Are you a zombie in the morning? Then here’s the perfect set of mugs to help start your day. Turkey Merck Pottery, created by ceramicist Kevin “Turkey” Merck, is a beautiful series of drinking vessels, made to look like realistic zombie heads.
The ceramic mugs are designed and handmade by Merck, and released in very limited quantities at a time. Although, this type of awesomeness will cost a bit more than your average coffee mug — starting at around $200 USD each.

Photographer/model/baker Christine McConnell may appear innocent enough, with the whole 50s housewife thing going on. But behind the scenes lurks a baker with a love of the macabre.
From killer waffle cones to a face hugger sugar cookies, McConnell produces desserts that would make any movie monster or serial killer proud. Christine does occasionally break away from the creepy stuff, producing dishes and cakeworks that are downright gorgeous.
Check out more of McConnell, aka Foodiggity’s new bestie, over at Instagram.

Annabel de Vetten of Conjurer’s Kitchen makes beautiful cakes. Not pretty flower and ribbon-laden cakes — but rather skull, blood, and skin cakes.
One of her latest creations provides perfect insight into her style, with a tiered human organ cake. From one side, the cake appears innocent enough, although already a bit macabre, covered with black fondant and gold lacework.
It’s not until we check out the other side, that we get a glimpse into Conjurer’s Kitchen’s specialty. The yummy layers consist of human innards — including a heart, healthy set of lungs, and top brain tier.
