I love the “If I Had a Heart” music video by Fever Ray. I watch it over and over. It’s not every monster who can say that they’ve found themselves in a building full of dead people, singing a song about life, death, and love. Add to that the fact that she’s a really HOT monster with lots of big teeth, and it’s like the monster version of… of… a fudge sundae or something.
Hey Fever Ray, if you’re going to show us those teeth, you better be ready to use them!
Fever Ray doesn’t have an animal hat. Animal masks are close enough.

I first noticed Ghostella when she was the pale and frightening host of “Ghostella’s Haunted Tomb of… Horror and… Terrible things” or whatever it was that episode. I didn’t care. I was just waiting for her to turn the creepy music on. MMMmmmmm. With enough makeup, Ghostella can pass for a living person, under which guise she pretends to be Heidi Martinuzzi, founder and editor of Pretty Scary dot Net, a blog “For Women in Horror, by Women in Horror”. Our favorite episode of Ghostella’s Tomb was Noir D’Ivoire.
Little did this prepare us for her truly terrifying 2009 role in a movie by Stacy Ponder, (a.k.a. Final Girl) titled “Deadly Dress 4: Never A Bride“. Her role as a crazy lady in a pink dress who menaces the bride and then later meets an untimely death at the hands (or should we say hem) of a haunted wedding dress really made us sit up and pay attention. Wow. Like Nabokov writing Lolita in his third language, Ghostella is able to play a normal person playing a modern day witch in a pink dress with a horrible blond wig and kill it! If I was Paula Abdul, I’d be dancing.
Finally, Ghostella has an animal hat. This will make sense later, trust me.

Do you have anyone you would nominate for Queen of Darkness 2009? Leave a note in the comments! Be sure to provide reasons why you think so in the comment.
I am excited to announce the first annual Queens of Darkness series. Working up to the week of Halloween, I will present 9 candidates for the title of Queen of Darkness 2009. On October 26, I will open up voting so that you can elect your own favorite Queen of Darkness. On Halloween, the winner will be announced, and we will have a reigning Queen of Darkness.
How the candidates are chosen: Our potential queens were picked from movies, video games, and the internet. They are bloggers, musicians, protagonists, and supporting characters. They all did something spectacularly dark in the year 2009. Some were chosen for their horrifying good looks and great blackness of character. Others were chosen because they add so much darkness to the world or their community. If you have a favorite dark lady who you think qualifies in all these ways and should be in the list, leave a comment and I’ll consider her for inclusion. Make sure you include some bad reasons why in your comment!

Good News! No, that three headed guard dog I ordered hasn’t arrived. I’ve got more exciting news than that! I’ve made the shortlist in the category of “Best Special Interest Blog” in this year’s Book Blogger Appreciation Week. I’m understandably excited about it and hope that everyone will go vote for yours truly at their voting booth. (I’m about a quarter of the way down the page.) The competition is a little intimidating. There’s a blog on awful library books, bad book covers, “Guy Lit,” and “Dad Lit.” We can beat them! Go vote now!
