What I'm looking for at Gothic Temptations

I would love for Gothic Temptations to be the meeting place for the darker lenses that Squidoo has to offer.

I'd like to see your Vampire lenses, Horror movie lenses, Gothic music lenses, any lenses that are Gothic or Medieval in nature, Horror author lenses, your favorite frightening books, fantasy artists, and any of your darkly strange and haunted lenses.

When submitting your dark offerings, please keep in mind that Squidoo is a family oriented site and this group is for dark, not dirty, lenses so please don't submit any adult lenses. Anything I find distasteful will be quietly swept away.

If you aren't sure if your lens fits this group, please send it along anyway and let me be the judge.

Gothic Temptations Group Members Please Note

I'm pleased to announce that the Gothic Temptations group is growing like a fungus.

I know many of you have been waiting quite a while to see your lenses featured. I beg your forgiveness and greatly appreciate your patience in this matter. I manually approve, read, and rate, all lenses submitted to Gothic Temptations which takes a bit more time but also ensures the quality of lenses that appear here.

Thank you for understanding!

Fresh Blood

Our newest Temptresses and Tempters. Please welcome them with a visit to one of their lenses.
