Here’s the scary product of the week. This Spider Mouse would probably be too scary for me to use. I would be terrified that the thing would come back to life and escape. I’m assuming they are dead, but I can’t read Japanese so who knows. Can you imagine your co-workers seeing that on your desk? You can also get it with some other bugs, but I think the spider is the scariest. The spiders or insects are sealed inside a pocket of clear gel to preserve them and then some internal LED lights to light them up and make them even more scary. They apparently sell for only 1,480 yen  which is about $15. Pretty cheap, but I’m sure shipping from Japan would be pretty high. In case you are reading this Scary Hubby I DO NOT want one of these for my birthday.

Once again my favorite store, Pylones, comes through for me. I love the wild and crazy stuff they carry. Everything is so cool and useful. They recently unveiled a bunch of stuff that is coming out soon including this Skull Stapler. I have looked and looked for a neat skull stapler over the years and have never found one that didn’t look homemade. This one is awesome and the brain lid even comes off so you can store things inside. If you’re not a fan of the funky colors it also comes in a more plain, silver version. Either way it’s ridiculously creepy and fun. Just think of all the fun you can have playing with this over the wall of your cubicle. Use him as a puppet and say, “I’m going to eat your brains!” It’s sure to make you a hit in the office. It doesn’t go on sale until March and is going to cost a whopping $49, but who cares? When something is cool, original and doubles as a toy to torture your office mates with it’s worthing slapping down a little extra cash, right? At least that’s the logic I’ll use when Scary Hubby sees the bill.

Are you into headbanger music? Are you a fan of the Headbanger’s Ball on MTV? Well, I’m not, but at one time when the original Headbanger’s Ball was on MTV I was. Now you can have computer speakers that will take your headbanging to a whole new level. These Skull Computer Speakers look like they have been headbanging a few too many times actually. Maybe you should give them a break, let them rest and only play Barry Manilow on them. Or maybe you should let your true nature show and put these two little guys in your cubicle at work. Be proud of your headbanging ways and wear your concert tees with pride in the office. No one will ever mistake you for that preppy prick in accounting again.

I’m not usually the tech geek in the family. I leave that stuff to Scary Hubby. Sometimes though I do come across things that melt our two loves together. This is a Skull USB Drive Necklace. This little guy is great. It’s a USB Flash Drive that holds 2GB of storage and a necklace! Two for the price of one. My big complaint about Flash Drives in general is that I am always losing them. They are so tiny. This one can just go around my neck and it looks just like a regular skull necklace. The little plug in thingy slides out, so there is no cover to lose, which is always a problem too. A lot of these cool little Flash Drives can be pretty pricey, but this one sells for only $22. Obviously at that price it’s not made out of platinum.  It may not be the nicest skull necklace you’ve ever owned, but it is cute and a great idea.

I keep buying new cases for my iPhone. I find one and think it’s the perfect one and then another one comes along that I can’t live without. Now of course I have found the ultimate one and this time I mean it. I’ve never come across a creepy one before, so this one fits my need for everything scary and makes me very happy. It’s the Demon iPhone case made by iDeal Case. It’s made of 100% pure silicone for the 3G/3GS. The case comes in yellow, purple, orange, light blue, green and white which glows in the dark! I love the blue, but I think it was a major mistake not to make it in red. I personally think of red when I think of demons, but who am I? Apparently I know nothing. Anyway it can be had for only $14.99 which is actually really cheap for an iPhone case.

*Update:

Apparently the case is available in red and also black and navy. The glow in the dark version is seperate from the white one. Thanks to Brat for being on top of things, while I continue to be in a fog.

Now this Tattooed Skull Chair is cool! If it wasn’t $4000 I’d already own it. This comes from the Mama-Tried Studios located in Brooklyn and is designed by Scott Campbell owner of Saved Tattoo. It’s actually a leather chair that is hand tattooed and apparently takes just as long to do as tattooing a person. They also offer tattooed leather pillows that might be more in your budget for $125. Check out their website for a bunch of other items as well. One particular item that I am coveting and I might just have to give in to is the laser etched replacement backs for Apple laptops. They cost $200, but they are so awesome and you can bet you won’t see a bunch of them around. There are quite a few designs, but I am particular to the shown below.

Vampires all want to go back to their roots and visit Dracula’s Castle, or should I say Bran Castle, in Transylvania, Romania. Nothing strange about that. Unfortunately, travel is not so easy for your run-of-the-mill vampire. We can’t all be rich and live in castles. Some of us have to eke out a living working nights at the local video store and living in an old mausoleum. In case you didn’t know, video store clerks don’t make that much. Anyway, I am here to help all of you lowly vampires who do not have the sort of life where you can travel and visit your homeland. Now you can take a 360 tour of Bran Castle on your computer. That is if you can even afford that.

Okay, who doesn’t love a good computer gadget? This one is just too cool. This little RayD8 USB Flash Drive from Mimobot comes with a whole background story attached to him as apparently a lot of their gadgets do and…wait for it…they do Star Wars Flash Drives, too. Designed by Dino Alberto, this little guy continues the Mimobot back story of a refugee alien race of silicon robots stricken with amnesia, on an Earth mission to restore their lost minds. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to store your data on the unwitting time-traveler to help him generate the memergy necessary to synthesize another electro-time-bolt and bring him back to his own little spot in the chronosphere. Sounds easy enough, right? So, get out there and help him already!

I found these three little skeleton computer toppers for $20.99 that are a takeoff of the famous Japanese monkeys, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. With those on top of your computer there are basically no witnesses to the many things we all do online. Just think if the Queen of all things pastel, Martha Stewart had had them on her computer instead of that stupid cat she might never have been caught and gone to jail. Cats are notorious blabblers I’ve heard, not mine though. Of course then I would not have been able to experience the happiest day of my life, so maybe it was a good thing. Is that too much to pay to have a little peace of mind that no one will ever find out your secrets?

Ahoy there, me hearties! I be a Mac. If you be a PC then walk the plank! Unless you are a semi-Mac and have an iPhone or iPod then you can stay. So, who doesn’t love pirates? Especially the good old Jolly Roger (skull and crossbones) flag or in this case they are called Jobby Roger in honor of Steve Jobs. Now you can turn your little Apple icon into a Apple and Crossbones! There is a small little site that makes a sticker crossbones to add to the bottom of your Apple symbol. They make a small selection of bones for the various Mac products in your life. For $2.50 plus $2 shipping you can get any one of the sizes. I have them for all of my Mac products!
