Boring but Sensible Gifts

Posted in: Today's Chili

Face it. Not every gift is a revolutionary product. Yet I think we have all been in that situation where we get something totally practical and proceed to use it (and think of the gift-er) for years. So why not take a sensible approach to gift giving?

The Scary Mary Haunted Mirror – If Looks Could Kill

Posted in: Today's Chili

The folks over at the hauntersdepot.com offer you The Scary Mary Haunted Mirror. Did you ever play the game as a kid? (standing at the mirror in the dark chanting “Scary Mary” waiting for her to appear?) Well, now you can be assured that she will, not just for you, but for your unsuspecting guests. The mirror, while stylish and ornate graces your wall innocently enough until activated by time or even more effectively, by pressure sensitive switch mat, then stand back and watch the fun as your everyday mirror slowly transforms and then suddenly startles with a horrifying, screaming, and most certainly scary, Mary. Please don’t miss the video of Mary in action here.

The Scary Mary Mirror is pretty easy to hang, and the kit includes a low profile wall mount so the special effect won’t be spoiled with an extra thick frame or a pesky false cabinet. The mirror system is 40 inches tall and 28 inches wide and comes fully equipped and operational with an LCD panel, DVD player (complete with HDMI cable), the wall mount, and a nifty portrait light to call attention to your little friend. The switch mat, or optional remote is sold separately and don’t feel as though you’re stuck with Mary forever, the routine can be changed, with several different options, including Killer Clowns! Of course quality horrors like Mary don’t come cheap, and the price tag on this one may be enough of a scare for you for a long time. The Scary Mary Mirror starts at around 1700 bucks at hauntersdepot.com. Ask yourself this though, can you really put a price on one of your best pals screaming like a 6 year old girl? I don’t think so.

SpookyShadowcasters – Phantom Friends for Halloween

Posted in: Today's Chili

Its time to decorate our homes for Halloween, soon we’ll be treat collecting and apple bobbing and enjoying our hand carved pumpkins and several assorted colors of candy corn. Some folks go all out, with cobwebs and tombstones and other-worldly body parts unearthing themselves on front lawns everywhere, but some of us enjoy a more subtle approach to our Halloween decor.

Check out Zombie Shadowcasters, a deceivingly small Halloween item, this simple tea light candle holder with laser cut mahogany plywood silouhuettes of, you guessed it, zombies… these may be all you need to set a haunting mood this holiday season. Using the glow of the tea light (and depending how far you place the boys from the wall) these zombie shadows will move and flicker in almost life size splendor on your walls or curtains, allowing you to experience all the glee of a zombie apocalypse without any of the fear of instantaneous death, or the inconvenience of having your brains eaten. Get yours at geekgems.com for only 15 bucks.

If battery operated entertainment is more your style, you can haunt your surroundings quickly and easily with the Spooky Shadows Light, this frosted rotating dome turns slowly, casting shadows of flying witches, arched back cats, and barren trees all around the room, giving you that elegant cemetery-feel without the need to carve anything, or deface your paneling. Can you imagine the fun of replacing your child’s trusted Disney nightlight with swirling witches and moons. Priceless. Available from spirithalloween.com for under 20 bucks.

Spooky Shower Curtain

Posted in: Today's Chili

Sometimes walking into the bathroom is scary enough, but this Halloween maybe you want to give the most used room in your house that little extra something, and what kind of a haunt would be more fitting than having a bathroom update that calls to mind one of the most memorable (and frightening) bathroom seems of all time… no, not the one involving your best friend the morning after your bachelor party, I’m talking about the shower scene from the movie Psycho…

Check out the Man with Knife Shower Curtain with Sound. Sure it’s not the most imaginative name for the item, but I guess it will have to suffice. This 70″ by 70″ motion activated shower curtain will most certainly put you in the mood for a blood “bath” as it plays the sounds from the movie Psycho including the Psycho theme, tension building back music and terrorizing screaming. What more could you ask for?

The shower curtain is made of plastic, is both sound and motion activated and it has a battery pouch at the top to keep the 2 AA batteries high and dry. So if you’d like to get your bathroom in on the Halloween fun, visit costumes4less.com to get yours, for only around 25 bucks.
