Twisted Tuesdays: Disney is fucking evil!
by Tracy Vanity
I have a total love/hate relationship with Disney. Like everyone, I grew up watching Disney movies and shows and have been to Disneyland hundreds of times so there is that nostalgic connection. As I got older though, much like with everything in my life, I poked around for the “dark” side and found some interesting twisted things about the Disney company as well as many fucked up fan art devoted to The Mouse.
As much as I find Disney to be this villainous, corporate empire, I still love twisted Disney shit.
Today’s Twisted Tuesday is dedicated to the dark side of Disney, both real and “imagineered.”
My favorite bit of weird Disney history is this vintage Mickey Mouse mini-comic called “Mickey and the Medicine Man” where Mickey and Goofy discover a liquid form of speed called “peppo” and become speed dealers!
You can read the whole comic at Erowid. It’s very entertaining.
Here is an episode of a Minnie Mouse cartoon that was banned in the U.S. for being too disturbing for kids. In this episode, Mickey asks Minnie to take care of Pluto. Throughout the episode, Pluto thinks Minnie is trying to kill him. Only the Polish version is available but it’s subtitled in English.
Minnie can be quite an evil bitch.
While we’re on the subject of Disney death, here is a list of some deaths at Disneyland Parks care of Disney Wiki:
-On October 6, 2010, a 53-year-old cleaner, subcontracted to Disney, became trapped underneath a boat on It’s a Small World when the ride was inadvertently switched on while it was being cleaned. The man was taken to a hospital where he later died.
-On June 26, 2007, an unnamed 14-year-old girl lost consciousness on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Paramedics attempted to revive her, but she died before the ambulance arrived. A ride inspection showed no mechanical problems.
-On May 2, 2008, a businessman leapt to his death from his 14th floor balcony at Disneyland Hotel. He was later identified as John Newman, Jr., a dentist from Santa Cruz, California. The hotel has been host to at least two other suicides. In 1994, a 75-year-old man jumped from the ninth floor and was declared dead at the scene. In 1996, a 23-year-old man committed suicide by jumping from the 14th floor. In 1998, a 23 year-old Walt Disney Co. employee jumped from the 14th floor and survived the fall.
-In April 2003, a 36-year old stage technician fell 60 feet from a catwalk in the Hyperion Theater, prompting an investigation by the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA). The victim did not regain consciousness following the incident and died on May 18, 2003. In October 2003, Cal/OSHA fined the Disneyland Resort $18,350 for safety violations related to the crew member’s death.
-On July 8, 1974, cast member Deborah Gail Stone, 18, of Santa Ana, California was crushed to death between a revolving wall and a stationary platform inside the America Sings attraction. She was in the wrong place during a ride intermission; it was unclear whether this was due to inadequate training or a misstep. The attraction was subsequently refitted with breakaway walls.
-On January 3, 1984, 48-year-old Dolly Regina Young of Fremont, California was thrown from a Matterhorn Bobsleds car and struck by the next oncoming bobsled. An investigation showed that her seatbelt was found unbuckled after the accident. It is unclear whether Young delibrately unfastened her belt or if the seatbelt malfunctioned.
-In August 1967, 17-year-old Ricky Lee Yama of Hawthorne, California was killed while jumping between two moving PeopleMover cars as the ride was passing through a tunnel. Yama stumbled and fell onto the track, where an oncoming train of cars crushed him beneath its wheels and dragged his body a few hundred feet before it was stopped by a ride operator. The attraction had only been open for one month at the time.
Those are just a few of the many deaths at Disneyland, there have also been various severe injuries and altercations with “cast members,” my favorite being a recent incident where the White Rabbit pushed & cussed out some annoying teenagers who were messing with his tail.
He should have bitchslapped her. Don’t fuck with Wonderland!
