Dark Humor
Some may think the popularity of dark humor was made available with the onset of silent films. Vampires, Ed Wood, etc. But Dark Humor is a long established media.
Here are samples of dark humor:

| Dark humor and curious history |

| More dark humor in Victorian times |
Proving people had a sense of humor even back then!
ReplyDelete"Hey, honey, when I said I wanted your head on my lap..." Oh, my, you made me laugh out loud this morning, Susan!
ReplyDeleteGosh....people actually found humour in that?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Lizzie Borden? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizzie_Borden)
ReplyDeleteYou forgot about her, right? Oh, well.
Blessings and Bear hugs!
I love dark humor - dark humor is better than no humor at all :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they had dark humor like that in Victorian times!
ReplyDeletehaha dark humor can sure be fun. Heads up!

I wonder what we'll see under Trick or Photography. Or Ingenious.
ReplyDeleteThis was fun.
I'm all for dark humor, admittedly though, my 7 year old son came over as I pulled up this post, and he says the pictures are just scary. Oops. Dark humor is definitely only for adults.
ReplyDeleteNow they really can put their heads together
ReplyDeleteLosing my head over these.
ReplyDeleteMuch of my humour lives on the dark side - so I loved these. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow! I had no idea people were doing things like that when photography was so young. The couple with the man holding his wife's head... I bet they were a hoot!
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I didn't know they were so much into headless figures.
ReplyDeleteI love these!! Dark humor is my favorite and I can't get enough of the Addams Family and similarly themed shows and books.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Great post, Susan. That last pic, the smiling face of the dead woman, is creepy, as it should be. Dark humor is always good.
ReplyDeleteYou went headless, Susan. What can we look forward to as you go down the alphabet?
ReplyDeleteHi human, Susan,
ReplyDeleteThought I'd head over to your site. Love dark humour and I wont put my neck on the line.

Rather a good way to check the back of your head, to be sure your hair is sitting properly.
