Halloween

Been looking for the perfect Halloween costume...for your shotgun? I don't think Dragon's Breath Powder (also known as Lycopodium Powder) promotes itself as the ideal filling for 12-gauge ammo, but there's clearly no...

This looks like a good way to get punched in the face. Actually, a disturbingly realistic intruder prop hung in the bedroom doorway as a special treat for my girlfriend looks like a good way to punched in a lot of places...

Happy Freak Night, kids! Or, if bone-chilling masks and gory body parts aren't your thing, Happy Tame & Friendly Halloween! Do you know that yesterday someone who owns a child told me his kid's school allows Halloween...

Do your kids keep pestering you to get a dog? Then set up Bones here in their bedroom one night. And just as they settle in, as you've shut the door and headed back to the couch--flick!--on goes the timer controlling...

It's October, which means Halloween is coming, which means it's the one time of year you don't have to be re-enacting an 80s music video to use a fog machine in your home. (Not that re-enacting an 80s music video isn't...

These Peep n' Peepers flashing eyes Halloween lights aren't very scary, but I think they're the right amount of scary for trick-or-treating kids you don't want to watch cry hysterically or have a screaming meltdown at...

Zero Toys has got all markets cornered with its Smoke Ring Blaster. Kids. Halloween. Office shenanigans. And one that never would have occurred to me until I saw the above video: golden retrievers. I'm loath to admit...

You might not be able to flip it back on at Christmas like the Illuminator light projector, but Gemmy's Fire & Ice spotlight is about half the cost for twice the evil. Its orange LEDs shine through a crystallized dome...

Smiley, spooky, glow-y, and eco-friendly to boot. This optical illusion 3D Skull Light is USB-powered and fitted with LED bulbs able to burn in a spectrum of colors that blaze through an intricate grid of laser-cut acrylic...

Is there a word for when something is equal parts disturbing and smokin' hot? That's what I'd like to call the image of this lady wearing Dragon Spikes. Their mutant effect is remarkable, somewhere between mythical miracle...

Although this Jabba the Hutt looks more huggable than creepy, I still think he wins the Halloween Inflatable Lawn Ornament Contest for 2015. He's way cooler than a smiley 12' spider, and on par with the Peeping Creeper...

Whoa. Enter Sandman. I wonder how many days I would be banished to the couch if I left this screaming man traveling through time, space, and pillow case for my girlfriend to find when she goes to bed tonight. I think...

Of course, of course Portlandia is the Craig's List source for a giant rideable T-Rex bike. I can smell Burning Man 2014 and self-entitled cries of "Share the road!" bellowing through major downtown arterials all over...

Who to thank for the Incredible Melting Mandles? Their maniacal waxen faces dripping like blood-soaked flesh and pooling into amoebic nothingness when held to a flame? According to Etsy shop Stexe, "skilled US labor."...

This dude's been to hell...or at least 6 feet closer to it...and back. He needs a drink to ease his mind. And also to wash down the brains he's about to extract from your head. The Elixir of the Undead Zombie Wine Bottle...

Like all the best girls, this Crazy Bonez skeleton stands around 5' tall and holds whatever pose you tell it to for maximal visual enjoyment and after-dark fun...

While candy can at times transcend the Forces of good and evil, as with the Yoda candy bowl holder, it's mostly all evil. That's why the majority of the Star Wars characters doling out Halloween treats are from the Dark...

Oh boy, it's time to start shelling out your hard-earned cash for a hard-earned night of reckless abandon, mad debauchery, mass sugar and alcohol consumption, and sitting front and center at the Parade of Hot Slutty Girl...

Even though the Shetland Sheepdog wearing this Bantha dog costume looks paralyzed with fear and has his tail planted so firmly between his legs it's probably corking his bunghole, I'm pretty sure he likes it. Right, Gingerbread?...

Does it get any better than scaring the Pringles and PBR out of my friend Cornelius by hanging up a fake creeper in a hoodie staring into his living room window at night? Not really. They call this peeping Tom simulation...

Vader pumpkin. Not only does it look better than any squash I could carve, but making one will take me about 45 seconds instead of 3 hours. Though I do like the idea of spray painting the Darth Vader pumpkin black and...

Here's a blast from Halloween past. And not just OG, circa 1978 Michael Meyers, OG 2.0, circa 1998 Michael Meyers too. Remember when they released the Halloween H20 remake to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary? And...

Good news for men itching for superpowers but hesitant to accept the body-suctioning spandex--and in this case noxious spider bite--that often accompanies them. The Marvel Electronic Spidey-Sense T-Shirt grants a heightened...

Poor Thing. Someone lit him on fire and in the absence of a mouth, or thumb and forefinger that can reach the top of his wrist, it looks like he's doomed to burn. If you give him a few minutes I hear blood will start...