Of course there are loads of reports of weird, paranormal things happening in the Magic Kingdom. My favorite is this creepypasta about some scary shit that went down on the Small World ride:
In 1999, my family visited Disneyland. We happily rode the Small World ride. I was 12 at the time and my sister was 6. We loved every moment and our parents smiled with nostalgia. At one time near the end, some lights suddenly shut off and rear lights illuminated the ceiling. The moving display parts shut off and crew members wearing red overalls walked along them to help passengers in the boats onto the stages to direct them out of the building via emergency exits. A voice came over the loudspeakers. “Disneyland thanks you for your visit. Please evacuate the attraction in an orderly fashion. Keep looking foward and follow the directions of staff. Thank you.”
The staff wouldn’t tell us much as they quickly ushered us out of the building. Ambulances were outside and a police car was parked in the main walkway. At the time, my mother still had her camera out and snapped a few photos of the crewmen and close-ups of the mechanical children. She snapped a few last-minute photos of whatever to use up the last of the roll of film on the camera, since we were going to develop them later that afternoon, anyway. This was the last photo on the reel, aimed at the ceiling at the attraction.
The popularity of dark Disney imagery, creepypastas, and weird Disney facts on the internet has to do with the wholesome image Disney prides itself in trying to achieve/kill people for when everyone knows they are really this evil empire who have taken over the world.
What kind of twisted Disney post would this be if I didn’t mention the Disney/Illuminati connection?
Did you know Disney has this entire creepy, Stepford Wife town in Florida called Celebration where people have been murdered? The dads in Celebration also swap robot wives to relieve boredom.
I will leave you with this fun link to a Disney shoot-em-up game called Los Disneys. The premise is pretty amazing:
The year is 2015. Steeped in national debt, the United States reluctantly allows the Walt Disney Company to purchase the entire peninsula of Florida in the largest geographic acquisition since the Louisiana Purchase. Under its new president, formerly-ousted CEO Michael Eisner, the newly-sovereign state is renamed Los Disneys. Your job is to infiltrate the Magic Kingdom, blasting your way through animatronic pirates, holographic ghosts, tourists, security guards and even Mickey himself in an attempt to seek and destroy the frozen head of Walt Disney. However, doing so inadvertently triggers Eisner’s doomsday device… unless you can stop it…
Twisted Tuesdays: Candle Cove
by Tracy Vanity
A classic creepypasta you might have heard already but worth posting in case you haven’t. It’s a personal favorite of mine. I love a good ole’ internet urban legend!
Back in the early 70′s there was a children’s TV show called “Candle Cove.” It aired on a local station in a small town in the U.S. The show was random with spooky, scary skeletons and dolls and a very creepy pirate as the host. The show scared every child who watched it. Some people still have nightmares about it to this day. Especially one episode in particular which ended with all the characters screaming.
Fast-forward to 2009 to an internet forum about local television nostalgia. Someone posts about their memories of “Candle Cove” and how weird it was. Other members chime in and say they remember it too and that it freaked them out as kids. One member describes a particularly disturbing episode. Here is the full thread courtesy of www.ichorfalls.com:

Subject: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Does anyone remember this kid’s show? It was called Candle Cove and I must have been 6 or 7. I never found reference to it anywhere so I think it was on a local station around 1971 or 1972. I lived in Ironton at the time. I don’t remember which station, but I do remember it was on at a weird time, like 4:00 PM.mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
it seems really familiar to me…..i grew up outside of ashland and was 9 yrs old in 72. candle cove…was it about pirates? i remember a pirate marionete at the mouth of a cave talking to a little girlSkyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
YES! Okay I’m not crazy! I remember Pirate Percy. I was always kind of scared of him. He looked like he was built from parts of other dolls, real low-budget. His head was an old porcelain baby doll, looked like an antique that didn’t belong on the body. I don’t remember what station this was! I don’t think it was WTSF though.Jaren_2005
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Sorry to ressurect this old thread but I know exactly what show you mean, Skyshale. I think Candle Cove ran for only a couple months in ’71, not ’72. I was 12 and I watched it a few times with my brother. It was channel 58, whatever station that was. My mom would let me switch to it after the news. Let me see what I remember.It took place in Candle cove, and it was about a little girl who imagined herself to be friends with pirates. The pirate ship was called the Laughingstock, and Pirate Percy wasn’t a very good pirate because he got scared too easily. And there was calliope music constantly playing. Don’t remember the girl’s name. Janice or Jade or something. Think it was Janice.
Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Thank you Jaren!!! Memories flooded back when you mentioned the Laughingstock and channel 58. I remember the bow of the ship was a wooden smiling face, with the lower jaw submerged. It looked like it was swallowing the sea and it had that awful Ed Wynn voice and laugh. I especially remember how jarring it was when they switched from the wooden/plastic model, to the foam puppet version of the head that talked.mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
ha ha i remember now too. ;) do you remember this part skyshale: “you have…to go…INSIDE.”Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Ugh mike, I got a chill reading that. Yes I remember. That’s what the ship always told Percy when there was a spooky place he had to go in, like a cave or a dark room where the treasure was. And the camera would push in on Laughingstock’s face with each pause. YOU HAVE… TO GO… INSIDE. With his two eyes askew and that flopping foam jaw and the fishing line that opened and closed it. Ugh. It just looked so cheap and awful.You guys remember the villain? He had a face that was just a handlebar mustache above really tall, narrow teeth.
kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
i honestly, honestly thought the villain was pirate percy. i was about 5 when this show was on. nightmare fuel.Jaren_2005
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
That wasn’t the villain, the puppet with the mustache. That was the villain’s sidekick, Horace Horrible. He had a monocle too, but it was on top of the mustache. I used to think that meant he had only one eye.But yeah, the villain was another marionette. The Skin-Taker. I can’t believe what they let us watch back then.
kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
jesus h. christ, the skin taker. what kind of a kids show were we watching? i seriously could not look at the screen when the skin taker showed up. he just descended out of nowhere on his strings, just a dirty skeleton wearing that brown top hat and cape. and his glass eyes that were too big for his skull. christ almighty.Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Wasn’t his top hat and cloak all sewn up crazily? Was that supposed to be children’s skin??mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
yeah i think so. rememer his mouth didn’t open and close, his jaw just slid back and foth. i remember the little girl said “why does your mouth move like that” and the skin-taker didn’t look at the girl but at the camera and said “TO GRIND YOUR SKIN”Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
I’m so relieved that other people remember this terrible show!I used to have this awful memory, a bad dream I had where the opening jingle ended, the show faded in from black, and all the characters were there, but the camera was just cutting to each of their faces, and they were just screaming, and the puppets and marionettes were flailing spastically, and just all screaming, screaming. The girl was just moaning and crying like she had been through hours of this. I woke up many times from that nightmare. I used to wet the bed when I had it.
kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
i don’t think that was a dream. i remember that. i remember that was an episode.Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
No no no, not possible. There was no plot or anything, I mean literally just standing in place crying and screaming for the whole show.kevin_hart
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
maybe i’m manufacturing the memory because you said that, but i swear to god i remember seeing what you described. they just screamed.Jaren_2005
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Oh God. Yes. The little girl, Janice, I remember seeing her shake. And the Skin-Taker screaming through his gnashing teeth, his jaw careening so wildly I thought it would come off its wire hinges. I turned it off and it was the last time I watched. I ran to tell my brother and we didn’t have the courage to turn it back on.mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
i visited my mom today at the nursing home. i asked her about when i was littel in the early 70s, when i was 8 or 9 and if she remebered a kid’s show, candle cove. she said she was suprised i could remember that and i asked why, and she said “because i used to think it was so strange that you said ‘i’m gona go watch candle cove now mom’ and then you would tune the tv to static and juts watch dead air for 30 minutes. you had a big imagination with your little pirate show.”
I have located that episode of “Candle Cove.” I do not take any responsibility for what watching this video will do to your psyche…
Happy Twisted Tuesday Bizarros!

This post is Satanic Patrick Bateman approved.
