Pink and Black T-Shirt Designs

Sean — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 01:09:38 +0000

I’m a sucker for good uses of pink and black in design, and these t-shirts are no exception. I was initially drawn in by their new Love Bat design, but eventually made my way to the men’s section and found a nice Space Giant I’d like to be friends with.

These designs are created by a company called Strong Like Bull and they have many more to choose from on their site. It looks like they are also the creators of some designs you might have seen in your local Hot Topic called Frankenheart and Johnny Dead. Being the huge zombie fan I am, I’m partial to Johnny Dead who isn’t afraid to admit he’s always been a big fan of nerds. Probably because of their huge … brains.

I found them via Modish who mention that Strong Like Bull uses American Apparel (sweatshop-free, sustainable, high quality) tees although I don’t see that on their website anywhere. Modish also mentions a way to get free shipping when you order from Strong Like Bull. (Hint: just read their post.)

Unearth the Undead

On Halloween night, lawn decorations get the most attention simply because trick-or-treaters have to pass them to get their treats. Low lying fog, eerie colored lights, and spooky sounds are all just accents to your lawn decorations, which are the center of attention to your costumed visitors. My obsession for zombies brings us to an obvious choice for lawn decorations that should bring a scare or smile to anyones masked face.

First up is the Corpse Solar Light that cleverly combines a solar powered lantern held by an undead rising corpse. It rises 17 inches above the ground and requires no extension cord or batteries because it’s solar powered. Leave it out during the day and it will charge itself up to work at night. With that same idea in mind check out the Skeleton Arm Solar Light, which is basically the same, but just a skeleton arm holding a solar powered lamp and no head. Add a creepy tombstone next to either of these to complete the look… more

Zombie Candy Grabber

Looking for a more creative way to pass out candy? You’ve found it! This creepy cardboard zombie display makes trick-or-treaters reach inside the rotting zombie’s guts to get their free treat. I love this idea better than when people leave a big bowl of candy out on their porch because they aren’t home. This way kids can’t tell what they are getting before they reach into the bowl and the good candy gets evenly dispersed. Plus it’s just creepier… more

Zombie Snacks

Sean — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 23:20:40 +0000

In honor of our newest costume page (Zombie Costumes) I’d like to remind all you Halloween party hosts, when filling up your snack table, not to forget about those who eat different than most party goers. Just keep in mind the vegans, zombies, vegan zombies (they eat grains, cumin beans, and Hufu) and others. So lay out a tray with oozy mummy dogs, and another with fresh brains and everyone will be happy… more

Little Spooky String Monsters

Lauren — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 06:32:42 +0000

If given a single piece of string and told to create art, the average person would probably tie some bows, do a spinoff of cat’s cradle, or maybe give up and wind it into a ball. Three architecture students aimed higher and came up with 4 very unique, handmade, little spooky dolls. I’m always drawn to toys or dolls with a creepy, gothic, living dead feel, and I love the simple, raw style of these little guys. They are decorated with satin, felt and bead accents, and are actually made from 1 continuous piece of string… more
