Adipocere
A perfectly disgusting site which is, as its name implies, about that horribly awful substance that some of us will become after death. Yes, "Grave Wax," "Corpse Cheese" or "Mortuary Fat" - call it what you will! Some delightfully gruesome photos highlight this page.

Anatomic Pathology Case Of The Month
A fascinating collection of pathological case studies, complete with gross and microscopic photographs. Recommended for those of us who never miss an episode of "Trauma: Life In The ER".

Baby Photo Retouching Service
A very strange site, by a very poor photo retoucher who offers to make dead babies look like dead babies with smeary faces. The "before" and "after" gallery is a must-see.

BeDead.Com
A nice collection of gore-ible images, but some factual inaccuracies (they had pictures of Lisa McPherson's autopsy labeled as "Terry Schiavo" when I was exploring it) sully the proceedings. Still worth a browse.

Body Modification E-Zine
A somewhat frightening look at the various ways that people mutilate themselves. I'm a bit obsessed with the scarification page, myself...

Case Index - University of Pittsburgh
An excellent collection of patient case studies - some of which end in death and include forensic pathology images - courtesy the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Department of Pathology. Something to read on a slow rainy day...

Celebrity Morgue
A classic site in which you can view the rotting remains of such former denizens of high society as Marilyn Monroe, Tupac, JFK, Ted Bundy, and my personal favorite, Edgar Allan Poe. Don't forget to say hello to him when you pass by...

Choose Death
Although the main site has been down for awhile, this subsidiary site offers a large collection of some of the most repulsive gore images on the web. Prepare to be horrified.

Corpse Museums In Thailand
You've got to see this amazing site to believe it! Excellently gruesome images of Siamese Corpses preserved in living color. (Be sure to catch the "Crime", "Surgery" and the hard to spot "Miserable Affairs In Thailand" sections.) Now, why don't they have any museums like this where I live?

Corpse Of The Week
A very well-done site, which lives up to its name by featuring a newly submitted corpse photo every week. It also contains a gruesome archive and some ugly photos of a deceased Chris Farley. Recommended!

Crime Life
An amazing site chock full of the most despicable and disgusting the web has to offer. The photo gallery is comprehensive, the content exhaustive. Definitely a must-see!

Crime Magazine: An Encyclopedia Of Crime
A wonderful site full of thought-provoking articles, tantalizing trivia, gore and more!

DeadBaby.Com
Okay, so there's not really much of anything here yet, but what potential! Unfortunately, they don't have an e-mail address, otherwise I'd send them some contributions...

DoeNetwork.Org
An international volunteer organization dedicated to missing persons and unidentified victims' cold cases. Reading the solved cases is most interesting!

Emergency Medicine (EMBBS)
An excellent emergency medicine site which features a lovely photo gallery. Winces aplenty are to be had here!

Extreme Birth Deformities
I don't particularly trust any of the information on this site, but it is a good collection of disturbing deformities.

Faces Of Death
One of the most comprehensive gore sites on the web, although a bit sullied by the ever-annoying porn site links all over it. Still, a must-see... although you may spend a lot of time averting your eyes.

Flap Surgery
Debased.Com has unearthed some of the most repulsive surgical pictures ever!

Forensic Entomology
The non-entomologically minded among us may find these case studies of insect-aided forensics investigations a bit squeamish. Actually, even entomologists themselves may have trouble accepting the fact that some insects would much rather see us dead. Thought-provoking, to be certain.

Forensic Pathology
A collection of forensic pathology clinical photos - both gross and microscopic - with nice scientific explanations of the facts behind the carnage. Very interesting...

The Gallery Of Death
Gruesome and highly disturbing images of death and rape "from the 1998 Indonesian riots" highlight (or is that lowlight) this page. Some nice pics of dead celebrities tops it off in fine style.

Gorezone
A pretty damned horribly good collection of absolutely horrendous images.

Gross Specimens
A wonderful collection of fetuses in jars and the like, which includes a lovely 360 degree panorama video of one of the more disturbing fetuses. Great fun!

Headwound
Another of those annoying "pay to see the really good stuff" sites - and at $14.95 I think I'd just wait until the pics eventually filter down to the completely free sites! - but it does have a small free preview section.

ID-Wanted.Org
A fascinating site dedicated to help law enforcement find missing or unidentified bodies. Contains some graphic post-mortem shots of unidentified victims.

L.A. County Coroner Unidentified Persons Search
Exactly as it says - you can look at the images of deceased persons who have yet to be identified by the L.A. coroner's office. Some of the headshots are not exactly fresh...