Halloween is tomorrow!!!! Have fun little devils!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #29: Witches and Other Supernatural Shit
by Tracy Vanity
I really need to rewatch that movie. I forgot how awesome it is! Angelica Houston is fierce.
As Halloween approaches the Halloween buzzzzzz becomes more and more intense.
It’s that metaphysical energy coursing through the air, something otherworldly is leaking out from The Beyond, ready to makes itself known.
Be it magick, witches, ghosts, goblins, monsters, or anything not of this conscious, mortal world, those who are sensitive to the energy can feel the paranormal rush that comes around this time of year.
I’ve been encountering a lot of witches lately and have been feeling pretty witchy myself even though I never used to believe in such things.
But if you have read or written enough Bizarro, you know that anything and everything is possible.
Speaking of Bizarro, this shit fits right in:
That’s not even the creepypasta video for the day, this one is:
I found that video rather calming. I think it was because of the fire. I feel the same about the sea.
So what’s the Bizarro Posse going to dress up as or what did you dress up as if you partied this past weekend? I’m going to be a dead, slutty Hunter S. Thompson since I’m going to a dead celebrity Halloween party. If you’re still unsure of what to be, here are some costume ideas:
I hope that helps.
2 Days until Halloween, oh shit!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #28: Spooky Scary Skeletons
by Tracy Vanity
Fuck zombies, skeletons are fucking awesome. Did you know there’s a skeleton inside you right now?
Spooky shit.
That’s a lot of bones. Here’s more!
What can I say? I just have a soft spot for skeletons.
Ok, that’s more corpsey but you can start to see the skeleton. It’s the thought that counts.
Here are 6 cool skeleton facts:
1. A new-born baby has over 300 bones, over time some of these will fuse together. There are 206 bones in the average adult skeleton.
2. An adult skeleton accounts for around 14% of the body’s total weight. Experiments have shown that prolonged periods in weightless space will cause bones to lose weight and thickness.
3. Giraffes have seven neck bones, exactly the same number as humans.
4. Ounce for ounce, bone is stronger than steel and reinforced concrete. However doctors throughout the world treat tens of million of fractures a year.
5. One out of 20 people have an extra rib.
6. The hip bone or pelvis is six bones joined together. It is shaped like a bowl.
So as I was looking for creepy skeleton-related videos to post, I found this video of a guy putting a skeleton in a blender. Looks like a good Bizarro cooking course.
I know I’ve posted this song before but it’s so incredible that it had to be posted again and this is a Horrormas-sounding remix:
3 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #27: Evil Kids
by Tracy Vanity
This speaks for itself…
Children can do some fucked up shit. Better be wary around them kids!
This is a great doc on one of my favorite child killers, Mary Bell, who strangled two boys to death when she was 10 and 11-years old.
Monte Cazazza even made a catchy song about her.
And here I thought little girls were made of sugar and spice…
4 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day # 26: Cats
by Tracy Vanity
So continuing with the animal theme…although cats aren’t creepy, some people think they are because they’re pretty intense animals (certainly supernatural). The Egyptians worshiped them as gods and for centuries felines have been seen as harbingers of good luck, misfortune, or death. Anyone who lives with cats can tell you those fuckers are trippy animals. I have two of them. One of them, Varla, used to tie sailor quality knots with her kitty string and my hairband when I first adopted her.
She pulled the hairband from my dresser and tied those knots all by herself and I woke up and found it and she added more knots and then stopped after a few weeks. I shit you not. That is 100% her doing. I can’t even make knots like that! I have no idea wtf that was about.
Cats can do some weird, paranormal shit and this cat video is rather…unsettling…
6 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day # 25: Down the Rabbit Hole
by Tracy Vanity
As I delve deeper and deeper into The Land of Creepypasta I keep coming across pictures of rabbits. Why rabbits of all things? How could something so cute, fluffy, and harmless be creepy?
Yet time and time again I’d come across these pictures. It was as if Creepypastaland was trying to tell me something…but what?
