Dungeons and Dragons Mimic Chest Dice Storage Box

There’s nothing worse than a mimic chest. You think you’re about to score some sweet loot, but nope, you just get attacked instead. Now I have to roll to see how many teeth the cleric in my party has to remove from my rear.

Designed to look like an unassuming treasure chest from the outside (that’s how they get you!), this is the $39 Mimic Chest Dice Storage Box crafted and sold by Etsy shop ConjurerCoShop. The toothy box can hold up to four sets of polyhedral dice and includes a lock and key so nobody can roll your dice behind your back.

As far as dice storage boxes go, this is a really nice one and I think it would certainly add to a Dungeons and Dragons gaming experience. For reference, my current dice storage box is a quart-size Ziploc bag. Does it also have my lunch in it? Yes, yes it does.

Classic Monster Ornaments Are Perfect for Your Nightmare Before Christmas

Halloween isn’t even here yet, and I’m already starting to see Christmas products show up in stores. I think if you’re going to start buying Christmas items in October, I think you should be able to get some use out of them sooner than the end of November. These monster-themed Christmas ornaments should do the trick.

Novelty product maker Archie McPhee is selling this set of three spooky glass holiday ornaments, based on three classic horror characters. The set includes Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, and The Wolfman, and would look equally at home at a Halloween get-together or a Christmas party. Heck, hang them up all year long and just change the colors on your christmas tree lights to go with whatever your current theme is. Why can’t we have monsters for Easter and Valentines’ Day too?

The set of three ornaments will set you back $24.95 over at Archie McPhee. If you’re looking to make a really scary Halloween tree, you might want to grab some eyeball ornaments while you’re at it.

Monsters Meet Vintage Matchboxes

Vintage matchbook art has a unique style all its own, but as cool as it is, we all know that it is lacking something. It needs more monsters! That’s why Austin, Texas illustrator Chet Phillips has created a special series of matchbox art.

This series of vintage matchbox inspired illustrations feature a variety of monsters from movies and mythology. I don’t know about you, but I only trust Cthulhu Safety matches for all of my fire needs.

If you like what you see (and why wouldn’t you?), you can get signed prints from Chet’s Etsy store. Or T-shirts from TeePublic. Too bad we can’t get them on actual matchboxes.

You Can’t Look Away from These Horribly Disgusting Smartphone Cases

If you’re looking for something disgusting and gruesome for your phone, look no further. Try not to lose your lunch or run away screaming. Artist Morgan Loebel has over 20 years of experience as a dental lab technician, sculpting realistic replacement teeth, so that probably explains how he can create these creepy, monstrous and hideous phone covers. Look away. Just look away.

Each hand-sculpted polymer clay phone cover features a twisted and disgusting monster. They are full of realistic looking eyes, teeth and drooling tongues, and have a disgustingly wet looking sheen to them.
