Wild Gasmasks Egyptian cat maskFetish meets cyber for a rendezvous with pagan. The apocalyptic staple is turned in a more primal direction with the addition of animal faces, where breathing hoses are added to the stern black and gold visage of Anubis. Horses, donkeys, all kinds of painted cats, done full-face or completely covering the head. Custom welcome. Thanks, Sara!

Old Fashion Halloween vintage black cat artVintage and vintage-style goodies for those who prefer to celebrate Hallows’ Eve with a retro touch – or update year-round goth decor with spiderweb table runners. Tons and tons of party decorations, including some actual antiques, and pages for jack o’lanterns, Day of the Dead, and fortunetelling. The original art section includes Kerrykate dolls, Haunting Memories glass skull ornaments, handpainted dancing skeleton umbrellas, and Queen of Hearts sweetly morbid wedding plates, and the Cards section is a goldmine of old-world imagery chock full of black cats and flying witches. Absolutely loaded with great finds for the haunt-minded home.

Studio 3B bullethole bleeding candleThis custom candlemaking shop very much enjoys a sense of drama, pairing their wares up with tales of paranormal romance, mystery, suspense, and horror. They’re just the kind of mystical-looking dribbling things on fire you’d spy beside a well-worn grimoire, customizable by size and color, and scroll through the Mystery-Suspense page for the candles that bleed.

Tormented Artifacts

Tormented Artifacts leather Butoh maskAn imaginative little smorgasboard of wearables and curiosities fusing occult experimentation with steampunk exploration and just a touch of cyber. Leather masks dip into pagan and fantastical themes, getting absolutely insane in the gasmask section. Other accessories include tribal-futuristic bondagey gauntlets and eyepatches and elegant pendulum necklaces. And the art pieces are just fun: arcane boxes and books and scrolls and blades, an elixir case with a couple of “missing” potions, fossils and skulls from ancient monsters. Quite a bit of one-of-a-kind here, and custom is welcome.
