web turned
up these odd little
destinations. Warning: have someone check on
you in an hour or so.
This list barely scratches the surface, but
there are plenty of enticements
along the way to lure you deeper and deeper
in ...
For the perfect newspaper to tear and restore in your next Halloween show, check the one Elvira is holding in The Night Gallery, a site scary enough to come with its own warning and a chicken exit. This site offers some of the most entertaining animations and gimmicks you will find on the web. Murder! Gore! Oozing guts! There are some very sick things on this one. A terrific Halloween shopping resource is the Nightmare Factory Gift and Novelty Shop, where you can procure a 16-foot tall Alien Queen statue for a low $21,000. Check out the Walking Illusions for novelty magic ideas. Den of the Dead offers more ghastly fun. Although some of the jumps were dead ends when we tried them, we enjoyed the intitial graphic, a sort of skeleton version of Lance's levitation. Have your fortune read by the Skulls of Fate in Dr. Fellowbug's Lab. |

The Afterlife of Bob, a
comic strip about a dead student, may amuse
you. So will its cousin strip, The Life of
Death.
To completely satiate your darker appetites, try the Dark Side of the Web, a directory service with over 350 spooky links last year that has jumped to over 2000 this year. Keep the light on! Ever wonder what happened to that favorite flavor of ice cream you can no longer find. It's here in Little Egypt Cemetery of course, but you can also look it up at Ben and Jerry's Flavor Graveyard. Check it out for the cool dancing skeletons. |

The living grand master of creepy art and stories is of course Edward Gorey. Visit his web site for articles and interviews, theater and animation, books and recordings, and merchandise offers. Those with a taste for more lurid comic artwork may prefer the Vampirella comic page. Lestat fans may enjoy a most thorough list of Anne Rice web sites, one of which is the Official Anne Rice Home Page. As a boy we cut our fake Dracula teeth on Famous Monsters of Filmland, the seminal fanzine launched by monster lover Forrest Ackerman. Check out his 300K-piece collection of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.
Californians may prefer the Anaheim version of Disney's Haunted Mansion. |
The Psycho House from Alfred Hitchcock's
movie? Nope -- it's