Was there some Alice in Wonderland/Bizarro connection? Is the rabbit meant lead you somewhere? As I fall further down, I believe the answer is “yes.”
I mean…I do have an obsession with Lewis Carroll and the Alice books to the point where I have the first stanza of the Jabberwocky poem tattooed backwards on my forearm…and I do have the first pressing of Through the Looking Glass from 1871 as well as a huge collection of books, toys, and random shit related to Wonderland….not to mention I know both books by heart and read passages from them at least once a month like the Bible….doesn’t everyone?
But it couldn’t just be me. The creepy rabbit keeps popping up and has replaced the horse head mask as the new creepy animal trend.
That horse head fad is now passé as fuck. Even the pig is old hat. It’s all about the rabbit!
Even David Lynch jumped on the creepy bunny train when he made that unsettling bunny sitcom in Inland Empire.
Damn, just the rabbit scenes are 42 minutes long!
Still not convinced yet? Then maybe theses lagomorphic mindfuck videos from the talented Florian-Ayala Fauna will help you take the final leap:
“It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down the rabbit-hole–and yet–and yet–…”
6 days until Halloween! Ready or not!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day # 24: Storytelling
by Tracy Vanity
So the original meaning of “creepypasta” is a creepy story on the internet, told either through email (remember those annoying chain mail emails back in the late 90′s?) or any type of social networking/website. These stories can be about anything: from paranormal phenomena to mysterious deaths….as long as it’s a creepy story you read on the web, it’s a creepypasta.
Think Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark for the internet age.
Fuck, those drawings are awesome!
So creepypasta can be a couple silly sentences long or an entire outdated website full of links and pictures of a very long and detailed creepy story. (Holy time warp Batman, when’s the last time you’ve seen an Angelfire site?) You can even write a creepypasta of your own!
With people’s short ass-attentions spans, the more recent creepypasta have come in the form of pictures or videos. Here is a video of “The scariest picture on the internet.” It promises to haunt your psyche forever and bring bad luck to whoever sees it.
Meh…I’ve seen scarier. And if you’re been following my Creepypasta Halloween Countdown then so have you!
“The Grifter” is a well-known creepypasta and a personal favorite, 2nd to Slenderman of course!
The story of The Grifter is very similar to Ringu, except using the internet instead of a VHS tape. It’s supposed to be the most disturbing video on the internet and if you watch it, it will fuck you up forever and you could possibly even die. The actual footage varies depending on who is telling the story and posting the link but being as I am deep in the bowels of the Land of the Creepypasta, I have found the actual Grifter video.
Be careful, you’ve been warned. I am not responsible for your fate if you choose to click “play.”
Not spooky enough? Wait until you see what I have in store for you for Halloween!
So here is a little creepypasta of my own:
The Phone Call
I was a latchkey kid. I’ve been taking care of myself since I was about 6. Both of my parents worked full-time and I preferred staying home by myself than having my crazy Mormon aunt in charge of me.
So I was about 7, just chilling alone at home for the summer, watching TV…most likely watching Darkwing Duck or Tailspin and eating Kid Cuisine when I get a phone call…
“Hello?” I expected it to be my mom or dad but all I hear is this man laughing on the phone.
“You have the wrong number” I tell him and hang up.
Phone rings again. Again I say “Hello” and the man laughs again and says “I know where you are.”
I tell him to fuck off and hang up. Phone rings again… “That’s not nice Tracy. I’m coming over.”
I have no idea who the fuck this guy is or how he knows my name…I’ve never heard that voice in my life but even decades later I know exactly what that voice sounds like and I still have a vivid mental picture of what I imagine him to look like.
He tries calling again a couple times but I don’t pick up. When the phone finally stops ringing I frantically dial my dad’s work number. Someone I assume is his co-worker answers and I ask for my dad by name, “José.”
“This is José.” It’s that fucking man again! How the fuck did he end up on the other end of the phone? And he laughs again as I slam the phone down.
