I don’t know what scares me more—the fact that knives like these exist or the fact that they are cheap enough for just about any lunatic to purchase. At under $40, we can only hope that the blades go dull super fast. Additional versions available after the break.
When two tea lights in the center of the Mathmos candle are lit, the heat energy produced by the flame rises to the top and spins small, angled blades. The blades are connected to a series of skeletal horsemen cutouts that move without being touched—creeping out all who gaze upon it.

The Jumping Man Scale features a graphic that gives you the impression that you are standing on the edge of a tall building. Seems fitting when you think about it. For many of us, stepping on to a scale is like stepping off the edge of a cliff anyway.

According to the product website, if you pony up £8.95 ($18.63), they will send a recipient of your choosing “the dirtiest, smelliest, crusty y-fronts we have in stock; full with a delightful aroma.”
Imagine getting paid to box up a bunch of skid mark ridden tighty-whities to send to some poor bastard as a gag gift. Now that’s a racket.

Even I have to pat myself on the back when I find a gem like this. The Crapper is everything Nerd Approved is about —novelty, electronics, humor, and poop. Using the included controller, you can command the skeleton to motion both arms and blurt out a message of your choice through his chattering jaws. Plus, the toilet is made of real ceramic filled with realistic looking shit for that special added touch.

Is that a dashboard on your bedside table? Looking like a speedometer, tachometer and maybe an oil gauge, you can add a little bit of an automotive flair. Be aware, though, that waking up and seeing a dashboard in front of you could scare the hell out of you every morning.

Shocking reason #1. The Jolt electric chair prop just looks creepy. Lots of attention to detail.
Shocking reason #2. Flip a switch and you will hear and electrical wind up followed by an intense thrashing by the victim. In fact, the thrashing is so violent that you will have to chain or bolt the chair down.
Shocking reason #3. The price. $1795 plus $595 for shipping. Damn.
If you want to take Halloween to the max this year, and I do mean the MAX, consider picking up the Corridor of Corpses Deluxe Pneumatic Pkg. Here’s what you get (from the website):

Every inch of every wall panel is detailed with 3-dimensional skeletal polyfoam characters and stone work. Everywhere you look motorized Zombiette characters have come alive and are embedded into the very walls. As you walk thru pneumatic scares attack you from every angle.

Word on the street is that this thing costs about $12,000 for the whole lot, but you have the option to customize the attraction to fit your floorspace or budget.
Zombie Zack is described as “the cutest little zombie baby you have ever seen,” and with a face like that, who could argue? Zack’s head and mouth are fully controllable via an opening in the back of his neck, so you have everything you need to start the creepiest ventriloquist act in town.
