James Cameron’s Aliens didn’t really scare me. The aliens were disgusting, sure, but not scary. I don’t know, I guess I prefer supernatural stuff; there’s just something about sci-fi and the outer space as a setting that ruins it for me.
I mean, I think it’s more likely for me to be possessed and crawl down the stairs like an insane,…

With Halloween just hours away, here’s a great idea for anyone looking for a good last-minute fright.

These blood puddle pillows are just the thing for scaring the crap out of your roommate when they wake up and find you lying there in a pool of red tomorrow morning.

Artist Keetra Dean Dixon made these limited-edition “Great Slumber” pillows a…

I was looking around for an interesting Halloween costume when I came across this awesome 5-person Tetris costume!

The great thing about this costume is that unlike some other group costumes, you would be very recognizable apart or together. The bad thing is that it looks insanely uncomfortable and awkward to haul around all those cardboard boxes. Let’s just say,…

Happy Halloween!

With Halloween just days away, it’s only appropriate that we share in the holiday festivities. So without further adieu, I present the Mario Jack-O-Lantern.

The cool thing about this pumpkin is that you can grab the pattern from Seed of the Zombie Pumpkins! to make your very own plumber-inspired Halloween decoration.
In addition to Mario, Zombie Pumpkins! has designs for…

I’m thinking that this Halloween, I’d like to scare all the neighborhood kids out of their wits with a bunch of these disembodied robo-heads sitting in my front windows.

The brilliantly named “Glowing Scary Deaths-Head Toy” looks like your average, everyday metal-headed, Skeletor-robot-zombie until you flip the switch. Once powered up, the skull lights up with a pair of mighty…
