I've seen a lot of hearses in my travels on the Net. This amazing 1929 restored Cadillac hearse is the most beautiful I've ever seen. I love the rounded shapes, the knob on the top, and the ribbing. Amazingly, it only has around a thousand miles on it. You can just see a fairytale evil queen riding around in this waving her hand wickedly. Should you care to transport your purchase from its home

These Frankenstein Mary Janes just make me laugh. This is exactly why I love T.U.K. - they have a great sense of humor and they're not afraid to put out silly shoes. The shoes are black, purple and green, with green Frankenstein stitching and a cute little stitched heart shape button. Great for Nightmare Before Christmas Sally costumes, too!

You could go see the colorful, cutesey, moralistic Beauty and the Beast 3D in theaters this weekend, or you could sit around creating your own dark fairy tales with Mezco's Beauty and the Beast Living Dead Dolls. Released in November 2011 just in time for long dark fall and winter nights. Beauty has gorgeous purple and lavender highlights in her hair; the Beast has an elegantly scarred face.

What's a creative goth to do to while away the long, cold dark hours of winter nights? There's nothing to watch on TV: True Blood is off the air until June; both Being Human versions are on hiatus; and there's no new Walking Dead episodes until February 12. Might as well light a toasty warm fire, pour a glass of port or sherry, and settle in to create some adorably spooky goth crafts. Zombie

There aren't really any nooks and crannies to tuck spooky little treats into, so I suppose this really isn't an Advent calendar. This Nightmare Before Christmas Countdown Calendar is a plush calendar that hangs on your wall. It features Jack Skellington and his kidnapped Santa.

If only Halloween were a gift-giving holiday like Christmas is. Then I'd put Pullip's Bloody Red Riding Hood on my wish list. It's from Pullip's new Creator's Label. The doll is a collaboration by several different designers. She wears a wolf imprint on her white gown; plus a luxurious bloody looking cape. She carries a basket of goodies for her grandmother.

There's no way my mother would have let me read "Zombie in Love" when I was four to eight years old! It tells the story of Mortimer, a zombie who very much wants to be in love. At the Zombie Nite Cafe, ghouls, werewolves, and veiny eyeballs order meals such as "scrambled brains" and "malformed meat patties." Another book designed for four-to-eight year olds.

Ludy Lescot Tarot, on AmazonOne of my favorite tarot publishers, Lo Scarabeo, developed this Ludy Lescot deck, based on the instructions of an esoteric student in New Orleans. The artist is Patrizio Evangelisti. The artwork is particularly dark and gothic. The deck, however, has taken some unfortunate liberties with renumbering a couple Major Arcana cards.

With this Nine Inch Nails Lullabyes," your baby can gently fall asleep to the melodies of "Hurt," "Closer," "The Hand that Feeds," and even "Head Like a Hole."

Send your goth kid to school with an unusual, interesting backpack. They won't want to show up with Twilight or heavy metal-themed backpacks, so let them express their style with something cool and a bit spooky.

Since I'm a confessed shopaholic and Halloween addict, I look forward with much anticipation every year to see what Halloween products Bath and Body Works will come out with. I feel like their collection just gets better every year. Adorable and harmlessly spooky, but not nauseatingly cute. It's all stuff I use anyway, so I never feel a twinge of guilt getting products in every scent that I like

Even goths have to go outside sometimes during the blazing hot, sunny summertime. Whether you're at a baseball game, lounging by the pool or going on a goth cruise, you can strut in style with horror-themed flip-flop sandals.

Check out this cool vintage horror game. I find it hilarious that back in the 1970s somebody thought it would be a cool idea to make this game.

Love at First Bite: The Unofficial Twilight Cookbook features breakfast recipes (Bite at Dawn), Italian dishes (Chow Bella), lots of sandwich recipes, desserts (Bite at Twilight), and beverages (Love at First Sip). It doesn't look like there are very many pictures inside, and the book inexplicably included some Twilight trivia, which has nothing to do with food. Oh well!The same author also

A black pillow in and of itself isn't goth. To be a gothic pillow, there must be something else, an added layer, a bizarre texture, or a fabulous design. Something about the style must make the pillow look like it would fit into a Romantigoth's home, or add to the decor in a Victorian style household, or make a home look ready for a vampire-themed photo shoot. The Cabbage Rose pillow has thick

Twilight has nothing to do with goth (or horror, for that matter) but I thought you might get a kick out of seeing this eBay listing. You can win a set visit during the filming of "Breaking Dawn" in Vancouver, Canada. Proceeds from the auction go to support "Stand up to Cancer."

