My friend sent me this address so I put it on my site(she toke it from some internet site unknown to me).

 

Ghastly Gore & Putrifying Pestilence!

African-American Holocaust
An incredibly powerful and disturbing set of images conveying the horror racism. A must-see.

 

Anatomic Pathology Case Of The Month
A fascinating collection of pathological case studies, complete with gross and microscopic photographs. Recommended for those of us who never miss an episode of "Trauma" or "The Operation" on TLC.

Aviation Accident Database
An incredible database of information on that most fascinating of tragedies - the airplane crash. With an excellent photo gallery and collection of cockpit voice recordings, visiting this site is one of the best ways to waste time on the internet.

A Catalogue Of Indian Atrocities
Since 1990, the Indian government has been waging a war of torture, murder, and rape on the people of Indian occupied Kashmir. This site documents these horrifying methods of torture and murder, including graphic photographs. A sad testimony to the barren nature of human(un)kind.

Celebrity Morgue
A magnificent site collecting posthumous images from dead celebrities ranging from Stalin and Mother Teresa to Tiny Tim and Marilyn Monroe. This is what the internet was created for!

Choose Death
A brilliantly ghastly site, with some of the best gore galleries I've ever had the misfortune of viewing. Join the mailing list, to make sure you never miss out on a horrible image again!

The Colostomy Homepage
Catchy title, even if it has nothing to do with colostomies (much to my infinite relief!). A small collection of uniquely disturbing images, with a special emphasis on eye surgery. Wince-worthy, indeed!

Corpse Museums In Thailand
You've got to see this amazing site to believe it! Excellently gruesome images of Siamese Corpses preserved in living color. (Be sure to catch the "Crime", "Surgery" and the hard to spot "Miserable Affairs In Thailand" sections.) Now, why don't they have any museums like this where I live?

Crime Life
An amazing site chock full of the most despicable and disgusting the web has to offer. The photo gallery is comprehensive, the content exhaustive. Definitely a must-see!

The Dead Body Picture Page
A well designed collection of disturbing images. The analogy between the cat and human road kill is especially unsettling.

Death Net
This is one of those "members only" death sites that makes you pay for the REALLY good stuff ($12.00 a month)... but there are some nicely gruesome sample pics that you can view for free. Many of these pics I've never seen elsewhere on the net, so be sure to drop by.

Death News
One of the best sources of death information on the web, DeathNews is a fascinating monthly cyberzine which offers disturbing quick time videos of a wide variety of filmed atrocities, from suicides to firing squads to torture, as well as articles covering a huge range of death-related topics. An excellent site... but expensive: $9.99 a month. Still, if you can afford it, one of the best bets around.

The Devil's Kingdom
A large collection of gore pictures... but extremely poorly designed. Perhaps the intent is to mask the sick pics behind the poor design so the censors at Geocities don't discover them? Still worth a look.

Emergency Medicine (EMBBS)
An excellent emergency medicine site which features a lovely photo gallery. Winces aplenty are to be had here!

Faces Of Death
One of the most comprehensive gore sites on the web, although a bit sullied by the ever-annoying porn site links all over it. Still, a must-see... although you may spend a lot of time averting your eyes.

Forensic Entomology
The non-entomologically minded among us may find these case studies of insect-aided forensics investigations a bit squeamish. Actually, even entomologists themselves may have trouble accepting the fact that some insects would much rather see us dead. Thought-provoking, to be certain.

Forensic Pathology
A collection of forensic pathology clinical photos - both gross and microscopic - with nice scientific explanations of the facts behind the carnage. Very interesting...

The Gallery Of Death
Gruesome and highly disturbing images of death and rape "from the 1998 Indonesian riots" highlight (or is that lowlight) this page. Some nice pics of dead celebrities tops it off in fine style.

Gallery Of The Grotesque
A welcome homage to the original great gore site on the net - the late, lamented Dan's Gallery Of The Grotesque: the site that originally brought "Natural Born Losers" to millions of unsuspecting viewers. (You know "Natural Born Losers", don't you? The series of pictures of the moronic man and woman who murdered her husband and posed for pics as they dismembered the body? I thought so!) Unfortunately, as a frequent, enthusiastic patron of the original Gallery Of The Grotesque, I can vouch for the fact that very few of these pics were in the original gallery. (Actually, quite a few of these pics were ones that I scanned for my old Aghast! page...) Hmmm... maybe it's time for me to do my OWN homage!

The Gore Gallery
Formerly "Larry Collins' Gore Gallery," this site is one of the best collection of thoroughly repulsive images remaining on the net. (We've lost quite a few primo sites during the past few months...) Hopefully, this one will keep on keeping on...

Headwound
Another of those annoying "pay to see the really good stuff" sites - and at $14.95 I think I'd just wait until the pics eventually filter down to the completely free sites! - but it does have a small free preview section.

Holocaust Pictures Exhibition
A grim photographic reminder of the horrors of the not-so-distant past. Gripping stuff, as always...

