This motorcycle helmet is currently out of stock, which is ok, because I currently do not own (nor do I know how to ride) a motorcycle, which means I would end up wearing it as I walk to the train each morning, and people might make fun of me, and possibly beat me up, which could hurt.
This dental lab specializes in "dental tattoos," which are actually custom hand-painted crowns. Each piece costs between $75 and $500. I'd love to see them do some spookier work. Perhaps a skull or bat. Or for that matter, they could probably do a really good Freddy Kreuger or Jason Voorhees.
I've gotta get me one of them hairless cats! They look great posed next to a grouping of skulls.
Designed by English-born architect Jacob Wrey Mould in the mid-1800's, this carving can be found on the Bethesda Terrace (overlooking Bethesda Fountain) in New York's Central Park. "Mould chose representative wildlife and seasonal design motifs. There are also carvings symbolic of day: a rising sun, a crowing cock. Night is represented by a lamp
and book, a bat and owl, and a witch flying over a Jack-o'-lantern."
This image accompanied a 10 year old article from The Onion. I wish I could source the original photo. Was this a Halloween display the homeowners created, or did they paint that image on the tent before fumigating?

Artist Hyungkoo Lee wants to show the world what cartoon characters look like underneath the feathers and fur. Here you see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny.
As a lenticular collector and Halloween lover, I was thrilled to discover these Universal Monster Flicker Stickers. Released in 1992, there are six different lenticulars, featuring Frankenstein, his bride, Wolfman, Mummy, Dracula and the Creature. Each one "flickers" between serious and goofy images.
This Haunted Mansion collector found this in-store display 20 years ago. It was part of some Disney Halloween vhs display stand. Looks great.







Artist Michael Pucciarelli (aka "Pooch") was "raised on a diet of Ray Harryhausen films, H. P. Lovecraft novels, comics, Walt Disney World and other Florida tourist traps. He paints images that seem to exist in a bizarre afterlife. His art is a visual cocktail of these influences—with a shot of lowbrow culture—shaken and stirred, then served up in a souvenir tiki skull on the Day of the Dead. A self-taught artist, he owes much of his painting skills to over ten years of daily tattooing and drawing."
Surprisingly, the Consumer Product Safety Commission still hasn't recalled these items.
