Dark Side of the Net's Newest Goth Links

DARK ART:

Wrong Side of the Art

I am thoroughly impressed by this extremely large archive of horror, sci-fi and B movie posters. I would have expected a site like this to be merely a poster shop with low-res images and lots of watermarks. Instead, it's an incredibly valuable archive with large scans of posters and movie art prints. There are posters from many countries here as well as the US.

You won't find posters from famous horror movies like "Lost Boys" here. Instead, you'll find much more interesting and obscure posters, such as "Lady Frankenstein," "The Curse of the Cat People," "The Ghost Breakers," and "Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter." I bet you'll spend a lot of time browsing here!

DARK BLOGS:

Skull-A-Day

I'm sure you've already seen Skull-A-Day. I am just so impressed with how Noah and his team manage to find something interesting in their niche topic to post almost every single day. That's dedication!

This blogger has two favorite things, skulls and bacon, and manages to find lots of quirky things to show her readers. Such as this very cool skull lip gloss set, which I hadn't noticed while browsing Fred Flare myself the other day.

DARK COMICS:

24 Hour Pouty People

An interesting comic that occasionally pokes gentle fun at goth, referencing Skinny Puppy, The Cure and other bands, as well as Philly scene insiders. By a member of ninetwelve.

DARK CRAFTS:

DARK MOVIES:

Beastly

Damnit, this movie will probably really suck. So why do I want to see it? Maybe I just have happy memories of watching Beauty and the Beast, The Series with my aunt.

DARK SHOPS AND PRODUCTS:

Black Chandelier

What a gorgeous store! Besides black chandeliers, they also sell black sconces. (Their Lamps section is a broken link, sadly). Check out their Twilight and True Blood-inspired chandeliers, too.

There's also a zombie blood energy drink coming out in August from a different company.

Cold Blooded

Laugh, I love companies with a sense of humor. These are fang-shaped ice cube trays. Great in pomegranate or cranberry juice!

Stubbs and Wootton's Devil Shoes

I love a shoe company that's not afraid to take risks! They also make cool pirate skull slippers, too.

Goths on Wife Swap

Recently, a family of goths in Indiana participated in "Wife Swap." (They own Bat's Meow, and here is the Bats Meow Facebook page). Their episode will air Friday night on ABC. It's being promoed as "Goths Vs. Jocks."