I'm so excited to see all the new gothy-style cupcake supplies at Sur la Table. They're part of their Halloween collection, but the designs would work year-round. The "Skull Set" comes with 25 cupcake wrappers and a decorative paper skull topper. Wouldn't this Black Damask baking cup look fabulous with a red velvet cupcake inside it? These black-and-white floral baking cups have a bit too

This Addams Family Colorforms set is the most expensive Colorforms collectible I've ever seen! If only I had a time machine, I would have worked harder to talk my mom into letting me get a set of these when I was a kid.. then carefully stored them away!Whoops, I spoke too soon.

I don't know if this Calico Living Dead Doll is intentionally supposed to look like Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas, but she certainly does. At any rate, she's an adorable little dead vinyl rag doll!

Vilf! That cracks me up. Probably everybody on the show is even hotter than Stifler's mom. This "Turn Me" shirt is perfect for someone just waiting for Jessica to come along. I like the allusion to Twilight fandom that's inherent in this "Team Bill" True Blood tshirt. Heck, I'd wear it proudly! Except this one is a mens' shirt. Here is the womens' shirt.

I don't know what a Pook-A-Looz is, and I'm not sure why they didn't just call these cute Nightmare Before Christmas plush dolls exactly that. Anyway, I find them utterly adorable, and I hope one or two of them finds their way into my Christmas stocking this year!There's also an Alice in Wonderland Pook-a-Looz, based on Tenniel's traditional Alice illustrations instead of the Tim Burton Alice.

I am drooling, I can't help it. I want this "The Dwindling Party" pop-up book soo bad for my pop-up book collection. And for my Edward Gorey collection. Alas, I don't have $500 to spare on such goodness. Gotta pay the power bill instead. At least I can enjoy looking at the pictures here in this auction!

This year's Living Dead Dolls exclusive for the 2010 San Diego Comic Con is a resurrected set of Hazel & Hattie. They're ultra-creepy twins in matching green schoolgirl uniforms. This is what Hazel & Hattie used to look like. I actually prefer the resurrected Died & Doom SDCC exclusive. The bride's blood-spattered dress is so awesome!

I'm not sure what a "hellcoat" is, but this long black corset coat is gorgeous. This one was designed for men. This same company, which I hadn't heard of until my wanderings tonight, makes a lovely Johnny Depp Mad Hatter coat in red.

From the Tonner doll company comes the intriguing "Sinister Circus" series of dolls. This is the Ring Mistress, a limited edition. The gothiest, and therefore loveliest, doll in the set is "The Waif." "Madame Myst" is the circus's resident gypsy fortuneteller. Not all that sinister-looking, to be honest. The knife-thrower is "Cut Your Losses." He looks like he might "miss" on purpose..The

She doesn't look super friendly like most of the Halloween cookie jars do. For serious fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas, here's a hard-to-find NMBC cookie jar.

Imagine waking up to see this insane looking Dracula dummy at the foot of your bed. (Hopefully that will never happen!) If you buy this, store him safely away in a box in the closet until you use him for your haunt! This Dracula dummy looks less crazy, and more downright demonically evil. Do you want to just scare your trick-or-treaters a little bit, or make them actually wet their pants?

String dolls were uber trendy in 2009, so I sort of got sick of them. But my interest is revived lately due to these cute Frankenstein and his Bride string dolls from Thailand. The screws artfully deployed on the sides of their heads make me giggle. How often do you see dolls made to look like boy witches? Cool! This nerdy witch string doll is just too adorable. She really needs to be adorning

I am getting such a kick out of this set of Frankenstein paper dolls from 1983. It comes with Frankenstein's monster and his bride. She has a wedding dress, and oddly, there's a jester costume and a football outfit. Uh, ok!The paper dolls also include Dracula (with cape costume) and the Werewolf.I guess it's not all that uncommon, because there's another listing for the same Monster paper doll

Jason Wu's latest fashion designs are for the Ashton-Drake company's "Brides of Dracula" series. Above is The Contessa, one of the three temptresses.
