Octopus + Purse = Octopurse

Posted on 05/01/2020 by Paul Strauss

With their big brains, eight tentacles, and lots of suckers, octopi are pretty amazing animals. But like most things with more than four legs, they can also look quite weird. If you think it would be cool to hang out with an octopus all the time, check out this crazy looking bag.

Designed and crafted by Russia’s KruKru Studio, the octopus purse has eight bendy tentacles embellished with rivets instead of suckers. You can store your wallet, keys, and other small items inside of its bulbous head. Maybe toss a few crustaceans in there since you never know when your pet cephalopod might get hungry. Otherwise, you could end up in a situation like this:

The weird and wild octopurse sells for $245 over on Etsy. It’s made from real leather, and each one is made to order in red, black, orange, blue, or purple. I think a purple octopus purse would look pretty sweet.

The Baby Head Theremin Is the Stuff of Nightmares

Posted on 04/12/2019 by Paul Strauss

Are you sleeping too well? Well, let’s change that right now. The only thing creepier than the decapitated bald head of a doll is one with light-up red eyeballs, and that makes all kinds of haunting sounds when you get near it.

What you’re looking at – and about to listen to – is a custom built photo-theremin that emits those weird and wild sci-fi noises when you place your hand above its head.

The Worst Things for Sale points out that you can actually buy one of these things over on Amazon if you really want to. The XLPC Photo Theremin is available with a baby doll head, an alien head, a skull head, or in a slightly less creepy standalone version.

This Creepy LEGO Spider Mech is Made from Minifig Bodies

Posted on 06/11/2019 by Paul Strauss

Do you like creepy, crawly stuff? Then this LEGO construction should give you quite the thrill, as it’s about as gnarly looking as anything we’ve ever seen built from bricks. This awesomely creepy black widow mech was created by LEGO artist Markus Rollbühler, who put it together for Creations for Charity, a non-profit organization that raises funds for underprivileged children during the holidays by selling LEGO builds donated by its community. What a great idea!

What I love about this spider bot is how he managed to incorporate the bodies of some minifigs into each of its eight pointy legs, along with a skeleton figure in its see-through red abdomen. The thought of this thing harvesting minifig bodies to augment itself just makes it that much more terrifying.

Be sure to check out more of Markus’ amazing LEGO creations on his Flickr page, and if you’re interested in buying any pieces from Creations for Charity, check out their shop, which opens each year from October 15 to November 30.

These Creepy Purses Have Got Their Eye on You

Posted on 08/10/2019 by Paul Strauss

There are monsters all around us, and they’re hiding in plain sight. It looks like some of them even like hanging out in the women’s accessories department now.

These awesomely creative and creepy clutch purses come from the mind of Breanne of Creature Clutches and The Geekstress. Each one is handmade, and features a single eyeball peering out from beneath its fabric shell. While I dig the big dragon’s eye, the monster ones with the teeth sticking out are my favorites.

We’ve been assured no actual monsters were harmed in the making of these bags. The eyeballs are made from hand-painted glass, while the teeth are made from shells.

You can currently find a few of these clutches over on Breanne’s Etsy shop, with prices ranging from $35 to $75. She also makes some nifty monster dice bags for tabletop RPG fans. Thanks to Technabob friend Mike for the heads up on these amazing creations.

Are your dreams just too pleasant? Sleeping like a baby through the night? Well clearly, you need a little nightmare fuel to help spark your subconscious. This Beetlejuice Sandworm mood light should do the trick just fine.

Even though it’s only 5″ tall, it’ll look way bigger when you open one eyeball in the middle of the night to check the time on your alarm clock. Good luck getting back to sleep.

Give your nightmares the boost they need today! You can grab the Beetlejuice Sandworm mood light from Hot Topic for just $24.90.

Interrogator Cyberpunk Cosplay Helmet Is Seriously Badass

Posted on 07/09/2019 by Paul Strauss

Halloween is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to win every costume party in town, you should head over to Two Horns United’s Etsy shop, and check out their incredible collection of custom-built helmets, costumes, and cosplay accessories.

One of my favorites is this amazing piece of headgear, dubbed “The Interrogator.”

