i’m gonna go out on a limb and say that i think it’s pretty cool. if i were throwing a christmas carol themed holiday party, and i had money to burn i might consider something like this.
Oh, the subtle warning is being missed here. “Will not tolerate rain or snow” doesn’t mean it’s not waterproof. It means Jacob Marley’s ghost insists on a certain level of comfort. If he is not pleased with his accomodations, he’ll haunt you for reals.
I’m a big horror fan and have long fantasized about doing a haunted-house-themed Christmas party. Victorian magazines ALWAYS had ghost stories in their Christmas issues, which ranged from heartwarming treacle (a la Dickens) to bloodcurdling horror. M. R. James’ classic horror and ghost stories were meant to be read aloud by the fire on Christmas Eve. It’s the most horrifying time of the year!
Winter is the BEST time for horror stories! You’re cooped up inside under cozy blankets (to stay warm OR to hide from horrible relatives at the Festive Family Dinner – and that’s a horror story itself if you’re like me) and it’s gloomy and dark in the evenings. What better time?
I make it a point to only read/watch The Innocents by Henry James at this time of year, because it’s *so* much better when you’re indulging in spooky atmosphere. Not that it isn’t already a fantastic story. Especially the Deborah Kerr adaptation with that musical motif and the creepy child actors.
Oh yeah…when I’m visiting my ‘rents for Xmas, I always sit up late on Christmas Eve reading ghost stories by the fire until I simply can’t take the shudders anymore. (All the better if it’s cold and windy and appropriately Gothick outside!) A personal favorite this time of year is The Haunting, 1963 version, one of the all-time great haunted-house films, w/great performances and direction.
Now I understand “the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” I have never associated Christmas with “scary ghost stories” except for “A Christmas Carol.”
Does the materials list include undigested gristle and mustard?

Yes-it’s a really good movie! Coincidentally, it’s on my Netflix list. I didn’t get through it all the first time I watched it (alone) on Halloween. Great book, too.
Agreed! I kinda dig it. It would go great with my The Nightmare Before Christmas nesting dolls, Darth Vader Helmet crowned with a Christmas wreath, and the Creepy Crawlers bugs we made into Christmas ornaments.
In a similar vein, do you know you can now purchase “A Charlie Brown Tree”? It’s a skinny branch attached to two pieces of wood nailed in an X, with a single ornament to make the branch hang down mournfully.
$19.99 and no, I’m not making it up.
If Johnny Carson (swoon) were still alive, he’d shake his head and say, “But ‘Dickie the Stick’ was a SPOOF. It wasn’t meant to be a real toy!” Or something like that.

