New Goth Links for January 3, 2011

DARK GAMES:

Gretel and Hansel

This is just a cool little diverting Shockwave game. Hansel & Gretel is one of my favorite fairytales, so I enjoyed playing with this for a little while (until I got stumped and gave up!)

DARK EVENTS:

Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire

I would so go to this event if I lived on the East coast! It sounds fabulously fun. This year's theme is "Fairy Tales Gone Awry." It takes place the weekend of February 18-20 in Somerset, New Jersey.

DARK MOVIES: SHORT FILMS

The Captured Bird

"The Captured Bird is a short film written and directed by Jovanka Vuckovic. It is inspired in part by a childhood nightmare, by the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, the fables of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen as well as the paranormal phenomenon known as The Shadow People." It's being screened at several film fests this year. Check out the beautiful concept art for this six minute film. I can't seem to find a brief trailer for the film though, and I'd like to.

DARK MOVIES:

Phantasm Archives

A fan blog for the "Phantasm" films. Not updated often, but it's a good way for casual fans of the film to keep up with new developments. The Facebook community is also a good resource.

DARK PAGES IN OTHER LANGUAGES:

Gauewthickueu

A Polish goth's blog. Like me, you probably can't read much here, but you'll probably enjoy the pictures and Youtube video links they share.

GOTH AND HORROR BLOGS:

Creepy Kitch

A blog run by two girls who describe themselves as "We're creepy and we're kitchy, mischievous and bitchy." They worship Vincent Price (as we all should), write about cool old horror movies, and share their creepy finds.

Hexotica

A blog on dark glamour, goth fashion, burlesque, travel and more interesting topics.

ShellHawk's Nest

Mistress Mayhem's blog on Halloween, home haunting and Hauntcast.

This is CorpGoth

You probably remember Trystan from alt.gothic.fashion and the much loved Gothic Martha Stewart pages. "This is CorpGoth" is her newest blog, where she features her fabulous clothing she wears to work. She also shares some of her recent shopping trips, and musings on fashion. If you enjoy fashion, you'll definitely want to check in here often.

HORROR:

Dollar Bin Horror

Rhonda loves to save money while indulging her love of horror movies. So she shares reviews of horror flicks she's bought in the dollar bins of her nearby stores. Her most current reviews include New Year's Evil, Don't Go in the House, and The Whorehouse of Horror. (Not sure I'll be renting that last one any time soon!) There's a hysterically funny fan art section of her blog, too.

Horror Film History

This website presents a decade-by-decade guide to the horror movie genre. Select your decade, then choose a movie to learn more about. It's a nice overview and I look forward to seeing more entries.

PARANORMAL:

Queen Mary Shadows

Not a Halloween haunt site, this website focuses on the paranormal rumours surrounding the Queen Mary ship, currently docked as a hotel in Long Beach, CA. The talking ghost child video is freaky. Besides the history of the ship's hauntings and info on the spirits, there are a forum and an events list. I find this topic pretty fascinating, so I'll be sure to visit this site every month.
