Nox Arcana

Are you a fan of creepy sound effects?

Then I dearly hope you've heard of Nox Arcana. If not, well, you're hearing of them now!

Remember Joseph Vargo? Well, this is his musical project, though it's actually a mix of music and sound effects--eerie music and creepy sound effects. Nox Arcana (loose latin translation: "Mysteries of the Night") is the result of a partnership between Vargo and William Piotrowski, two musicians who have created something amazing. Get music previews on their website! The music is available for download on Amazon and iTunes as well.

Joseph Vargo

Behold, one of the greatest gothic/horror artists in existence: Joseph Vargo!

Joseph Vargo paints a wide range of scary subjects, from vampires to werewolves to ghosts to zombies. This guy has no limits, and his stuff is CREEPY. If you miss the way vampires "used to be," you should probably check out his work. Nevertheless, his work never looses that sense of "gothic elegance" that I, personally, love to death. Check out his website! Also, buy some prints and other merchandise at Monolith Graphics.

In addition to being an artist, Joseph Vargo is also co-founder of the music/sound effect project Nox Arcana. Nox Arcana produces spooky music and sound effects, and I'll be writing about that soon!

Some of my favorites of his pieces:
