The Gothic Beauty 25 Year Reunion of Original Artists calendar is a celebratory Kickstarter project created by Gothic Beauty, the long-running publisher behind Gothic Beauty Magazine and the Gothic Beauty Box.

Poe

Vaughn Belak‘s artistic creations draw you in with a luminous, large-eyed gaze, spatters of shadow and light creating an alluring blend of fae mischief and gothic gloom.

RazorCandi Dress Like a Freak Meme Banned from Facebook

oh I dress like a freak please explain to me what normal is in grave detail

Beautiful goth and horror icon RazorCandi used to have a Facebook page with almost 150,000 followers, but Facebook unpublished the page. Supposedly this happens because there are too many complaints, but she just posted one of the images which apparently got a lot of negative feedback. It is a meme of her looking very deathrock in a cemetery and it says: “Oh, I dress like a freak? Please explain to me what “normal” is in grave detail.” I assume she was not banned just for […]

BLT Colorful Bleach Process Punk Shirts for Migraine Sufferers

BLT Jumbo Bleach T

The BLT Kickstarter added a bunch of in-your-face shirt designs today. The art is so over-the-top and I love the themes. These are apparently going to use some sort of soft screenprinting process which utilizes bleach, so they won’t have any thick plastic feel. My favorites from this batch are the straitjacket guy with his brain exposed for examination and the Coffee is my drug guy with his head exploding. I don’t even have a migraine today, but those just speak to me. Of course, […]

BLT Black Leather Times Zine Book and Tshirts

BLT Suicide

Old skool goths probably remember the little BLT humor zines from conventions. Each issue had hilarious, witty, and sarcastic writing and really cool artwork. Content ranged from goth-industrial club reviews to quizzes on how to tell if you are dating a vampire (spoiler: you are not dating a vampire.) My favorite parts were probably the bad advice columns and the band interview outtakes with funny things that happened while interviewing bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Die Warzau, Frontline Assembly, GBH, Dread Zeppelin, and more. […]

ALTAR: A New Feature-Length Horror Film Kickstarter

From the diabolical writer that brought us Tin Man, Alice, and Neverland, comes an exciting and creepy new film about demonic possession, ghosts, and dark magik. ALTAR stars Matthew Modine and Olivia Williams, as a young couple embarking on the renovation and restoration of a creepy old mansion, but in the process they bring back more than just the properties former splendor. I really like the classic Hammer horror style influence that shows in the quality production and I agree that this should be seen […]

kickstarter librarians kyle cassidy

We live in an age undreamt, where information pours forth like rivers into oceans. We need people to help us find the information we need. We need librarians. Kyle Cassidy wants to make sure the world knows this. Cassidy, a photographer and something of an anthropologist of modern sub-cultures, shot photos and conducted interviews with librarians at the American Librarian Association’s annual convention. He wants to take that idea much farther though. His goal is to document at least 100 librarians, make a short documentary […]

Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Film Undying Using Kickstarter for Funding

Greg and Jared Butler have some interesting ideas about zombie movies, and how to make one like you’ve never seen before. They just need $45K to make it happen. The Butler brothers want to film a movie about heroic zombies in a post-apocalyptic world fighting against evil human oppressors. The zombies are immortals who’ve lived for a hundred years or more, and use various bio-mechanical bodges to hold their deteriorating bodies together. The movie is called Undying. And while I was skeptical at first (whenever […]
