It’s almost – but not quite – too late to herald the fourth anniversary of Gothtober.com, an online Halloween advent calendar with an animated treat behind each day’s “door.” Here’s what someone (okay, I) said about it in 2003:
“Commandeered by one Juliana (JP) Parr and co-animated by a tag team of cheeky CalArts grads and other talented assemblage, the site isn’t Goth in any black-lipstick sense, but it is full of irreverent grotesquerie in the spirit of the season.”
It’s still true. This year’s theme is nautical, so do find time to sail away on a sea of monsters, mysteries, and messing with your head.
