The trick to McDonald’s Japan’s latest sweet treat involves combining Kit Kat chocolate bars, crushed strawberries and luscious soft ice cream to create the sinfully delicious Kit Kat & Strawberry McFlurry! Boo hoo, it’s only available through the end of October!
Halloween is still a month away, but I think it’s never too early to begin stocking up on ideas for awesome and unique costumes. At least this way, you can avoid dressing up as a slutty whatever if you don’t find anything good at the costume rental shop anymore.
But did you ever think of making up an entire costume by using balloons? Yeah, I figured you didn’t too. But the guys from Balloon Distractions did, and they ended up looking pretty awesome.
They came up with Buzz Lightyear and Ninja Turtle costumes that were put together using twisted-up balloons and the results are nothing short of amazing.
Check out Buzz Lightyear, who can really go to infinity and beyond (until someone comes along to pop his balloons):
And here’s a balloony Michaelangelo who likes to yell, just because he can:

I sleep pretty deeply, but staring at a cold, pale, disembodied hand that holds my smartphone to stop my alarm will probably wake me up almost immediately. This smartphone stand from Harry Allen is supposed to elicit a response from anyone seeing it or touching it inadvertently in the middle of the night.
The iPhone Hand Dock is even wall-mountable for further freak-outs. I guess that it’s an interesting way of keeping your smartphone close, especially if a hand coming out of your wall doesn’t scare you too much. It’s definitely something unique that will please certain people. It’s made out of resin and marble. It was also cast from Harry Allen’s own hand.
This clever, but creepy looking smartphone stand is available from Areaware for $65(USD). You might want to start thinking of ways to incorporate these into your haunted house this October.

If you’re planning a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood in late September, and happen to be a fan of zombies, you will want to check out the awesome Halloween spook stuff that will be going on. Universal Studios Hollywood has announced its Halloween Horror Nights will start on Friday, September 21 and run through October 31. Among the attractions will be some featuring zombies from The Walking Dead.
If you’re a zombie fan, this will be much better than a normal haunted house. One of the attractions is called Terror Tram and will force people to face hordes of Walkers stalking the Universal Studios back lot. The back lot is a rural setting with a small town was devastated by a horrible plane wreck. This time around, Walkers will be moving around the city.
The scary fun will also include a maze filled with Walkers as well. The maze is called “The Walking Dead: Dead Inside” and will force visitors to stumble through Walkers as they try to find a way out of the maze. There will also be a maze called “Welcome to Silent Hill” based on the popular video game franchise.