It’s a bit steep, yes, but I don’t think it’s quite delusional level. After all, this looks like it’s had a LOT of work put into it (listing says the heads are free sculpted), and if the materials are good quality, then it’s not too terribly unjustified.
OK, what’s your favorite version? For authenticity, I’d have to go with Alistair Sims’ movie, but for cuddly warmth and giggly fun, The Muppets. I’m a fan of old radio shows, so Orson Welles and Lionel Barrymore were the best in that venue.
The limb has gotten quite weighted with all these fat jealous losers out on the limb with you…and I am there too, in fact, all the items in this Etsy sellers shop are quite extraordinary and I love their style…appears to be good quality too!
This is perfect for me, the lazy holiday decorator. Put it up before Halloween and leave it up. Scare the crap out of people all year round. Very Merry.
This would make a really cool Christmas card. Outside: “Cousin Herbie has a his new flame-thrower G.I. Joe.”
Inside: “Have an old-fashioned Christmas full of all sorts of unexpected surprises!”
You know, Ebenezer had to be stone-cold hardcore to sit around chatting semi-normally with ol’ Jake here. That said, I want this thing for our door. Like, now.
Hark the herald demons sing
Glory to our darkness king!
Pain on earth and orgies wild
God and man both defiled!
Painful all the corpses rise
Bleeding from their empty eyes
With the satanic host proclaim
Pitch is born yet again!
Hark the herald demons sing
Glory to our darkness king!
Full version (lifted from “The Munsters’ Scary Little Christmas”)
It’s Christmas and the graveyard folks are coming out to play.
The skeletons and zombies sing a ghoulish rondelet.
The goblins wear their jingle bells and wait for Santa’s sleigh.
Good tidings of mayhem and gore,
blood on the floor.
May your Christmases be scary evermore.
(Had to search for it. It’s a lousy TV film but has some priceless lines, like “I’ll have a virgin Bloody Mary…light on the virgin’s blood, please!”)
Oh my freaking god that’s awesome!!!!! WANT!!!! But then, I have a stuffed Cthulhu wreath on my door right now, which I would be loath to remove. Still, badass!
I dont think it would work on jehovas witnesses… They’re not afraid of death, because of the paradise thing… And theres really only one “boss” for them you know….
Sweet Cthulhu, that’s perfect! A (goth-industrial-fond) friend of mine was just lamenting a plague of door-to-door Mormon missionaries. I have to send this to her NOW!
What would make this *really* special? If those were *hands* holding the ring, instead of … (scrolls back up to check picture …) hmm .. maybe those are bony, skeletal hands?!? Cool!
WTH? 30 comments and I’m the only one who recognizes the accidental goatse in this? My fellow FJL’s are slacking LOL. A pirate goatse FTW. ARRGH. Sounds like you bitches need more vodka.
OT, but still Regretsy related. I got my Regretsy Tarot cards today, and was looking through them. They are freaking AWESOME. I’m going to take my time to actually do a reading with them though, I’m torn in my interpretation of the Towel Mike card, between interpreting it as lust/no lust or sexual partners/no sexual partners. and–I”ll be in my bunk.
@Twatwafflette, nothng wrong with blowing your own horn, so to speak. I was just about to post that you’d discovered it more than an hour earlier. (Nice catch, btw, I didn’t see it until you pointe it out and now I can’t NOT see it and it really adds a lot to the wonderfulness. Thanks!)
Hmmmm…. What should I do with all these leftover Halloween decorations that didn’t sell? I know!! I’ll add some icicles and holly and frosty snow and festive greenery and pass off, um, I mean sell it for Christmas!! And the frosty snow and festive greenery (along with the holly) should be worth another $200, easy!!
Normally, I hate Halloween and everything associated with it. THIS is awesome. Mostly because of the fact that I love A Christmas Carol. It’s a wicked expensive bit of undigested beef, though.
Although I am a fan of xmas gore, I feel as if I could make this myself out of the leftover halloween stuff at rite aid and a wreath from the dollar store.
I don’t know about steampunk, it does say “raider’s fans live here” to me! Maybe one of them will buy it and put it on top of their helmet to wear in the Black Hole!
I WANT IT!!!
I’m not into gore, and only lean into the macabre, but this is horribly wonderful!!
I love how this site not only brings out the.. dubious crafts for our righteous ridicule, but will feature the absolutely amazing from all genres of craft…
I love everything about this! If I had that kind of cash to burn this would be on it’s way to my mailbox right now. It’ll do wonders at scaring away the pushy church people who insist on staying on my doorstep for half an hour and reading me bible passages, snidely informing me about how I can be ‘saved’ if I would just come to their church.
How can you tolerate that? Maybe you could invite them to YOUR church. Tell them that Satanism isn’t nearly as dark and dreary as they imagine it to be.
Or you could do what I did to a couple of Mormon missionaries. I came to the door with my shirt off with a pentacle necklace on and boyfriend in my arms, after cutting up a whole chicken for dinner. I remember telling them, hi, I’m right in the middle of a virgin sacrifice, would you like to join me? I could swear I could see skidmarks on the ground where they once stood.
It’s YOUR doorstep. You’re under no obligation to answer the door, or if you do answer it you’re still under no obligation to let them hang around.
Docleather, my husband did much the same thing by accident. A couple of missionaries came knocking just as he was cutting up apples with a BIG knife. He didn’t even realise it was still in his hand when he answered the door. They didn’t stick around.
I… kinda want this! I hate wreathes, and am always trying to find an alternative. The door feels naked without something on it, we’ve been using a silver sparkly twig covered centerpiece I bought a few years ago covered in blue bulbs, but this would be way cooler!
This is AWESOME! I’d buy it if I could afford. I could decorate my house to match, and really offset my neighbor who’s yard looks like the Walmart Christmas aisle.
I think this is completely awesome…I even have a covered front door, so I don’t have to face the horrible consequences of his not tolerating rain or snow.
I actually like this, quite a lot! Where are his rattling chains?? For that price I expect every little detail.
Before I had a kid, I had many Merry Gothmases. Black tree, upside down chandelier-style, all crystals and red and black with merry little skulls and heathenish delights. After the baby was born, in-laws became involved, I started going traditional. If traditional includes demonic rubber duckie ornaments, that is. We’re reclaiming Gothmas a little more each year.
Can’t wait ’til the chillun gets a bit older! Gargoyles and skeletons and dragons are already creeping their way back all over the house. I love me some dollar store the day after Halloween!

