Hang out with Death today, buy some skulls

WE SEE DEAD PEOPLE SELLING SKULLS >>>

Today you can see Death - no doubt nattily attired in his customary black robe, jazzed up with spiky shoulder pads and heavy Frankenstein boots - skulking around Hell's Kitchen in downtown Tacoma. Yes, Seattle's dark-themed marketplace Mourning Market will hole-up in the joint beginning at noon, and Death jumped out of a Mini Cooper parked by the curb, but most downtown denizens will figure, hey, maybe Hell's kitchen opened early today.

The live music venue transforms itself into the quintessential creepy crafts shop today, which most know isn't a big stretch. Around 25 vendors (none of them selling garlic) such as Devout Dolls, Madame Talbot's Victorian Lowbrow, Morbid Anatomy, VooDoo Doll Designs, Enchanted Corsets and Fine Apparel, Killer Décor, Rusty Door Photography and The Skull Shoppe will be selling creepy crafts and steampunk gadgets.

So get your Christmas shopping done early you freak.
