I really like Lady Gaga's new song Bad Romance. There is a certian creepy, spooky, scary element to it. I've been so taken by it that I've been scouring the Google Images for spooky/scary pictures of the birdo, and I found just that.
This set of photos was done for Out magazine sometime this past summer by the superb Ellen von Unwerth.
EvU said that her intention was to tell a story about a sort of Frankenstein monster that is turned into a vampire after being endowed with life again.
Isn't that a story you'd love you would love to hear?
The images are very reminiscent to me of of both The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and The Bride of Frankenstein(1935) staring Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester.
As far as the song bad Romance and its music video go, I recommend checking them out. The intro and outro each have a kind of harpsichord (?) in halloween sound and the dance in the video barrows elements of Michael Jackson's Thriller choreography with great success.

Shoulda done the Universal Horror blog-a-thon this year.
Also, I'm slowly becoming a fan of Gaga's.
Its nearly Thanksgiving, and you and Matt finally seem ready for Halloween. Good job guys.
at first i felt pretty neutral about the gaga, but like paul, i'm gradually appreciating her role in pop culture, if not necessarily her music (probably only because I haven't listened to much of it). i like that she's able to straddle the line between pop and weirdness so well.
She's a slightly more feminine David Bowie.
