DARK MOVIE TRAILERS: The Road
This is not a goth movie, and this is not a horror movie. I mention it because I read the book a couple weeks ago (in preparation for getting my Viggo on) and sobbed for fifteen minutes after finishing it. For two or three days after reading it, I was depressed and kept thinking back to what I'd read. (Beautifully written, by the way).
The movie was somewhat less difficult, as my mind had made worse visuals than were depicted on screen. A four-hanky film for me, and one hanky for my male companion. Afterwards, our theater full of people left somberly, more silent than I've ever seen a group of strangers leave a theater, most of them not even flipping on their cell phones immediately as usual.
If your idea of holiday fun is going to see something grim, depressing, visually striking, and emotionally moving, then by all means go see The Road.

NEW LINKS TO DARK ART:
Madeline Moon - This is a user-self-submitted link by the artist. She draws dark fairies and dark fantasy art.
Want to see some really weird stuff? Check out the art gallery of David Simkin. Surreal, strange and definitely intriguing.
Also check out Ravenkult, a horror art site which actually scared me so badly I gasped and my cousin came running into my bedroom to see if I was ok! (It was Voodoo Teddy that startled me).
NEW LINKS TO DARK SHOPS:
Fine Chainmail Jewelry has some interesting pieces that I thought some of you might like looking at. They sell several styles of necklaces and bracelets (scroll down and use the Previous and Next navigation buttons to see more designs).
