"Bloody Brain Shooters"
Apparently the key to creating “brain tissue” is to mix acidic lime juice with the vodka. Then when you add the Bailey’s Irish Cream via a straw, it curdles into cortical gyri. A splash of grenadine provides the blood. The ingredient list and instructions are at Folkinz. Via Found Here.
You will need a couple of these if you plan to eat any of Jill’s brain cake…

Brain Cake Is Scary, But Tasty
This brain cake looks terrifying, but the process to create it is pretty cool. The brain folds are simply made of frosting and the blood is only food coloring. I think a simple way to make things even more delicious would be to used a raspberry puree in place of food coloring.

Humans Skulls Recreated in Chocolate
To me these solid chocolate skulls are an example of both confectionary making and art. They are cast from REAL human skulls and come in a choice of chocolate including Fair Trade 80 per cent cocoa. There is also their bone chocolate – blended Belgian milk and white chocolates, resembling the colour of freshly cleaned human bones.

Top Ten Weirdest Halloween Handouts
Candy is dandy, but some folks aren’t prepared for trick-or-treaters (or else they’re just mean). We all know the neighborhood dentist who gives out toothbrushes instead of candy. Here’s a selection of alternative “treats” people have been known to disappoint trick-or-treaters with on Halloween.
8. Condiments and Cutlery
Probably from bachelor types who forgot it was Halloween – answered the door because they thought it was the pizza guy – and then mined their condiment stash so as not to disappoint. Though little containers of peanut butter and jam are passable, plastic packs of soya sauce, ketchup, relish, mustard, and plastic fork and knife sets really don’t do the trick for a treat!

Regrettable Halloween Costumes
Did you ever have one of those Halloweens where your costume fell way short of awesome? I sure did. I was going to be a killer robot.
I had two boxes, a large one for my body, and a smaller one for my head. I cut armholes in the big one and a hole in the top, where the other box went. I painted the whole thing orange, and cut out eye holes. About fifteen minutes after leaving the house, I realized the total and devastating failure of my endeavor, and returned home a sad, orange robot disgrace.
I know there are other stories out there that beg sharing, like Susan’s as told to Lemondrop, among other confessions:
My brother and I dressed up as George and Martha Washington one year. (My Dad was a big history buff.) Yup, it was incredibly nerdy. And also kind of funny that I was about a foot taller than “George Washington.” (pictured, above).
More terrible costume stories at their site, but since I confessed, it’s your turn! What costume idea of yours turned out to be less than you’d hoped for?

The Rovin’ Pumpkin
You may recall the Dalek Pumpkin from 2006, the Snap-o-Lantern from 2007, and the Dark Detecting Jack-o-Lantern from 2008. The fertile minds at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories have announced their Halloween pumpkin project for 2009, and it’s a winner!
The Rovin’ Pumpkin’ is a simple robotic pumpkin, and a close cousin of the Snap-O-Lantern. Silently, it sits on your porch– camouflaged amongst the humble squashes.
After a minute, its green eyes start to glow, and it creeps… moving about one foot to the left… and stops. The eyes go dark again. It fades into the darkness. And it waits.
After several minutes and several steps, it reverses direction, and begins to creep the other way. Hopefully before it falls off of your porch.
The Rovin’ Pumpkin is made from Lego parts, a small motor, LEDs for eyes, and a pumpkin. Instructions and a video are included in the article. Link

Vampire Wedding
The Rockin’-R-Ranch in Columbia Township, Ohio hosts a haunted house and conducts haunted hayrides during October. This year, they also hosted a vampire wedding! Jack Holsinger was carried in a coffin to the alter where he met his bride Connie Spitznagel. Both were dressed as vampires. The best man appeared as pirate Jack Sparrow and the maid of honor was decked out as the Bride of Frankenstein.
Minister Greg Kopp got into the spirit of things as well. The couple vowed to love each other, haunt with each other and howl at the moon together till the end of time.
They promised to forsake all other ghouls and goblins and grow in love and “other body parts” until – you guessed – death parts them.
Instead of a first kiss, Holsinger was ordered to bite his new bride on the neck.
Many of the wedding guests were also dressed as vampires or other Halloween characters. Patrons of the haunted house were welcomed to the wedding as well. Link -via YesButNoButYes

Delectable But Deadly Cupcakes
Craftster user Lethargic made these back in October for the season premiere of Dexter, but other clever Craftsters immediately came up with lots of other uses for them (divorce party). The actual cake is red velvet (my favorite, yum) with butter cream icing tinted to look like a skin tone, and the little knives are made out of piped white chocolate. Genius.
And Crafter member Choleblack made these simple yet brilliant cupcakes for Halloween. You could also use them for a Twilight party (not my thing, but have at it if it’s yours) or a True Blood premiere party. Or just for fun if you’re kind of creepy like me.

Ghostbuster Proton Packs for Halloween

For Halloween, Sterling Ely built himself and friends a set of Ghostbuster proton packs out of foam. Silly strings substitute for real proton discharge, and I’m sure that Sterling remembered not to cross the stream to avoid total protonic reversal.

The Best Iron Man Halloween Costume EVAR!
Whoa! This is awesome: when his son wanted an Iron Man suit for Halloween, Enrique of LinuxNerd blog decided that he’s going to build the ultimate Iron Man costume.
So he spent two months modding a store-bought costume to include:
* Repulsor Air – Blows air with CO2 air pump on hip and hose back to his hand.
* Repulsor Missile – Using CO2 air pump can also launch a paper missile.
* Repulsor Sensor/Light – A magnetic switch sensor lights his repulsor hand light and fades out and in his glowing eyes. Arduino handles this effect.
* Arc Reactor – A LED night light from Costco embedded in his chest. [...]
It rocks to have a geeky dad! Check out the video clip here: Link – via Gizmodo
