Join Skeleton See Saw
What better way to get into the Halloween mood than with a desktop toy to usher in a daily reminder that life is but a moment, and we will soon end up as a bag of bones eventually. The Skeleton Seesaw is a great time waster, although I suspect your attention won’t be held for too long before you relegate this to a corner, letting it gather dust. The Skeleton Seesaw retails for $34.95 a pop, which is rather pricey for something that has no electronics inside.

Wild: Art Lebedev’s Verspertilium clothes peg
Yes, what you see in the picture above is a clothes peg with bat wings. The team at art.lebedev have done a quick, but nevertheless cool one. The challenge was to come up with something before October 31st in time for Halloween. And this is it.
A simple plastic peg, with wings. It’s got quite a bit of the “LOL effect”, I think. And besides that, when hanging upside down it even looks a bit like a bat.
Here’s the official description:
Inexpensive plastic Vespertilium clothes-pegs remind your neighbors that your laundry is Halloween-ready..

Spongebob Squarepants Corded Flip Phone
Now isn’t this a hoot the Spongebob Corded Flip Phone that targets homes that have not yet made the jump to using nothing but cellphones for communication purposes. Whenever Spongebob is hung up, he looks like a miniature statue, but when you flip him open, he is ready to get your message across, presumably using telepathic powers as his brains are exposed then. The numeric keypad is located behind so that it stays out of sight. If you’re interested in this novelty of a house phone, it is readily available for $19.97.
