This thing was made by model maker Neil Taylor (aka Faustus70), who is also responsible for some equally great steampunk weapons I told you guys about before. Neil made this metal skull by riveting together sheets of aluminum – and added in some brass teeth to complete its visage. It really looks does look like an authentic human skull – if humans had metal endoskeletons, that is.

This unique skull is selling for $100(USD), which I think is actually a good deal, given the amount of labor that must have gone into it. If you want people to think you defeated the Terminator, head on over to Etsy now and buy it.

But it is still an awesome homage to the dark lord of the Diablo games. Is it still considered a gingerbread house if it’s a skull? I guess that doesn’t matter. This gingerbread skull will eat other gingerbread houses for breakfast, belch and grow larger, until it encompasses everything gingerbread in this world.

The controller is modeled after the traditional garb of a Samurai warrior, but underneath this fighter’s mask is a scary Skeletor head, complete with glowing green LED eyeballs. Now I didn’t have the patience to read the entire Wikipedia entry on Samurai warriors, but I don’t remember the part about glowing green LED eyes. Leave us a comment if you happen to find that part.

The warrior controller does all of the usual stuff – it’s got dual digital/analog sticks, a D-Pad, shoulder buttons, has vibration feedback and works with the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, or any PC using a USB connection. Of course there’s that little part about how you’ll be left with painful red indentations of snake-dragons on your palms and creepy little faces on your thumbs after 60 minutes with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, but that’s the price you pay for having a cool looking controller with glowing green LED eyes, right?

You can grab a Samurai warrior joypad over at USB Geek for $25 (USD). Personally, I prefer this guy with the mask on. He’s not so scary anymore.

That’s the Third Eye camera. Belger says that he made it “to study the beauty of decay.” It’s made of Aluminium, Titanium, Brass, Silver, and gem stones. And a 150 year old skull of a 13 year old girl.

Next up we have the Untouchable. Belger used it to take pictures of people suffering from HIV. Like the Third Eye, the Untouchable is made of several metals, plus HIV positive blood. The uh, blood serves as his red filter. Can’t make this stuff up.

The last camera that I’m sharing with you isn’t on the blogbits list; it’s called the Heart. Belger says that he designed it to take pictures of pregnant women who are at least 8 months pregnant, as well as to study his “relationship” with his twin brother, who unfortunately died at birth. So of course the camera is made of Aluminium, Titanium, Acrylic, Formaldehyde and an infant human heart.

Those of you who know their Photography may have deduced from the pictures that Belger’s creations are all pinhole cameras. Belger says that he prefers pinhole photography because of the unadulterated interaction between the camera and the subject. He designs his cameras with this same goal in mind, of wanting to study and relate to his subject.

Check out Belger’s site for more of his wonderfully weird artwork, along with sample photographs taken using each camera; read Belger’s statement regarding his work if you want to get a better grasp of his art. Me, I think I’m going to have to watch SpongeBob or something, or I might have trouble sleeping.

That is some serious mouse–not for the faint of heart (or those looking for something ergonomic!). It’s a sheep skull, by the way, and Mavrov assures us that it was a natural death, not a modder-with-a-hammer kind of death. See? He’s a nice guy.

Who makes computer peripherals out of skulls. Oh, and brass. Brass is innocent enough.

I have to say, the skull does make for a fine-looking pointing device.

I think the skull is scarier when the handset is lifted off its face. You can buy your own Thriller Skull Phone at Brando’s online store for only $25 (USD).

Modder DFW Monkie, the same guy who brought us this creepy alligator Xbox 360, has outdone himself this time with his new Gears 360.

The case features an intricate sculptural Gears of War logo, complete with a skull and gear that glows in an ominous red light up when the console is on.

He built this custom case using lots and lots of layers of Bondo, and painstakingly hand sculpting it before coating it in a deep black paint job to make it look nearly as imposing as the first time you ever ran into a Berserker.

When the Red Rings of Death fire up on this console, it’s actually a good thing.

These skulls may look olde and crusty(e?), but they’re actually powered speakers you can hook up to your computer or media player. Adding to the eerie effect, they emit an ominous blue glow from inside their skull cavities when powered on.

So don’t be a landlubber, and get ye down to GeekStuff4U and pick up a pair. While you’re at it, be sure to pick up the matching webcam.

The skull and crossbones automaton clock has a mechanical moving jaw, and snakes that dart out of its eyeballs. The Watchismo Times describes it best:

“During the first minute, the skull’s expression seems to smile, the second minute it seems to laugh, the next appears to scream and finally, the jaws snap shut, as if the skull were trying to bite something. At the same time, one of the snakes slowly sinks back down into one of the eye sockets, while the other slowly comes out of the other eye, before retracting suddenly, as the first snake again springs out from its eye-socket.”

I guess you shouldn’t put your fingers in the mouth of this thing if you want to keep them.

The gilded brass clock was built in 1610 by Nicolaus Schmidt der Junger in Augsberg, Germany and recently sold for $135,000. I guess I won’t be able to have this in my haunted house this Halloween.

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 evil looking red eyeballs, sure to give your haunted house visitors a fright.

The cool thing is that they’re only $2.85 each, so you could easily buy a hundred of these things and have your very own freaky skull army. Cool.
