One of the regular features here at Fear No Weebles is the Hot Dead Guy/Hot Dead Chick profile. Click on “Hot dead guys” and “Hot dead chicks” in the Tag Cloud for biographical blurbs on everyone featured so far.
Here are the results from our first Hot Dead Guy Sweet 16 Tournament. It was a huge success.
A Hot Dead Chick Sweet 16 is in the works. Stay tuned!

Don’t know if you’ve added him yet or if you will, but how about John Paul Jones 1747-1792? Just a suggestion…love your blog. My favorite so far is Robert Cornelius.
Thank you so much! Actually, it’s funny that you should mention JPJ—he’s on my list for the next round. And Mr. Cornelius is my favorite as well. Clearly you have impeccable taste in men. So glad you visited!
Yeats! Wowsa, and then throw in the poetry… That guy must have gotten all the chicks!
Sorry for just replying now, for some reason I didn’t get notified of this comment. Isn’t Yeats a hottie?? Between the looks and the Irish accent, he must have been a chick magnet.
Not a problem. Oh, and I forgot to tell you I nominated you for an award. I’m not sure if you already have it, but it’s the sunshine award. And I forgot to ask if I could add you to my blogroll? (I’ve already been telling my sister-in-law she needs to check out your blog…)
Yay awards! Thank you so much! And I would love to be on your blogroll, thanks! I’m in the process of putting mine together and it should be up in a few days, may I add you to mine?
Yeah, that’s awesome, thanks!
Note to self: Buy cravat, write poetry, and wait for the honeys to line up. No, wait, one has to be dead first. Note to self: Become zombie, buy cravat …
Well really, you have several options—you can do the poetry/cravat thing, that’s always a winner. But you could become a pilot (chicks dig the flyboys), or wear a Victorian-style suit, those seem to be popular too. And you’re in luck if you become a zombie–I’ll be introducing a new feature called “Zombie Hot”, where people can weigh in on which guys and gals they find so hot that they would do them even if they were a zombie.
Could I nominate Beethoven? I had a strange hot dead guy crush on him some years ago. I thought he was rather dashing with his wild, untamable hair and menacing expressions. I swooned over him many a night whilst listening to Moonlight Sonata.

He does look pretty good in that drawing, doesn’t he. Plus, have you ever read his letter to “Immortal Beloved”? That’s swoon-worthy right there. Okay, Ludwig goes on the list!
LOVE this!
Hahahaha
I’m so glad—stay tuned for more!
I’m glad there’s going to be more. I was slightly anxious about looking at this page in case the photos were post-mortem. Luckily, it was just the right side of wrong which is just the way I like it. More please.
There will be much more, fear not. And welcome.
I think you should definitely add Edwin Booth to the Hot Dead Guys repertoire. Just take a look at him: http://www.articlesweb.org/blog/wp-content/gallery/edwin-booth_1/edwin-booth-10.jpg
I can see the appeal—he has that Victorian thing going on, which I love. For some reason his little brother John Wilkes seemed to get more love from the ladies. Too bad.
Yes, I think he’s much hotter than John Wilkes.
He’s got the Victorian thing, but also in a slightly unkempt sort of way, which just makes it all the better, in my opinion.
Dear Madame,
That Robert Cornelius.
WOW.
The hair, the broody look…..
Isn’t this the guy that has communicated with you?
I need to do some homework on your blog here.
Love, Lis
xoxoox
It may be him, Lisa, hard to know for sure. I like to think it is, because I find it titillating.
Dear Madame,
That may just be one of my favorite words of all time.
Titillating.
I commit to using this word more.
Love, Lis
xoxoox
I’ve got another one for you: Francis Bicknell Carpenter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bicknell_Carpenter/
I came upon that one quite by accident today.
Well hello Mr. Carpenter! He’s a nice-looking gent, isn’t he?
Oops, stupid stray slash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bicknell_Carpenter
Am I crazy, or does Yeats look a little like Montgomery Clift? Just a few of the facial features. And Rupert Brooke looks like Hugh Grant.
I can see a bit of resemblance to Monty—if Monty were wearing glasses and posed in the same position as Yeats in that photo, yeah, there’s a similarity. I definitely agree that Hugh should play Rupert in the movie.
Al, Alexander Hamilton, that is, looks way better in his statue than in his portrait. He was a stud. A short stud, but still.
Hi Elyse, and welcome!! Yeah, Al was indeed a stud. Most guys were short back then, though, so I’ll give him a break. I just wish he didn’t have a preference for dumb broads.
If Hawthorne has defeated Cooper I would have had to lodge a serious protest….
Hello Mr. Cooper and welcome! Obviously Coopers are just a good looking bunch of men, so of course Gary won that round. He didn’t win the whole thing but a WWII pilot is a tough one to beat.
it was more my sheer loathing of The Scarlet Letter that prompted the cheering for my namesake!
I’m with you there—for me it was The House of the Seven Gables. I was ready to blow my head off after reading just the first chapter.
Very nice…
So glad you enjoyed!!
love Sir Francis Drake’s triangular beard – surely the reason he’s included here…
Hello there, SVHN, and welcome to my blog! The gentleman in the portrait you’re referring to is actually John Donne, but now that I think about it, he and Sir Francis Drake do resemble each other, especially in the beard area, don’t they? Thank you so much for visiting, please stop by anytime!
I forgot to ask… who in the hell is Pierce McKeenon?
Click here for more info on our friend Pierce, Ted!

