I love the shading on Craftster user stitchFight’s cross-stitched brains. She very bravely used DMC light effects floss which is not at all easy to stitch with.

Who’s everyone’s favorite Lovecraftian horror? Cthulu of course! Keep warm in this polar fleece Cthulu Scarf made by Rosaleendhu on etsy. What can I say? I am sucker for anything that makes big, evil villains look sort of cute.

Nothing is more comforting than a Leather Face night light, take it from me! This awesome Texas Chainsaw Massacre Light Box is handcrafted in poplar by Dave at MorbidDecor’s etsy shop. I just love this thing! But then again, I have a thing for the “villians”, I wake up every morning to a Dalek alarm clock, so why wouldn’t I want a light up of Leather Face staring at me when I get up to pee at night?

So now that you’ve stuffed your face, it’s time to empty your wallet! Or, if you’re looking to save some cash, it’s time to get crafting! In honor of Black Friday (the shopaholic’s national holiday and every retail worker’s worst nightmare) here are some Black Crafts (note: not Dark Arts, that’s a differnent blog all together).

Chain Chomp Hat

The Knitting Ninja posted this Chain Chomp Hat on her blog. Chomps may not be the most commonly knitted Mario Bros villian, but they are the ones that look the coolest when they appear to be eating your head.
