Cool Halloween Stuff No. 4

FX FACES FOAM LATEX PROSTHETICS

Now these are some great Halloween looks!

LOVE ZOMBIES?

Our newest concept in prosthetics! This layered prosthetic has 16 mini magnets that are embedded within the foam latex and reinforced with Powernet material. The magnets hold the outer foam appliance in place over the lower appliance. You can rip off your face revealing the nasty muscle layer beneath! Then replace the outer face to do it again!

The FX FACES RIP OFF ZOMBIE includes:
* Two unpainted soft foam latex prosthetics
* One plastic vacuform face for pre-painting
and storage
* One instructional booklet

Boneyard FX is a manufacturer of Hollywood grade prosthetics. These aren't "masks", you don't strap these on over your face. No, these come as raw latex, and require some work from you to get the ready. But because of that, no two will be quite the same. You choose the colors to paint them, so you can give the skin a deathly grey look, or a sickly green.

They have plenty of tips on how to apply the prosthetics, how to paint them, and a full line of supplies to prepare the prosthetics and apply them. Best of all, they aren't horrendously expensive. The one shown here is one of the more elaborate and expensive pieces, and it only runs about $100. Most of the pieces run in the $50 range.

So if you're looking for a truly scary look this Halloween - check out the folks at Boneyard FX

Cool Halloween Stuff No. 3

Vampire Teeth
From the folks who brought you Billy Bob Teeth, these vampire teeth Are designed to sit right over your existing teeth.

Billy Bob Teeth are super realistic teeth made with the same acrylics used in making dentures.

Designed by a dentist.

One size fits all adults. HOW? Our teeth are held in place with putty you install yourself for a custom fit. This allows you to talk and fool anyone.

Not only do they have teeth, but styling headpieces as well. Check out the selections of mullets! Business in front, party in the back!

While you can find a lot of this stuff in stores, you can also order direct, so you can choose just the freaky teeth you need!

Cool Halloween Stuff No. 2

Coffin Couches


This is as Halloween as it gets...

We at Coffincouches.com have the mindset of thinking "Green" and we know it is different but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch. If you notice (although it may be too small) the six cast iron heavy duty legs are embossed with the universal biohazard insignia. The reason we utilize this sign is because safety is our utmost concern. If you are not aware, once a human body is placed in a coffin it is considered biohazard tissue. The legs have the embossed insignia for precautionary reasons in the event body fluids are exchanged on these coffins. Perhaps you would feel safe knowing that you are in designated biohazard scene!

These things aren't cheap. At about $3,500 a pop, you need some serious cash to grab one of these. But if you're looking for a real Halloween look, it's hard to knock furniture made from coffins...

Cool Halloween Stuff #1

In a former life, I used to source new products for an online and mail order cataloger. One of the more fun parts of the year was in the early spring, when the new Halloween stuff would come out.

I decided that this year, I would post some of the stuff I found, and let folks see some of the great Halloween stuff that is available.

The first place to look is Alchemy Gothic, a manufacturer and wholesaler of pewter, alternative fashion jewelry, pewter giftware and genre-defining designer lifestyle products".

If you're into some interesting Halloween wear, you might want to check out their website. You'll find stuff like bat earrings, pewter goblets, and rings like the one here, which has a secret compartment. It doesn't appear they sell direct to the public, but they do have a search function so you can find a reseller near you.

One Day More...

For those with a theatrical bent...

Les Mis as you might not have imagined...



I just wish they would have done the marching in place...

The Next Paul Potts?

America's Got Talent has started its new season, and it sure looks like they've found the next incredible voice. Neil Boyd is an insurance salesman with a love for his mom, and a voice that not only hits the notes, but delivers a passion that cuts through to your heart.

I have a real soft spot for Nessun Dorma from Turandot when it is sung well. The final three lines - "Vincero, Vincero, Vincero" - are a declaration that the Prince will be victorious and win Turandot's heart. And at the same time, when done well, the singer captures our hearts. The emotion that comes through can bring tears.

Enjoy!

A Blast From The Past

This ad from the 80s cracked me up. It features John Cleese doing an ad for Compaq and making a rather odd product comparison. This particular model was called a "portable" - which most folks later called a "luggable". At 22 lbs., this was not what you'd call a laptop!

Of note is the "massive" 4 MB of storage. I think my ballpoint pens have more memory.

Also classic - the "miles away" line. Cleese made a number of training and advertising films in the 80s, and this is a classic example.