Menu
A website chockful of disturbing images under the categories "Baby" (yes, there are some doozy deformities!), "History" (WWII-era atrocities and the like), and "Others" (horrible mutilations, etc.) This one has some pics I've never seen before, which is hard to pull off!

Mexico - The Dark Side
A wonderful collection of photographs of the Museo de las Momias, various Mexican cemeteries, and the always-nifty Day Of The Dead celebrations. Gosh, it's enough to make me want to visit Mexico!

A somewhat disturbing site with a small but disturbing collection of gore images.

Ogrish
What a perfectly horrible website, chock full of disturbing videos and images.. So, what are you waiting for?

The return of one of the sickest sites on the web. Need I say more?

Well, the title pretty much says it all. Bring out the Bactine, Mom!

Show No Mercy
A very lovely site, chock full of the choicest gore available on the web. Well worth a stroll... but please don't step on the bespattered remains!

Si Quey's Place
From Alf's always-interesting website comes this magnificently morbid travelogue of a trip to the Songran Niyomsane Forensic Medicine Museum in Bangkok, where executed criminal Si Quey's naked body greets you. Definitely a must-see if ever in Thailand!

The Smoking Gun: Archive
From the always-compelling Smoking Gun, this is a collection of images including decades-old crime photos, mug shots, JKF assassination pics, and war casualty images during World War II. Gripping stuff, of course.

Trauma Code
An advertisement for a seemingly quite fascinating book called (you guessed it) Trauma Code, which details all sorts of misfortune that has befallen individuals before you. Now the question remains - which manner of gruesome death will choose you? Only the suicidal know for sure...

World of Death
An excellent collection of yuck-yuck-yuck images!


AirDisaster.Com
An absolutely enchanting site chock full of the most intensely horrifying moments ever experienced in the Wild Blue Yonder. I could spend all day at a site like this!

Amusement Ride Accident Reports and News
If you're thinking of heading to Great America, Six Flags, Disneyland, or any other theme park, this page might make you think twice. Unless, of course, the thought of being stranded upside down for six hours or being hurled from a roller coaster to your death actually sounds like a fun day out.

Bus Plunge!
The name says it all - a collection of tragic tales of buses plunging into all variety of abysses. Gripping stuff, quite naturally!

Car Crash Photos, Stories & Songs
This is a true labor of... um... "love" from someone utterly obsessed with the violence of car crashes. The abundant photo galleries show mangled vehicles, some with people trapped/dead inside them, and abundant victims of crash trauma. Definitely a must for the rubber necker in all of us.

PlaneCrashInfo.Com
Another completely captivating plane crash archive. Exhaustive and entrancing!

Wrecked Exotics

Dead Man Eating
Ever since the Texas Department of Criminal Justice <ahem> decided to take down their "Final Meals" listing on their website I've been virtually inconsoleable. Until this site came along to fill the gap, that is. You can also read the final statements of the executed Texans. And ever since I saw the documentary "The Thin Blue Line" I've tended to believe the ones who say they are innocent...

Internet Crime Archives
A very complex and colorful site chock full of info on your "favorite" serial killers. Remember, don't get so close to the study that you yourself actually end up inside the fridge! Essential.

Jack The Ripper
A magnificent, fact-filled, highly gruesome journey through the terror of the Whitechapel Murders. Everything you could possibly want to know about old Jack's evil deeds and abundant proof that the good old days were horrible too.

Jack The Ripper - London England's Infamous Whitechapel Serial Killer!
This is another excellent Jack site - and one that allows you to actually "talk" to the killer. Very clever...

You can also keep tabs on the upcoming executions at this fun-filled site.

A fascinating website detailing one of the most fascinating of unsolved murder sprees.


African-American Holocaust
An incredibly powerful and disturbing set of images conveying the horror racism. A must-see.

By The Neck Until Dead
"John Stark Bellamy II is a life-long Clevelander and enthusiast of its storied past. Since 1994 he has been publishing books and performing slideshows chronicling Cleveland crimes and disasters. Described by one reviewer as the 'Cleveland historian your mother warned you about,' he originally started writing about Forest City dismalia because he wanted to read about such melancholy matters and could find little available to such purpose." Sounds like my kind of a historian! Reap the benefits of his fascinating research here.

Censored Pictures of The Great War
Ever notice how when you see photographs of World War I, you don't tend to see any corpse imagery like you do in photos from other wars? That's because most of the governments involved destroyed such images so to not let the people see the realities of war and possibly object. (Gee, somehow I think that practice is still going on today...) Anyway, here is a collection of French photographs that were not destroyed, so we can see the gory realities of war for ourselves. Great images too - especially the corpse in a tree and the corpse on the barbed wire.