Kim's Capuchins' Catacombs Page
A fascinating photographic study of the Capuchins Catacomb in Palermo, Italy where there are "thousands of corpses lined on the walls like paintings". My goodness - can I hire a home decorator to do thaat with my place?

Mexico - The Dark Side
A wonderful collection of photographs of the Museo de las Momias, various Mexican cemeteries, and the always-nifty Day Of The Dead celebrations. Gosh, it's enough to make me want to visit Mexico!

 

Morbid Reign
I'll let the site's own description speak for itself: "disturbing, gruesome images, death, autopsy photos, post-mortem, torture, abuse, tasteless photos, tasteless images." Yep, it definitely belongs here!

The Morgue
A small collection of images of diseased and deceased bodies. The links are virtually unreadable, unfortunately, but you know what you're in store for by now, don't you?

Murder, Inc.
"This site is dedicated to the brave men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department." What exactly that has to do with a detailed analysis of Milwaukee's Finest, Jeffrey Dahmer, and various oft-seen carnage pictures, I'm not sure... but it's a nice gore site, nonetheless.

Museo de las Momias
What a wonderful concept - a museum in Mexico which consists of corpses unearthed from the local cemetery and set on display. Now, why don't they do that sort of thing around here?

Ogrish
What a perfectly horrible website, chock full of disturbing videos and images.. So, what are you waiting for?

Rotten Dot Com
A brilliant site, chock full of some of the most amusing and/or disgusting images available from the archives of alt.tasteless.pictures. A must see!

The Routine Autopsy
A text-based site which describes in detail the ins and outs of the autopsy.

Russian Necro-World
The return of one of the sickest sites on the web. Need I say more?

Scary Stuff
An extremely well-designed, welcome addition to the ranks of the horrid. I think the word "yucko!" pretty well sums it up.

Show No Mercy
A very lovely site, chock full of the choicest gore available on the web. Well worth a stroll... but please don't step on the bespattered remains!

Shy's Cyber Chamber
An incredibly well-designed fascinating site full of death photographs ("Online Necropolis"), strange tales ("Weird Chamber"), abundant serial killer info ("Serial Killers Chamber"), Ghost stories ("Ghost Chamber") and thoughtful morbidity galore. Visit immediately!

The Tasteless Photo List
A fairly typical collection of tasteless images, coupled with some tasteless stories to boot!

TC Collection Of Medical And Forensic Images
An amazing collection of over 600 images of death and disease from the one and only Tom Comegys! Absolutely essential!

The Torture Network
This site is definitely not for the squeamish... but then none of these sites are. Very intense photographs of torture and mutilation.

Trauma Code
An advertisement for a seemingly quite fascinating book called (you guessed it) Trauma Code, which details all sorts of misfortune that has befallen individuals before you. Now the question remains - which manner of gruesome death will choose you? Only the suicidal know for sure...

War Against War!
After World War I, German pacifist Ernst Friedrich began a crusade to end war by showcasing the horrible mutilations and tragic deformities which had befallen many of the German soldiers. Here are a few of those images, as disturbing today as they were at the time.

 

Wonderland
A brilliant site and probably my favorite gore site - amazing, exhaustive, and completely enthralling. I especially like "Grandad's Scrapbook" of death images (actually, a collection of images from the Death Scenes book), and the "Corpse Of The Week" feature. It's because of sites like this that I gave up my own gore site. I mean, with competition like this, what's the point? Sigh...

 

Catastrophic Crashes!

AirDisaster.Com
An absolutely enchanting site chock full of the most intensely horrifying moments ever experienced in the Wild Blue Yonder. I could spend all day at a site like this!

 

Amusement Ride Accident Reports and News
If you're thinking of heading to Great America, Six Flags, Disneyland, or any other theme park, this page might make you think twice. Unless, of course, the thought of being stranded upside down for six hours or being hurled from a roller coaster to your death actually sounds like a fun day out.

 

PlaneCrashInfo.Com
Another completely captivating plane crash archive. Exhaustive and entrancing!

 

 

Carious Criminalia!

APB Online
A fantastic collection of crime news from across the globe, updated daily! Mesmerizing, to say the least...

The most comprehensive crime news site on the web. A splendid browse!

The Crime Library
An excellent collection of articles about your favorite infamous individuals.

The Electric Chair.Com

Forensic Science and the Charles Manson Murders
A compelling essay (no pictures - sorry) which illustrates that the LAPD have been screwing up forensic studies for years.

Internet Crime Archives
A very complex and colorful site chock full of info on your "favorite" serial killers. Remember, don't get so close to the study that you yourself actually end up inside the fridge! Essential.

Jack The Ripper
A magnificent, fact-filled, highly gruesome journey through the terror of the Whitechapel Murders. Everything you could possibly want to know about old Jack's evil deeds and abundant proof that the good old days were horrible too.

 

Texas Department Of Criminal Justice Statistics
Leave it to Texas to put up a website detailing the final meal requests and final statements for its executed masses. You can also keep tabs on the upcoming executions and view pictures and description of the horrendous deeds that landed the morons in prison in the first place. Obviously, it's of compelling interest!

