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.
I saw this shirt and said “whaaaaaaaat?” but in a good way! President Obama‘s approval ratings may not be sky high right now, but he sure can kick some zombie butt, and we all want a POTUS who can lead the country through a zombie apocolypse! Chris Piers is responsible for this awesome Obama Versus Zombie illustration that you can find on tee shirts and more at Tinaseamonster‘s etsy store.
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.
Mad Dog Softie
Morus sewed this Mad Dog Softie from the book “Softies Only A Mother Could Love” and posted it on craftster. He’s not particularly geeky, but he’s freaking adorable in an “I’m gonna bite your face off” sort of way.
Let’s face it: Zombies are awesome. There isn’t any denying it, so it’s time to embrace it! LovieDovieAnn made this I Heart Zombies pillow for a friend, the perfect way to let the world know how you really feel about our undead friends. (via craftster).
And how can you ignore a Zombie Cupcake? Honestly, just say the words “Zombie Cupcake” and tell me it doesn’t bring a smile to your face, even better when you realize it isn’t a punk band, but an actual baked treat. Porcalina posted this yummy ode to Zombies to her Flickr stream.
Hey, zombie kids are still kids, right? Why should a little zombie girl miss out on Girl Scouts just because she’s undead and likes to eat brains? She shouldn’t! So take a look at these Zombie Girl Scout Merit Badges that Wheezyx posted on craftster.
And if your zombie kiddies are into the outdoors, you might want to keep them from this summer camp, where “zombie killing” class happens right after arts & crafts. This Zombie Summer Camp Shirt was made and posted on craftster by Ladypie, complete with a big bloody hand print on the back.
The I Heart Zombies T-Shirt that daymoth made for her step-son’s birthday with stencils and posted it on craftster.

When we decided to each pick our top three Halloween costumes from the last two months, I knew I had a tough job ahead of me. We found so much pure gold this year, and it was really hard to choose just three, but I did my best. So without further adieu, my top three:
The Yip Yips by Tracy Lawson, they are sparkly, cute, and nostalgic! What more could you want? And if you’re going to be an adult in a Sesame Street costume, please, please, do not dress up as Elmo!
Two: Baby Elvis Costume! Seriously, at what other time has a kid so small rocked so much (I’m excluding toddlers with mohawks for this one)? CuriousFae did an awesome job on this one! (via craftster).
And last but not least: THE GORE! Halloween is historically about death and ghosts, and GORE, why else did I rent three horror movies to watch tonight? The Dissection Costume wins on the gore factor! To make it even cooler, jessicution didn’t go to the Halloween super store to pick this number up, it is all made from scratch, even the fake blood! Totally awesome! (via craftster).
