umm...how about you look around.  ;)
www.acidfonts.com

I am sure you can find a similer looking font(better then nothing).

Well, if what you want to spell is made of characters from the picture, I suppose you could just cut and paste the letters.  

Other than that, you'll have to hunt for the font.

Looks like a classic horror font. Shouldn't be too difficult to find. Got too many other things to do, though. Don't have time to help find one tonight.
