Dave Vanian’s distress at being trapped in this dank, narrow corridor comes through clearly in this stark documentary photograph.  These gentle creatures often suffer needlessly due to home- and business-owners’ carelessness.  Save a goth’s life today: thoroughly block ingress to all alleys, passages, and tunnels on your property with sturdy high-grade chickenwire or chain-link fencing!

You’re doing God’s work, my friends. Bless you!

Just don’t walk around with exposed necks with that one.

What is that Sisters of Mercy bassist always looking at?

Perfect gif is perfect

“Yes, yes… find the Vampire! Kill it! I’m carrying a torch, you see, so I am an angry villager as well… and not the Vampire.”

Making fool-proof plans for escaping the murderous grasp of the local townsfolk.

ta da!

WRONG!

Dave Vanian is a wanna be Jim Morrison, who is a wanna be Elvis, who was a wanna be Gospel singer.

And now you’ve been down the rabbit hole.

“DEAL WITH IT!”

The commentary from gorgonetta is perfect.

Goth skill: Ruining lives across oceans and decades.

The internet has obliterated me.

I’ve become obsolete!!

hierophilic:

no serious Dave looks like a pissed off cat in the video for “anything” while on the spinny table thing. he literally looks like a confused, pissed off cat.
Now with a gif example:

Goths are like confused, pissed off cats. Well done.
