I guess the test of a good horror photo is whether it makes you scared and uncomfortable without resorting to pure gore. Hoffine's photos qualify.

Researchers have grown replacement penis tissue for rabbits from the animals' own cells. The erectile tissue was then implanted and the rabbits apparently went on to screw like rabbits, successfully reproducing. According to the scientists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, this was t... More.
A new study on "partner abandonment" has found that a woman is six times more likely to be separated or divorced soon after a diagnosis of cancer or multiple sclerosis than if a man in the relationship is the patient. Link... More.

Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature.

Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.

Need unicorn chaser! Stat!
Fantastic! I met Josh last year at Cinema Wasteland near Cleveland Ohio. He's quite the artist and a gentleman to boot. Bravo!
This would make a great cover for The Graveyard Book!
Sorry Joshua, the unicorn chasers in October are... different. This is a unicorn chaser for the fake guts article.
Awesome link, Cory. You on a KC kick today?
Somewhere, Anne Geddes just felt intense psychic pain.
Whoa, yeah... No. 2 is dead on. It'd have made a deadly cover pic for The Graveyard Book.
Fuck that pic freaks me out.
Haha, these are awesome.
Wow that is pretty cool
Notice how even the undead cannot resist curling their fingers under those cute little feet.
Awesome (and gruesome) pics! I love how he seems to always use friends and family members in the shots; must be a blast for everyone involved. I think my favorites are the monster under the bed and the snake... I want that argyle snake!
Who wouldn't want a horror photo of their baby with a zombie. :P Honestly, this is pretty cool. I think that we will never lose our fascination with the scary and the horrific. With Halloween coming, this is one idea that I think people will jump at.
Nice lighting. And elaborate sets like Aaron Hawks.

Wow, the Lady Bathory pic is truly disturbing. I love these though.
Very cool pictures. I like the monster under the bed one. I had a raised bed as a kid and because of it (and mental images similar to the picture) perfected the art of hitting the ground running to use the restroom at night.
Damn, I love October!
... and damn, I love BoingBoing in October!
That is an amazing photo. Things like that make me happy I'm a human (take that, Martians!)
Fun! I think they would have been scarier if they were a little more mundane-if the psycho guy in the babysitter was more normal, rather than the ghoulish brain-surgery dude, or if the woman over the tub had been limp, with just a trickle of blood.
Subtle makes scary, because people will imagine things far worse than what you show.
absolutely obsessed with hoffline's work. xo
