That's right, folks. If you're going up against some serious zombie hordes, your ordinary chainsaw might not do the trick. If that's the case, then why not hook one up to a V8 engine? I mean, just make sure you've got a friend to help you carry the damn thing...

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Wants You To Smell Like The Inside of Neil Gaiman's Mind

'The' Neil Gaiman

Chazzie-award winner Neil Gaiman, known around here simply as "The Neil," has a movie based on his stuff coming out this weekend. Yes, Stardust opens with a big name cast, big special effects, and the hopes and dreams of millions riding on the notion that Hollywood might manage not to fuck up a Gaiman adaptation. Ahem. No pressure*.

Anyway, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (who we've talked about before) is not only an incredible name for a band but also makes "Stardust" and "Good Omens" fragrances.

(Good Omens? By Jove, that sounds familiar...!)

So anyway, they've got five Stardust fragrances, with names like "Fairy Market" and "Yvaine," and the proceeds go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. If you buy the Good Omens fragrances, you not only help the CBLDF but also orangutans. And for the record, these orangutans have nothing to do with comic books to our knowledge and to imply that they wrote Identity Crisis would be an insult to orangutans everywhere. So.

For the full press release, click after the break. For their website, click here.

*--I mean seriously, have you read any of the Sandman movie scripts? You haven't? Good. Don't. One took five months off my life. And not the end of my life, either. I'm talking five months from the middle of 1982. Flat gone.

Octopus Costume for Kids: Go Podlets!

Octopus Costume from Babystyle

While ScottC presented this as a way to dress your kid up as a baby Cthulhu, unfortunately they only come in pink and blue. Surely there would be a way to dye the thing a dark, brackish green, yes? If so, then you would truly have a Great Young One on your hands.

Then you hand the kid a baby bottle that says SOULS on the outside. See? Instant costume to disturb your in-laws with.

I would like to go ahead and say this now: if you have a kid and you dress him (or her!) as something twisted, I want pictures. Send them and I'll post them as part of our usual Halloween mayhem.

Doctor Grordbort's Rayguns From WETA

I swear to Buddha, WETA is going to drive geeks to a life of crime. When we first mentioned these gorgeous works of art, we were bracing ourselves for a massive price tag. But $690? Oh, you vicious bastards, if only they didn't look like they were worth it--that's the truly lethal part of all this.

Check out this informercial:

And if that wasn't bad enough, there's a fourth gun on the horizon: the Victorious Mongoose 1902a.

We can only hope that the upcoming book from Dark Horse will be more up our financial alley. Curses!