 

Historical Atrocities!

The Black Death
Learn all about the Black Death at this extremely lovely Discover Online site. Just click on the pestilent rat!

Disasters And Catastrophes
Who can resist a site that shows such enthusiasm for the joys of reading about the misfortunes which befall the unluckier members of the human race - and makes no apologies about it! Certainly, a site to keep your eye on.

The Guillotine Headquarters
Another lovely site dedicated to that most efficient of execution devices - the Guillotine.

A beautifully designed site detailing all manner of torture devices. Oh, such wicked times!

An excellent collection of the most deranged monarchs to ever rule. Compelling reading!

A thought-provoking essay into the history of the popular 19th century art of funerary photography, loaded with numerous sad images.

The Morbid Eccentric
Lovely page from a marvelous morbid eccentric named Cedric. The mailing list is in its infancy but it promises to be a most welcome escape from the doldrums of the modern world. Only Victorian-obsessed, Wilde-loving morbid eccentricity seekers need apply.

Museum Of The Guillotine
A lovely collection of guillotine lore from a woman demented enough to have a working guillotine in her living room... and to claim that she is actually engaged to said guillotine. Now, that's my kind of gal!

The Mutter Museum
What a morbidly fascinating place! A museum of old medical school curiosities such as a mummified fat woman ("The Soap Lady"), skeletons of siamese twins, fetuses in bottles, etc. If ever in the Philadelphia area, a must-see! Now, if only I could afford a trip to Philadelphia...

The Nanjing Massacre
A fascinating chronicle of one of the worst atrocities in history - the Nanjing Massacre of late 1937/early 1938, during which over 300,000 unarmed Chinese civilians were ruthlessly murdered by the Japanese army. Relive the horror through photographs that, although grainy and old, still reveal the sickening darkest side of human nature.

The National Museum of Health & Medicine
A morbidly fascinating museum chock full of such medical goodies as John Wilkes Booth and President Garfield's bullet-riddled spinal columns, giant hairballs removed from stomachs, syphilis-destroyed skulls, old medical equipment, etc. I simply must visit this place asap!!

 

A Social History Of Conjoined Twins
This sight is more odd and fascinating than dark or gruesome, but it is rather morbid to read about the deaths of conjoined twins. Imagine awakening in the middle of the night to find that your "other half" has died... and knowing that death will soon come to claim you too. Very interesting case studies of siamese twinhood.

The Tale Of The Sawney Beanes
The horrifying but true tale of the cannibalistic, incestuous Scottish monsters - the Sawney Beane clan.  Gripping bedtime reading!

The Torture Museum
An excellent overview of different eras, techniques, and reasons for torture. Be sure to look at the Medieval photo gallery for a truly frightening empathic reaction.

Boy, those early Christians were sure picked on, weren't they? And such imaginative methods of torture! Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. View engravings of each of the various torture methods at this fascinating site.

A beautiful site which discusses the abundant historical atrocities of the Witch Hunting era. Be sure to check out "Punishment, Torture and Ordeal" for a truly frightening experience!

The Last Word
A collection of final statements from condemned criminals. Absolutely fascinating... to the bitter end!

Last Words
A collection of famous lasts: last words of fictional and real characters, last stands, wills, and obituaries. A fun read for the morbidly trivial minded.

Really Bad Parents
From the wonderful website The Decline of Civilization: News for the Paranoid comes this disturbing collection of tales of stupid parents and their unfortunate children. Reading this story, I'm reminded of my friend Nikki and her idea of blowguns with contraceptive laced darts. You hide behind a tree and when the stupid people walk by, bullseye! It's worth a thought, don't you think?

Shocking Shopping!

City Morgue Gift Shop
A mirthful collection of gifts for the morbidity enthusiast. I especially loved the shirts: "Always a pallbearer, never a corpse". Indeed!

 

Los Angeles County Coroner's Office Gift Shop
What a marvelous gift shop! Where else can you get such delightful goods as toe tag key chains, body shaped post-its, Black Mariah and LA County Coroner t-shirts, body bags, and a mouse pad that says, "We're Dying For Your Business" on it? Now, where is that Visa card?

Grim Rides Funeral Car Club
The lovely website of a marvelous SF Bay Area based hearse society. I've always wanted to own a hearse... obviously!... and I can fantasize all about it while looking at pictures of all the fabulous hearses here!

Russian Roulette
When the torment of everyday life gets to be too great for your fragile mind to handle, why not give the roulette wheel a spin? You'll feel better believe me.

This is a great site full of documents that you get the feeling you should not be allowed to access... but thank goodness for informants! How else would you get to view Dana Plato's autopsy report, Malcolm X's bullet-riddled diary, a memo detailing the burial at sea of the casket used to transport JFK's body to Washington from Dallas, and Eric Harris' hysterical violent web page ramblings, amongst other morbid and not-so-morbid fascinations.
