Who knew that standing around motionless and saying nothing on Halloween would scare the living daylights out of the fine folks giving out candy?
The guy in this video found out the fun way, by setting a dummy trick-or-treater on their doorstep and filming the horrified reactions of the people as skeleton boy just stands there.

Have you ever wondered where old movie villains go when they don't die after battling a slew of meddling heroes in a series of sequels?
Well it turns out they end up in retirement homes just like many seniors, except their stay will be a bit more extended...

If you're looking for a particularly creepy, albeit unique, addition to your home then take a look at this remarkable junkyard lantern fish lamp.
It's made from recycled materials, like bike parts, shovels and knives, by Etsy seller Justin LaDoux, a guy who clearly likes home furnishings to be full of that ever elusive wow factor.
The only problem I have with this incredible piece is the price, a whopping $8,000, because spending that kind of money on a lamp seems like a crying shame...
Beauty is one of the luckiest bald eagles alive today, because not only has she survived being shot in the face by poachers, she now sports a very chic, very modern 3d printed beak for her chewing pleasure.
The good folks at the Birds Of Prey Northwest sanctuary never gave up on Beauty, determined to do whatever they can for her instead of resorting to euthanasia.
Here's more on this heartwarming story:
Raptor specialist Jane Fink Cantwell, who dresses like Indiana Jones, refused to take "dead bald eagle" for an answer. She joined forces with mechanical engineer Nate Calvin of Kinetic Engineering Group, and together with other scientists, engineers, and even a dentist, they designed a nylon polymer beak that would perfectly replace Beauty's lost upper mandible.
Calvin developed the new beak using a 3-D modeling program, then used a 3-D printer to fabricate it. After an arduous procedure to attach her prosthetic, Beauty was able to eat, drink, and preen herself on her own.