He now looks like my dad, but with a toupee. I am not all right with this.
December 12, 2011 at 9:33 am
I think it looks a little like Iggy Pop.
December 12, 2011 at 9:36 am
OMG, I love this. It will go well with my black Satanic anti-Christmas tree! It will totally set off the upside-down star tree topper.
December 12, 2011 at 9:57 am
Merry Cthulumas!
December 13, 2011 at 9:01 pm
even better, I’ll put it on top of my festivus pole!
December 12, 2011 at 9:37 am
Well if this doesn’t keep the in-laws away, nothing will…
December 12, 2011 at 10:16 am
Unless they think you’ve graced the door with their portrait.
December 12, 2011 at 9:37 am
description fail….this is prime for a “steampunk” tags
also, the left side of the kerchief looks like smurfett’s bajingo, so “mystic wombyn” should also be added.
December 12, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Agreed. My first thought was “Wait, no ‘steampunk’ tags? This is Charles Dickens, people!”
December 12, 2011 at 9:37 am
i’m gonna go out on a limb and say that i think it’s pretty cool. if i were throwing a christmas carol themed holiday party, and i had money to burn i might consider something like this.
December 12, 2011 at 9:38 am
I agree. This is sweet.
December 12, 2011 at 9:44 am
I dig it, too! I just wonder, besides AZ, parts of FL, and southern CA, where would this have little risk for snow/rain? Durability, folks!
As a bonus, though, you could threaten your kids with it when they’re bad….
December 12, 2011 at 11:38 am
Apartments with inner corridors.
December 12, 2011 at 2:25 pm

I kind of want this so I can put it in a window and make people scratch their heads.

December 12, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Oh, the subtle warning is being missed here. “Will not tolerate rain or snow” doesn’t mean it’s not waterproof. It means Jacob Marley’s ghost insists on a certain level of comfort. If he is not pleased with his accomodations, he’ll haunt you for reals.
December 12, 2011 at 9:51 am
I’m with you…my first thought was, “WANT!”
I’m a big horror fan and have long fantasized about doing a haunted-house-themed Christmas party. Victorian magazines ALWAYS had ghost stories in their Christmas issues, which ranged from heartwarming treacle (a la Dickens) to bloodcurdling horror. M. R.

December 12, 2011 at 9:52 am
Yes, it’s absolutely creepy-wonderful! And even looks well-made.
December 12, 2011 at 9:52 am
Me too, and it actually looks like it’s well done. It would scare the jeebus out my neighbors. Which I manage to do on a regular basis.
December 12, 2011 at 10:02 am
I also think this is cool.
I also want a rotted skull of Bob Marley door knocker for the back door.
December 12, 2011 at 10:14 am
I think it’s pretty awesome myself, but then my interior decorating includes Halloween year round …so… ya know…I’m weird
December 12, 2011 at 11:06 am
Our “Christmas lights” right now are the halloween ghosts we hung back in September. So yeah, this wreath would GO with the decor.
December 12, 2011 at 11:27 am
Does anyone ask why you have ghost lights? You can say they’re ghosts of Christmases past. I would only ask, “Where can I get a set of my own?”
December 12, 2011 at 10:28 am
Not for $500.00 though. Again with the delusional pricing.
December 12, 2011 at 11:21 am
I second that, I’d buy it, but 500 is a little much. I got my christmas tree for 20 bucks at Dollar General.
December 12, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Same place I bought my tree! It didn’t look half bad once I put a bazillion lights on it and an ornament in every crevice.
December 12, 2011 at 3:46 pm
That probably would help the tree, too.
December 12, 2011 at 4:19 pm
In a similar vein, do you know you can now purchase “A Charlie Brown Tree”? It’s a skinny branch attached to two pieces of wood nailed in an X, with a single ornament to make the branch hang down mournfully.

Well, he has 116 sales in this shop alone. I think he knows what he’s doing.
December 12, 2011 at 10:40 am
jumping on the bandwagon as well – I know SO many people who would think this rocks.
December 12, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Agreed, I was thinking I could dig this in the right setting.
December 12, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Christmas Carol has always been one of my husband and I’s favorite Christmas stories. I’m down with this, if I were a millionaire.
December 12, 2011 at 4:22 pm
OK, what’s your favorite version? For authenticity, I’d have to go with Alistair Sims’ movie, but for cuddly warmth and giggly fun, The Muppets. I’m a fan of old radio shows, so Orson Welles and Lionel Barrymore were the best in that venue.

