Spookiest greetings, fellow Gnomes! I come bearing dark gifts for the unseelie among you: great frickin’ art to inspire, horrify, and delight. In the Halloween spirit, give us your best scary stories and twisted imaginings these images conjure in you. A grand Samhain to one and all, and enjoy!

Well, it’s certainly inspiring… or it would be if it hadn’t started with Jožin z bažin. Now I have the blasted song stuck in my head…

Lol! I can see how that song gets stuck in your head easily! Let’s share the misery/joy.

The Jožin z bažin picture and song John shared (THANKS a lot John) give me an idea for a MOTW game where the monster isn’t the true monster and it’s the Bigfoot hunters that are the real problem. 🙂