A wonderful collection of strange and compelling old anatomy illustrations.

Relive the horror through photographs that, although grainy and old, still reveal the sickening darkest side of human nature.

The National Museum of Health & Medicine
A morbidly fascinating museum chock full of such medical goodies as John Wilkes Booth and President Garfield's bullet-riddled spinal columns, giant hairballs removed from stomachs, syphilis-destroyed skulls, old medical equipment, etc.

The Official Donnelly Homepage
A mesmerizing and extraordinarily well-crafted page that is dedicated to preserving the history of the Donnellys - a Canadian family who suffered a massacre of five family members in 1880. A wonderful read!

The Peshtigo Fire
Fascinating website dedicated to documenting the worst natural disaster in American history - the Peshtigo Fire of October 8, 1871 which killed at least 1200 people.

Photographs Of Hiroshima And Nagasaki
A fascinating series of pictures illustrating the human toll of the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unforgettable imagery.

A Social History Of Conjoined Twins
This sight is more odd and fascinating than dark or gruesome, but it is rather morbid to read about the deaths of conjoined twins. Imagine awakening in the middle of the night to find that your "other half" has died... and knowing that death will soon come to claim you too. Very interesting case studies of siamese twinhood.

The Tale Of The Sawney Beanes
The horrifying (and not necessarily true) tale of the cannibalistic, incestuous Scottish monsters - the Sawney Beane clan.  Gripping bedtime reading!

An excellent overview of different eras, techniques, and reasons for torture. Be sure to look at the Medieval photo gallery for a truly frightening empathic reaction.

The Adams Residence
A wonderful archive of cemetery photographs (primarily of British origin) highlight this site.

After Life
This is one of the most beautiful collections of photography I have ever seen. Jonathan Clark spent several years photographing the seasons changing in England's Streatham Cemetery, and the results are breathtaking. In many cases, subtle animation and sounds are used to enhance the already captivating ambiance of these magical and melancholy pictures. Take my word for it and visit immediately!

Beneath Los Angeles

King's Capuchins' Catacombs Page
A fascinating photographic study of the Capuchins Catacomb in Palermo, Italy where there are "thousands of corpses lined on the walls like paintings". My goodness - can I hire a home decorator to do that with my place?

Mausoleum Problems
A site dedicated to the problem of "foul-smelling, sticky brownish goo oozing from a leaky mausoleum crypt. This consists of decaying liquified body parts and embalming chemicals. This volatile mixture corrodes right through wooden, or even metal caskets." Lovely.

A great collection of last words, from the wonderful "Brain Candy" website.

A fascinating collection of "at the job" accident reports. Those blue collar workers really know how to make a mess of things!

A collection of on the job accident reports that are perfect for the rubbernecker in all of us!

Really Bad Parents
From the wonderful website The Decline of Civilization: News for the Paranoid comes this disturbing collection of tales of stupid parents and their unfortunate children. Reading this story, I'm reminded of my friend Nikki and her idea of blowguns with contraceptive laced darts. You hide behind a tree and when the stupid people walk by, bullseye! It's worth a thought, don't you think?

Riverside County Sheriff's Department Coroner's Press Releases
I personally think all sheriff/police departments out to have a site like this, don't you?

Where The Stars Died
An excellent guide to Hollywood celebrity death locations. Another must-have for touring Tinseltown.


AutopsyVideo.Com
The next time you're hankering for some graphic autopsy footage, why not check out the products at Autopsy Video.Com?

Our site is www.autopsyvideo.com and we've sold over 50,000 units since coming online in 2000."

Autopsy Zombie Staple Babies
Okay, if you thought Living Dead Dolls were cool (and they are), then you're gonna LOVE the unbelievably creepy cool Autopsy Zombie Staple Babies! I want them all... but they're only available by auction (the latest twisted creation is currently going for $227.50 on Ebay with two days left). Still, a perusal of the archive is definitely worth your time!

Bert & Bud's Vintage Coffins
The t-shirts and posters are nearly as cool as the coffins and urns at this quality establishment!

Bluelips.Com
A casket paperweight and chocolate caskets are my personal favorites on this site, but you can also get the complete Faces Of Death video collection, some nice posters, embalming materials, and some interesting morbid books as well. Banned from Ebay - you know that's gotta be a good sign!

Casket Furniture
You have to be rich to afford them, but these casket inspired additions to your home are fun to admire from afar, even for we dirt poor undead.