December 14, 2011 at 2:41 pm
I kind of love it too… and I’d put it IN my classroom when we read “The Christmas Carol” for when the knocker changes into Marley’s face.
Oh yes we would!
December 12, 2011 at 9:38 am
This is perfect for me, the lazy holiday decorator. Put it up before Halloween and leave it up. Scare the crap out of people all year round. Very Merry.
December 12, 2011 at 11:27 am
It’s multipurpose!
December 12, 2011 at 9:38 am
Wow, that is awesome. It would work great as a Halloween decoration too, for those who like the Nightmare Before Christmas vibe.
December 12, 2011 at 9:38 am
Nothing is as useful as a wreath you CAN’T use outside.
December 13, 2011 at 7:57 am
Well, in this neighbourhood, you don’t put anything outside unsupervised. Not if you still want to own it in the morning.
December 12, 2011 at 9:39 am
…is that a giant sparkly tear flowing from his one good eye?
December 12, 2011 at 9:53 am
Wondered that. Maybe it’s supposed to be goo from decomp..? A sparkly tear would be awesome though!
December 12, 2011 at 10:19 am

I have to add that this thing is just gorgeous.
December 13, 2011 at 8:06 am
The knocker changed to the likeness of Marley’s face. There’s no description of it looking horrific.
This is really well done and I like it, but it doesn’t exactly shout “A Christmas Carol” to me.
December 13, 2011 at 8:07 am
…Oh, and I don’t think Scrooge would have had a wreath around his door knocker. Just saying.

I’m not into gore, and only lean into the macabre, but this is horribly wonderful!!
I love how this site not only brings out the.. dubious crafts for our righteous ridicule, but will feature the absolutely amazing from all genres of craft…

I kinda like this…
December 12, 2011 at 4:11 pm
I love it! That is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen!

I kind of actually really like that. It’s like Nightmare Before Christmas IRL.

I love everything about this! If I had that kind of cash to burn this would be on it’s way to my mailbox right now. It’ll do wonders at scaring away the pushy church people who insist on staying on my doorstep for half an hour and reading me bible passages, snidely informing me about how I can be ‘saved’ if I would just come to their church.

How can you tolerate that? Maybe you could invite them to YOUR church. Tell them that Satanism isn’t nearly as dark and dreary as they imagine it to be.

Or you could do what I did to a couple of Mormon missionaries. I came to the door with my shirt off with a pentacle necklace on and boyfriend in my arms, after cutting up a whole chicken for dinner. I remember telling them, hi, I’m right in the middle of a virgin sacrifice, would you like to join me? I could swear I could see skidmarks on the ground where they once stood.

It’s YOUR doorstep. You’re under no obligation to answer the door, or if you do answer it you’re still under no obligation to let them hang around.
Docleather, my husband did much the same thing by accident. A couple of missionaries came knocking just as he was cutting up apples with a BIG knife. He didn’t even realise it was still in his hand when he answered the door. They didn’t stick around.

I… kinda want this! I hate wreathes, and am always trying to find an alternative. The door feels naked without something on it, we’ve been using a silver sparkly twig covered centerpiece I bought a few years ago covered in blue bulbs, but this would be way cooler!

This is AWESOME! I’d buy it if I could afford. I could decorate my house to match, and really offset my neighbor who’s yard looks like the Walmart Christmas aisle.

I think this is completely awesome…I even have a covered front door, so I don’t have to face the horrible consequences of his not tolerating rain or snow.

I’m in love with this. IN LOVE.

I actually like this, quite a lot! Where are his rattling chains?? For that price I expect every little detail.
Before I had a kid, I had many Merry Gothmases. Black tree, upside down chandelier-style, all crystals and red and black with merry little skulls and heathenish delights. After the baby was born, in-laws became involved, I started going traditional. If traditional includes demonic rubber duckie ornaments, that is. We’re reclaiming Gothmas a little more each year.
Can’t wait ’til the chillun gets a bit older! Gargoyles and skeletons and dragons are already creeping their way back all over the house. I love me some dollar store the day after Halloween!

LOVE IT! But for the price I would EXPECT it to to be able to tolerate the elements. Come on now.

I’m reading “custom icicles” but I can’t help but see “frozen dog drool”…
December 16, 2011 at 6:06 pm
D= I wish I could afford one.
December 17, 2011 at 2:04 pm
I think it is pretty cool. If I had extra cash I would buy it in a heartbeat!
