About this list:

Which is more surreal? The art... or the interpretation? I'm not telling. Mostly because I don't know.

the forgotten bride

First to recommend

Description

"Now, the incident that happened at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel that put this whole gory story into motion, has since become legend. "Massacre At Two Pines". That's what the newspapers called it. The local TV news called it, "The El Paso, Texas, Wedding Chapel Massacre". How it happened, who was there, how many got killed and who killed them - changes depending on who's telling the story. In actual fact, the massacre didn't happen during a wedding at all. It was at a laundromat."

the forgotten bride 3

First to recommend

Description

When I was three, I made scrambled eggs on that couch. How it got in a diner and a bride who was ditched at the altar (three times? or were there three brides who were forgotten? or just three photos of the same forgotten bride who was forgotten once? I'm so confused...) wearing brown shoes ended up falling asleep on it, I'll never know. But that couch was awesome.

the best kept secrets

Maybe it's just me, but I think that garroting oneself with skeleton keys on a string is probably not the best way to keep a secret. Unless, of course, the secrets are in one's head and one plans to keep them by making one's head come off of one's body so that it can no longer speak or make knowing faces or nod.

So yeah. It might work. I take it back.

Bat Man

Description

Ever wonder what happened to the Weekly World News Bat Boy? Apparently, he is all grown up. And just as creepy as ever. I mean, would you look at that suit? Creepy.

Don't forget your earplugs. Pluck one of these and those cries are sure to knock you out for at least a couple of hours. But you'll certainly want them around if you go and get yourself petrified by gazing at the reflection of a Basilisk.

i like my coffee black

Description

Where sinister doll heads can talk and squirrel butts don't glow, even if Tom Petty threw her a doughnut, she still couldn't save herself. Too bad since Queen Gunhilda can't get by without her.

The night of the paper swans

First to recommend

Description

"Hell, maybe we're all getting a little carried away with this. Admittedly a few paper birds did act strange, but that's no reason to..."

"I keep telling you, this isn't 'a few paper birds'! These are gulls, crows, swifts... swans!"

"I have never known paper birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn't stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them?"

"Attacked by paper swans? That's strange, that's the second paper swan complaint we've had."

"What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere! What's this? There's white swans in the air! What's this? I can't believe my eyes, I must be dreaming; wake up, Jack, this isn't fair! What's this?"

"Well, there's no problem. If you have a gun, shoot 'em in the head. That's a sure way to kill 'em. If you don't, get yourself a club or a torch. Beat 'em or burn 'em. They go up pretty easy."

"Look! You two can do whatever you like! I'm going back down to the cellar, and you'd better decide! 'Cause I'm gonna board up that door, and I'm not going to unlock it again no matter what happens!"

Hiding among the poppies

First to recommend

Description

Somebody tell Dorothy over here that he needs to get up and get moving before the flying monkeys turn up and wreak havoc. Because that's what flying monkeys do. They wait for you to fall asleep like a moron and make your whole poppy field all rotten with chaos. And I just wanted to go home. Stupid monkeys.
