Tentacle Attack Bookends Perfect for H.P. Lovecraft Books

I have a recurring nightmare about being attacked by some sort of creature with too many legs. I’m not sure if it’s from playing too many FPSes, or from reading about Cthulhu. Heck, maybe it’s from visiting the aquarium. Who knows. But if you’re not afraid to have some tentacles hanging around your bookshelf, then you’ll definitely want to check out these bookends.

They’re made by Knob Creek Metal Arts, and feature a cutout of a woman being abducted by some sort of creepy tentacled beast – I’m going with a Kraken, but it definitely could be Cthulhu, or just some sort of giant octopus. Or maybe a septapus. Maybe it’s just Squiddly Diddly.

Each pair of Tentacle Attack bookends is handmade from steel, and sells for $43(USD). Grab a pair now, before the tentacles grab you instead.


Cthulhu Bodysuit Will Have You Running in Sheer Terror

It’s amazing how things with tentacles can range from cute, to disgusting to creepy. Cthulhu and his tentacle-face definitely falls into that last bucket.

DIYer AlextheMovieGeek created this incredible hand-built Cthulhu costume this past Halloween. The imposing winged creature would definitely have scared up a huge bucket of candy at every house along the trick-or-treat route. This thing looks like the demented love child of The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth thinking about those two getting it on.

Alex created this dark masterpiece by building numerous plaster molds of his body, then hand-sculpting clay over them and pouring latex into the molds. The head was made using an entirely clay sculpted mold over a styrofoam head form. In order to increase his height, Alex built some short stilts to jack himself up too. He managed to make the entire thing for under $300, but his time and effort were clearly the main expense.

Check out the video below for more on the time-consuming and painstaking build process for this incredibly creepy costume:

The winged, tentacled demon beast with beady yellow eyes is the perfect fashion accessory for an evening out with friends. It’s funny that its creator, Razorblade Cupcake refers to the plush evening bag as “adorable.” That’s the first time I’ve heard that word used to describe Cthulhu.
