More quaint and decidedly spooky retro-items at Wendy McLure's candyboots site.
Candyboots' showcase feature is a collection of 1970 Weight Watcher recipe cards featuring questionable retro-delicacies such as this liver pate en masque. Check out the entire collection.

Rasturbation is free, tho' there is the facility for donations. And there's a lot more to explore at the homokassu site, not least the Kill Everyone Project.
Alternatively, for the more cash-advantaged, you could go here and score your own room-high & -wide tropical scene. Or da Vinci's Last Supper. Or a 10 metre high world map.

And talking of world maps, how well-travelled do you think you are? What % of the world's countries have you seen?
Create your personal visited countries map here. Here's mine:
