Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve never been a fan of garden gnomes, honestly they are little disconcerting. I always had the sense that they’re watching me and is waiting for nightfall when they’ll creep into the house and stuff Tic-Tacs up my nose until I suffocate. For some reason I don’t find these zombie garden gnomes nearly as creepy as the regular ones – go figure.

These would be perfect decorating your garden for Halloween. ThinkGeek has four different zombie garden gnome styles including the survivor, zombie, rising, and evil versions. Each individual zombie garden gnome is between nine and 11.4-inches tall and made from resin.

The only exception is the zombie version (the one with the blue outfit), which is actually made from terracotta.

I particularly like the survivor gnome because he has a machine gun and it says “Say hello to my little friend” underneath. The gnomes sell for $19.99(USD) each, or you can get the survivor and zombie version in a bundle for $29.99. We’ve seen some other zombie gnomes in the past, but ThinkGeek has machine guns (plus they’re cheaper.)

Going back to school is an annual affair for many children who have the privilege of an education, and sometimes, that is the place where they learn about stuff such as peer pressure. Sometimes, they might even come home and tug at your shirt, asking you to buy them the latest pencil case or backpack. Perhaps it is time you indulged your little one for once, after all, how many years do you have with them before they fly away from the nest? Here is where the $39.99 Zombie Animated Backpack delivers a humorous take on what is normally approached with fear and trepidation.

The backpack will not only feature enough nooks and crannies to stash away your little one’s books and other kinds of knick knacks, but it will also boast of its fair share of features. Snot the Zombie will live up to his name, dripping snot straight from his nose, while you can also control him with but a push of a button, making all sorts of funny faces to elicit laughter from the rest of the class. Some of the facial movements include rolling his eyes around and being able to gurgle some zombie noises. Powered by a trio of AA batteries, it might eventually be banned from classrooms as it should provide more of a distraction than anything else.

Tired of princess and puppy dog costumes? Why not dress up your baby in some scary threads this Halloween? Sure, it’s still more than a month away, but it’s better to have a costume all prepared than rush around and buy a really crappy one when you realize that you didn’t have time to make one yourself after all.

What’s a better costume for your baby than an undead one? Zombies are all the rage these days, so why not let your baby get in on the action?

Stephanie Davidson was on the hunt for a zombie costume for babies that would make them appear to be creepy, crawling torso-only zombie and decided to make her own when she couldn’t find it. She decided to share the joy of transforming babies into the crawling dead and launched a Kickstarter campaign called Zombabiez.

That’s essentially what these adorable-looking zombie costumes are called. Each one is made using child-safe materials and has a bunch of colorful innards and hanging organs that babies will probably have a lot of fun grabbing and chewing on.

You can check out Zombabiez here. A minimum pledge of $60(USD) will get you a Zombabiez costume for your little one, just in time for Halloween.

Being mentally and physically prepared for the zombie apocalypse is only half the battle. You have to remember the right things to include in your bug-out bag. This Zombie Apocalypse Charm Bracelet will help you to remember the essentials.

It includes everything you need to survive – stuff like: an axe, bullets, a gun, matches, canned peaches, a grenade, pliers, a compass and much more. You can find this bit of survival jewelry at PlayBox’s Etsy shop and pre-order one for $32(USD).

Yes, it is fashionable, but it could save your life too. Be prepared! Don’t be caught in a Zombie infested wasteland without it. Remember these items!

With all of the away missions that the Star Trek captains have been on, I’m surprised that none of them have been bitten by zombies. Well, that may not have happened on the shows, but now you can see what each captain would have looked like as the undead, thanks to these cookies.

Here we have Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Archer cookies all zombified and craving the brains of their crew. One can only imagine the panic that would take place on a Federation starship under siege by a zombie horde.

These awesomely horrifying cookies were made by the blogger behind Food Replicator, a Star Trek cuisine blog, last Halloween. I also love that they look kind of like South Park characters – and how Picard is holding his own head – it’s the zombie equivalent of the Facepalm.
