AAAAAGGGHH! What's wrong with this girl's face and neck?!
Oh I see, she's sporting a horrifyingly good body paint that makes her look like Venom's little sister.
It's amazing what a good paint job, and the proper attitude, can do to raise the scary factor on Halloween.
If you decide to dress up like Jack Nicholson's character Jack Torrance in The Shining keep this in mind- you don't need the whole door to pull off a look of pure madness.
In fact, using only a bit of the door, like the bit around your maniacally smiling face, makes you look even crazier!
The folks at Nerd Bastards may be *ahem* total bastards when it comes to reporting on the world of geekdom, but when it's time to put together a sweet Halloween mix tape they've got the goods!
This ain't no five versions of the Monster Mash kinda mix tape neither, this one's full of rockin' good tunes like Alice Cooper's He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) and Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures singin' Honky Tonk Halloween.
It's enough to loosen up even the most uptight mummies and get them to go out and shake the dust off their bones!
The Cylons aren't completely devoid of compassion, in fact I've heard that if you set a pumpkin carved to look like one of their own on your porch, complete with scanning LED light eye, they'll take pity on your puny human household and leave you alone...for a while anyway.
Since it's better to be safe than sorry you'd better take a look at this fun DIY Cylon pumpkin project by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and appeal to the Cylon sense of vanity, for the good of all mankind!
Each year the Transworld Halloween & Haunt Show displays the latest in horrifying props and costumes for Halloween stores and haunted attractions. The best prop builders in the biz gather under one roof for four days of March mayhem each year in St. Louis, Missouri.
Here's a taste of what was on display at this year's show, showcasing the cutting edge in frightfully fun decor and all those custom made creatures that go bump in the night.
The puppet gang from Glove and Boots want to give you the 101 on zombies with a video entitled Zombie University.
It's rated PG for puppet gore, and features some totally sweet special effects and a special guest zombie puppet who's falling to pieces for the sake of entertainment.

Do you have a Barbie hungry ghoul at your house who is also a fan of Halloween?
Then Mattel has just answered their nightmares dreams with the release of Ghost Barbie, part of the collectible Haunted Beauty series.
She's a little pricey (around $100), but can you really put a price on Barbie's afterlife?

Have you ever wanted to dress up as one of those cool stonefaced statues on Easter Island? Who hasn't?!
Here's an Instructable by msraynsford that will show you how easy it is to make one of these fabulous big head masks this Halloween. And don't worry, it only looks like it weighs a ton...
Your child(ren) may be too young to have seen the movies and TV shows these costumes are based on, but that doesn't mean they can't dress for the sake of adult amusement and still have fun trick-or-treating.
But be forewarned- if your kids start dressing all Jersey Shore and like it, you may have a spray tan orange kid with an attitude on your hands!
Can't Beat Em, Join Em isn't a show full of art created by zombies, as cool as that would be, but rather a show where artists like Jared Wright, Sam Ho and Ryan Milner show off their colorfully gory zombie themed works of art to ravenous art lovers.
The show is being held at the Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, New York where fans of the undead will be gathering in flocks and discussing which internal organs go best with a dry Pinot Noir.
Is this video ridiculously silly? Yes. Full of cheap effects? Absolutely. Nonsensical? You betcha. Totally unnecessary? But of course. Halloween themed? Kinda. But as one YouTube commentor points out about Michael Myers after Halloween "at least he mows the lawn".

Can't find a hand mold? Why not check out the Heart and Brain molds we have for sale in our very own Neatoshop.