This is doing it for me.
They’re quite nice, aren’t they? I’ve been really bad about introducing new Hot Dead People, I’ll have to start up again soon…
I’d like to be up for consideration when I kick the bucket.
You’re on! Although I hope that won’t be for quite some time, for your sake.
Well, I’m not going to wait around forever.
How did I miss this? I was sure I’ve been here—because it’s one of my favorite posts, ever.
Hi Robin! And now I’m asking myself “How did I miss this comment?” Sorry!!
I prefer the hot dead chicks to be honest and I would love to add Elvira Mistress of the Dark to this array of deliciousness
How do you mean she is not dead yet? Well I know that of course but I would still like to add her just out of pure naughtiness, after all she is downright bloody gorgeous is she not? 
lol
Thank you for adding such a delightful offering
xxx
You’ve got a good point there, my dear sir. And she’s well preserved, isn’t she?? I can appreciate the Hot Dead Chicks but for me the Hot Dead Guys hold much more appeal. I will be adding more of each soon, I’ve been very remiss in updating this collection…
It is funny that you mentioned that as I used to have a category ‘For the Girls’ that I might consider reactivating
lol Of course I will need to know your favourite guys or you might end up with Mr. Bean without the Sean 
lol xxx
I do solemnly swear that I feel you have not near enough hot dead chicks.
You, my dear, are absolutely right. And I plan to rectify that soon, because there are quite a few dead hot ladies I want to introduce to everyone… I’m so glad you stopped by!
As soon as I saw the heading for this, I thought to myself, “I would totally put Hawthorne on this list.” Lo and behold, you had already recognized his beauty. I used to teach high school English, and whenever I would start The Scarlet Letter, I would always mention my little crush…and I usually referred to him as “Hottie Hawthorne.”
Howdy ma’am—I see you and I are kindred spirits. I had no idea how good looking he was as a younger man, I always see portraits of him as an older, mustachioed gentleman–he doesn’t do it for me in those. But in the above portrait? Yowza!!
Wait a second, where is Cary Grant?
My dear sir, fear not. This is but a small, small sampling of the hot dead talent out there. Cary will surely be on this page one day. But you know the old saying: So many hot dead men, so little time.
It’s like you’re reading my brain.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Andrew.
I’ll pour some out for Cary this weekend.
