Chocolate Human Skulls

So, I found this featured on Fab over the weekend, and if they we're so expensive, they would be my Christmas gift to everyone this year.  These skulls from Cannibal Confections are cast from a mold of a real human skull, and they looks awesomely realistic.

They come in dark, milk, and white chocolate, and are $375.00 right now to order on the website.  They were cheaper on Fab this weekend, but still a little out of my price range for a food item.

DIY Dexter Blood Spatter Nails

Awesome for Halloween or to celebrate the Dexter season premier that aired last night on Showtime, these DIY blood spatter nails are on my list as my next nail art project.  All you need is a straw, some red and white nail polish, and tape (only if you don't want red polish blown all over your fingers).  Check out the full tutorial at Refinery29.

So here's how mine actually turned out when I did them:

Honestly, when I first saw the tutorial, I wasn't 100% positive about doing it to my own nails, but now that I have, every time I look at my nails I get a Halloween boner.  The tutorial worked perfectly, too.  I used a slightly thinner straw (almost a coffee stirrer), and I think it made more detailed splatters.  I used the tape, and I'm glad I did.  The tape didn't take nearly as long as I initially feared, and it definitely helped with some of the mess that would have been on my fingers.  The tape didn't stop all the nail polish from getting on my skin, but a qtip dipped in polish remover got rid of it easily.  Overall, I love it.

DIY Meat Head

Since Halloween is coming, I want to share this insanely awesome to the max DIY meat head.  It's perfect because it's edible, it's disgusting looking, and it probably attracts flies.  I am literally making one for myself as I type this, because I love it so much. You can make your own if you can handle all the awesomeness radiating from the meat when you're done.  It might be too hot to handle.  You're going to need a human skull, pickled onions, Jell-O, olives, toothpicks, and plastic wrap.  If you're having trouble finding a human skull, then you're a pussy, but you can use a plastic skull, if you must...I recommend The Skeleton Store in Skokie, IL for all of your human skeletal needs.  Check out step-by-step Meat Head instructions at Make Projects.

Boo Straws

 Halloween is absolutely my favorite holiday.  I get to be as creepy as I want to be and it's appropriate to decorate my house with dead things and blood.  Does that sound weird?  Regardless, I'm thinking Halloween, and I'm thinking party.  And of course no party is complete without fancy straws, right?  Well, I came across these scaaary straws at NeatoShop, and I pretty much have to have them.
