It’s not quite Halloween yet, but hey, you might need a little bit of time to dress up your site for the big night. Sean recently had a great post covering spooky icons, and in this post I’ve collected some frightening fonts, fearsome vectors, and brutal brushes for Photoshop. OK enough alliteration, on to the goodies!