I also might call it “The Intimidator,” because if you saw someone coming at you with this thing on, you’d assume that we’d been invaded by aliens, and they’re coming for us all. Seriously, this thing looks like it just walked over from the set of a Neill Blomkamp movie.

The helmet was handcrafted from EVA foam, but the artist did a great job painting all the pieces to make them look like weathered metal. The foam construction means it’s lightweight and comfortable to wear. I also love the LED lighting effects – those really help to bring the character to life.

If you’ve got $1150 to spend on the ultimate costume, head on over to Etsy now. While you’re there, be sure to check out the rest of Two Horns United’s other amazing designs.

When Your Pikachu Goes Bad It Becomes Infectachu

Posted on 02/09/2019 by Paul Strauss

These creepy collectible figures answer the question: “What happens when your Pokémon gets really sick?” Apparently, its skin color changes, and becomes semi-transparent, allowing you to see its skeletal structure inside. Delightful!

Custom toymaker Scott Wilkowski is the mad mind behind these awesomely weird figures, inspired by Pikachu and Meowth. Both designs feature a double-cast design, with a terrifying skeleton inside, wrapped in a colorful see-through skin. While you could go for something bright like pink or purple, I prefer the yellow/black combo as it looks the sickliest.

The Meowthski figure is available from Scott’s website for $45, while the Infectachu is available from Woot Bear for $45 to $55. Keep an eye out on his Instagram page for updates, and lots of other disturbing designs.

Furby Centipede Is the Stuff of Nightmares

Posted on 01/09/2019 by Paul Strauss

Let’s face it. For as cute as Furbies were supposed to be, more often than not, they’re kind of creepy. People have done some really crazy stuff with these electronic pets over the years, from slicing in two with a waterjet, to turning them into an insane musical instrument. Now, somebody has gone and turned the Furby into a centipede.

Crafter Look_I_Made_A_Hat created this Furbish monstrosity, and it’s quite the nightmare fuel. In the Instructables post “Longify Your Furby,” the professional sushi chef, costume designer, and Furby surgeon walks us through the step-by-step process of tearing open a classic 1990s Furby, and extending its body.

It’s not exactly a simple process, and depending on the type of Furby you choose to perform this operation on, can require its body to be completely skinned and then given a new fur coat. Yeesh.

If you want to longify your own Furby, head on over to Instructables now for the comprehensive build guide. The more feet you include, the more creepy, so keep that in mind when you draw up your design.

Oh, and then there’s this…

Alien Xenomorph Trick-or-Treat Bucket: Now Gimme Some Candy!

Posted on 31/08/2019 by Paul Strauss

Halloween isn’t far off, so it doesn’t hurt to start shopping now before all of the good stuff is sold out. While your kids might already have ideas for costumes, I bet their trick-or-treat pumpkins aren’t being given the slightest thought. Give your kid the coolest candy collector ever with this awesome Alien xenomorph candy bucket from Super7.

While the SuperBuckets Alien Xenomorph would be most at home with a Ripley costume, it’s pretty awesome all on its own, as its creepy alien head and pearly choppers will scare your neighbors into tossing some extra candy into the bucket just to get you off their porch quicker. And I’m not talking about the crummy stuff like Necco wafers, raisins, or those butterscotch hard candies your granny tried to pawn off on you. This scary buckethead will be filled with the good stuff like Tootsie Pops, Reeses, Twix, and Snickers. It’s available from Entertainment Earth for $19.99.

Traumatize Kids from an Early Age with This Freddy Krueger Jack-in-the-Box

Posted on 19/04/2019 by Shane McGlaun

The most reviled toy in the entire toy box at daycare way back in the day was the Jack-in-the-Box. It played creepy music, and you never knew when that clown bastard would pop out. If you have kids and want to scare the crap out of them in a way that a standard Jack-in-the-Box can’t, this is the toy for you.

This is Mezco Toyz’ Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger Burst Box. The metal box has images of that knife-fingered nut Freddy on the outside. Spin the green handle and ol’ Fred will pop out with that snazzy red and green sweater, hat, and mincemeat face.

You can pre-order one now for $42.99 at Entertainment Earth with shipping starting in November 2019.