I finally get a hold of my actual dad and he rushes to the apartment and searches around the building and doesn’t see anyone. The man never calls back again.
I told this story to my ex-husband and he said something similar happened to him as a kid. A man he didn’t know kept calling and scaring the shit out of him while he was home alone. Has this ever happened to you? Could it be the same guy that got off to calling latchkey kids in Los Angeles and creeping them the fuck out in the 90′s?
That’s a big reason why “The Babysitter” story from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark scared the shit out of me, that shit actually happened to me! Ever since then, I’ve hated the sound of my phone ringing.
Please share some of your own creepy stories!
7 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #23: Reality Cree-Py
by Tracy Vanity
The following three short video clips are real (or are they?) footage of creepy shit. This first video is an audio recording from the “Original Night Stalker” of California. To give you some background on him:
The Original Night Stalker is the moniker for an unidentified serial killer and rapist who murdered at least ten people in Southern California from 1979 through 1986 and sexually assaulted at least fifty women in Northern California from June 1976 to July 1979.
However, the connection to the Northern California assaults was not made until 2001, until which time the perpetrator was dubbed as The East Area Rapist.
The Original Night Stalker/The East Area Rapist may be considered one of the worst and most prolific “unapprehended” serial offenders in history. So far in the investigation, every named or investigated suspect has been cleared through DNA, alibi or other investigative means and methods.
With over 32 million views, you might have seen this one already but it’s still a classic. It’s an audio of the real exorcism of Anneliese Michel who was thought to have been possessed by at least 6 different demons. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is based on her story.
The pics of her looking all young, happy, and healthy while she begins to deteriorate into a living corpse, as the audio of her exorcism is playing, are effective to say the least.
So some teenagers in Argentina were just sitting around chilling and shootin’ the shit when along comes a motherfuckin’ gnome!
Full story here.
That video actually made me lol, especially after reading the top youtube comment:
what a bunch of pussies lol there’s what three of them and they scream like a bunch of bitches at the sight of a really cool gnome like creature, they should have charged and bagged that motherfucker and he would have lead scientists to the secret underground gnome kingdom in the hollow earth where he would have introduced us to the gnome civilization with its many technological marvels like flying saucers and crystal based data storage and mithril coated artillery shells…..pussies -waste0fspais
Well said, waste0fspais. Well said.
Bonus: Here’s a fun montage of creepy creatures caught on camera….
Be sure to be extra wary while venturing out into those spooky woods or streets alone, and be sure to have a camera handy! You never know what you might capture…
8 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #22: Animated Hell
by Tracy Vanity
I love stop-motion animation, especially since most of it tends to be creepy and dark.
This is a really good short about a claymation guy…that happens to look a lot like John Lennon…who is trapped in an ambient noise hell with stuff like spooky nuns, witchy sex, and this cool, creepy pointy-nosed guy without a face who melts into his twin. Yes, it’s pretty trippy. I love the soundtrack and the artwork is incredible. A very creepy-beautiful, surreal art film.
Please share your favorite stop-motion films, clips or shorts if you have any!
BTW all the pics in this post are from Jan Švankmajer films.
9 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #21: Monsters
by Tracy Vanity
You never know what could be lurking in the dark….
You know, I actually find creepy shit comforting.
What does that say about me?
I have no idea what the fuck that thing in that pic is…it’s kind of cute.
10 days until Halloween!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #20: WTF
by Tracy Vanity
Ok, no more going easy on you. If my creepypasta posts from now on don’t creep you the fuck out, I’m doing something wrong!
The title of this rockin’ music video from glorious and mentally well-adjusted Russia, translates to:
“Ensemble of Christ the Savior and CHEESE MOTHER EARTH Our icons rip”
….if that helps you at all
Sleep tight.
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #19: Chaos
by Tracy Vanity
This video reminds me of tripping on DXM or mushrooms. The mind can be a very fucked up place…
Also this video proves once again the awesomeness that is ferrofluid!
