Death Comes for Father John Misty in New Stop-Motion Video

Josh Tillman fights off the dead as they try to pull him into his grave in the new video for “Please Don’t Die.”

Death comes for Father John Misty’s down-and-out clay doppelganger in the stop-motion video for “Please Don’t Die.” A harmonica-playing reaper and dancing corpse couples add extra creepy and charm.

“Please Don’t Die” is from Father John Misty’s new album God’s Favorite Customer out June 1st on Sub Pop.

Today’s gathering of weird art and morbid oddities for sale.

I didn’t have to wander too far off into the dark, unknown corners of the internet to find this week’s picks. I unearthed today’s featured oddities from a few of my favorite artists whose work conjures a yearning for cooler days and thinning veils.

Let’s peel back the veil and take a peek into what awaits on the other side.

Friday Featured Oddities #1: Mysterious Crustacean, Bat Necklace, and Human Skull Bowl

Today’s roundup of weird art and morbid oddities for sale.

The eye of the Great Gorther Shell by Tom Ellis

I’ve been doing Friday Featured Oddities on the Cult Facebook page off and on for years now, sharing art and oddities for sale either by members of the Cult of Weird community or shops I stumble upon by fortuitous happenstance. As Facebook continues to tighten its grip on organic reach, however, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to get those kinds of posts seen.

So, as long as time permits (which may be rarely…we’ll see how it goes) I’m going to round up 3 weird, morbid, and/or creepy items to feature every Friday. Hopefully it doesn’t go extinct like Weekend Weird.

Without further ado, here are today’s featured oddities:

The Great Gorther Shell

The Great Gorther Shell by Tom Ellis
“The Great Gorther Shell,” a mysterious crustacean sculpted by artist Tom Ellis. This and other unique creatures are available in his Etsy shop right here.

Silver Bat Necklace