City Morgue Gift Shop
A mirthful collection of gifts for the morbidity enthusiast. I especially loved the shirts: "Always a pallbearer, never a corpse". Indeed!

Mutilated teddy bears? Sounds like a splendid gift idea to me!

The Ed Gein Collection
A delightful "props and supplies" shop where you can by such "must-haves" as skull candles and bowls, corpses to put your candy in next Halloween, corpses to simply display about the house, and corpse lights, among other wonderful things. Really, you should go and check it out.

Funeral Consumers Alliance Gift Shop
Yeah, I know, who'd think to look here? But this little shop has a couple of wonderful Edward Gorey mugs (The Gashlycrumb Tinies and The Osbick Bird), as well as a great "panhandling near-corpse" t-shirt. And some interesting books as well. Simply marvelous!

What a marvelous gift shop! Where else can you get such delightful goods as toe tag key chains, body shaped post-its, Black Mariah and LA County Coroner t-shirts, body bags, and a mouse pad that says, "We're Dying For Your Business" on it? Now, where is that Visa card?

Madame Talbot's Victorian Lowbrow
Madame Talbot's artwork is amazing!! Darkly victorian black and white pen and ink drawings of the most delightfully morbid of subjects. Her Victorian mourning dolls are a revelation as well. Highly recommended!!

Necromance
Curios galore at this L.A. store which specializes in animal specimens. I can't say I like those items, however, as I must wonder how they are procured... and I'm assuming it's far from a gentle story. However, human skulls are available here as well, and lots of other fun things are found under "miscellaneous".

Pushin' Daisies
A "mortuary novelty shop" - and what a splendid one it is! Coffin shaped chocolates, mortuary videos, embalming equipment, hearse memorabilia, you name it. Putting the "fun" back in "funeral".

Ugly Shayla makes some lovely dolls - and some of them are even for sale!

UndergroundHumor.Com
Some excellent t-shirts highlight this site. My favorite is "They say that hell is hot, but is it humid? Because I can take the heat; it's the humidity I can't stand." So very true...

Some of the most darkly beautiful paintings and sculptures I've ever seen are on this site. And most of them can be purchased as well. Start decorating!


Britain's Ghosts
This site showcases a number of beautiful old castles and ruins in Britain that are allegedly haunted. Oooh, how I wish I could go there right now!

Now, these are the kind of creations I liked to make with Legos!

Articles with such irresistible titles as "Two Inmates Charged With Eating Fellow Prisoners," "Man Accused Of Putting Daughter In Microwave," and "Car Antenna Pierces Man's Brain" bring out the deranged voyeur in all of us.

BuryMeRight.Com
A dead funny commercial is the highlight of this page - for a company that will help your burial wishes be known and help supply information on burials in the UK. I haven't really investigated it too much so it may be a put-on, but it's definitely worth a look-see if just for the advertisement...

The Chamber: Canada's Darkest Magazine
Yes, a dark Canadian magazine. It was bound to happen someday!

Chopping Block
This has to be one of the most consistently hilarious (and morbid) comics on earth. Absolutely brilliant!!

A great collection of links organized into such categories as "Death and Disfigurement" and "Crime and Punishment".

The Smoking Gun
This is a great site full of documents that you get the feeling you should not be allowed to access... but thank goodness for informants! How else would you get to view Dana Plato's autopsy report, Malcolm X's bullet-riddled diary, a memo detailing the burial at sea of the casket used to transport JFK's body to Washington from Dallas, and Eric Harris' hysterical violent web page ramblings, amongst other morbid and not-so-morbid fascinations. Essential!

Incredible animation of horribly disturbing scenes of chaos, mayhem, and dismemberment! You have been forewarned!

Strange Dolls
Among the greatest dolls ever created. Honest.

Vomitus Maximus
Enjoy the sick, sick, sick world of R.S. Connett - Morbid Painter Extraordinaire!

Warren Criswell
Website of one of my favorite artists. This guy's paintings truly have that genuine "serial killer" kind of vibe to them - and I for one cannot resist them - especially the paintings of dark roads at night. Creepy Cool!

The Young Man's Book Of Amusement
A most splendid book from 1853 entitled "The Young Man's Book Of Amusement". This is a collection of "experiments" for kids - many of which could potentially result in lethal consequences. For example, you can make "Very Beautiful Artificial Petrifactions" by using a substance that the rest of us know as corrosive sulfuric acid. Or make an Electric Kite - just like Ben Franklin! Yes, this sounds precisely like the kind of book *I* would write for children.

 




Death Threats!