Here’s how to make your own ferrofluid. It’s really quite easy and the perfect Bizarro science project..
Now you can make your own futuristic mind-fuck art!
I love science!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #18: Food
by Tracy Vanity
Another great short by the Daywalt Fear Factory. I thought I’d go easy on you today and give you something that is more cute than creepy. I love that this well-made horror short takes place on Halloween. I want a cookie companion!
Since we’re on the subject of food, I might as well post some literal creepy pasta:
Sorry, I know I promised to go easy on you but I had to post that. Spooky! :P
BTW what’s your favorite spooky Halloween recipe? I’m all about (vegan) hotdog mummies! This Shining inspired bento box is pretty fucking awesome too.

Definitely sit in the dark alone for this one:
We’re at the halfway mark now kids, 15 days until Halloween and I still have loads of creepy shit to post!
Vanity’s Creepypasta Halloween Countdown Day #15: Keeping it Necro
by Tracy Vanity
True story of a man who loved a woman so much he keeps her corpse, has sex with her, and tries to bring her back to life even though she’s been dead for two years! The story becomes more bizarre than that…
This reminds me of one of my favorite films. The following clip is actually one of the most epic film scenes in the history of cinema. I was blown away and rather turned on when I first saw this. If you haven’t watched Nekromantik 1 & 2 yet, you must!
Nekromantik 1 is about a necrophiliac couple who fuck and woo corpses that the male protagonist, Rob Schmadtke, acquires from his job at Joe’s Cleaning Agency, which is a company that removes dead bodies. When Rob gets fired from his dream job and his girlfriend Monica leaves him for a corpse, he does this to himself at the end:
Necromantik 2 opens with the same scene and then Monica digs Rob up and falls in love with him. So necromantic!
I recommend any film by Jörg Buttgereit. He makes some beautifully fucked up shit!
I also recommend this great interview with a female necrophiliac which answers all your burning questions about necrophilia like “how?” Originally published in Apocalypse Culture.
For the record, if any necros want my body when I’m dead, have at it! Just please be sure I get a Tibetan Sky Burial after you’re done.

Something of a hybrid between Jean Cocteau and Jan Svankmajer in its gothic expressionism and artful grotesquerie crossed with the metric precision of Kurt Kren’s more clinical materialaktion films that experiment with the plasticity of surfaces (most notably, in the deformed figures that recall the disfiguration and self-mutilation of Kren’s short film, 10/65: Selbstverstümmelung), Bokanowski’s earliest film, La Femme qui se poudre (The Woman Who Powders Herself) is, as the title implies, an evocation of concealment and unmasking, where the mundane act of a Victorian-era woman’s ritualistic application of cosmetic powder seemingly opens the window – or perhaps, Pandora’s Box – into underlying human anxieties of physical beauty, youth, desirability, and objectification. Reflecting the superficiality of societal notions of beauty through the alienness of landscape and the ephemeral riddle of true identity through epic, soul-searching journeys and faceless phantoms that emerge from thin air before vanishing from view, the terrifying images break apart and eventually disintegrate into irresolvable fragments of haunted memory within the course of the increasingly abstract film, as the waking dream descends ever further into the realm of nightmare and the deepest recesses of the subconscious, unraveling the veil of human vanity to reveal amorphous shadows cast by empty souls.
I love the surrealism of this video and the subject matter definitely hits close to home. I get more of a Begotten/Un Chien Andalou vibe than Švankmajer. What do you think?

Today’s creepypasta video is from the insanely talented M dot Strange, creator of one of my favorite movies,We Are the Strange, which you really need to watch is you haven’t already.
This is definitely a video you want to watch alone in the dark with all the lights out. Enjoy!

Damn that pic even freaks me out!
The following two-part animated short is dark, beautiful, and of course, creepy. It reminds me of Jan Švankmajer, whose work I adore. I love puppets and stop motion animation!
★ BTW Happy spooky birthday to Madeleine Swann, our top Bizarro Central Halloween countdown commenter! ★
