This Scrap Metal Skull Sculpture Is Making Me Nuts

There’s something about skull art that I find really intriguing. Perhaps it’s that skulls are something that all of us have in common, or it’s just that they remind us of our mortality. I’m really digging this skull sculpture, made from recycled bits of metal.

It was made by the guys at Thailand-based Metal Model House, using scrap metal and a whole boatload of nuts welded together to create its main form. I wish the teeth had a bit more detail, but it’s still a pretty awesome sculpture. I like to imagine that they’re metal dentures he had to get after he drank too much Coca-Cola.

You can find this awesome metal skull over at Metal Model House’s Etsy shop for $259(USD), but if that’s too much for your budget, you can find lots of other cool metal sculptures over there, including a sweet set of metal dinosaur skeletons, and a metal Big Daddy from BioShockIf you buy two or more items from them, you can get 15% off your order too!

Skull Fireplace Logs: S’mores, Anyone?

Have nosey neighbors who like to snoop around your backyard? Why not scare them off by burning these awesome gas fireplace logs which look like charred human skulls?

Myard makes these fantastically gruesome skulls using lava granules, heat-resistant ceramics, and a steel structure underneath. They’re designed for use with natural gas and liquid propane fireplaces, but also work to top off the logs on a wooden fireplace or fire pit. Each one measures about 8 to 9″ high by 6.5 to 7.5″ wide, making it roughly the same size as a real human skull.

They’re available over on Amazon for $50 each – which isn’t exactly cheap – but they’re designed to last for years, so you’ll get years of pleasure watching the skulls of your enemies burn.

Guy Rips Alexa’s Skin and Muscles off, Revealing Only a Talking Skull

Sometimes Amazon’s Alexa gives creepy responses. Just do a Google search. You know how to make it even creepier? By turning Alexa into a talking skull. No, that’s not creepy at all.


Mike McGurrin created this abomination – it’s the virtual assistant you never ever wanted. There’s something about that voice coming from a skull that is just unnerving. The way it tilts its head as it answers. The way the eyes shift. If Hitler had an Alexa in his office, this would be it.

I don’t even want to look at it anymore. Just make it stop. I really don’t need to know what the weather is like, really.
