Horror Happy Meals Even Come With A Scary Prize

stranger-things

It’s almost Halloween, so there’s no place for Happy Meals, or anything too cheerful. These horror-inspired Happy Meals, by Newt Cloninger-Clements, are scary horror movie and television-inspired versions of the McDonald’s boxed lunch.

Just like a traditional Happy Meal, these horror versions come with a free prize, only scarier. Stranger Things fans would receive a demogorgon, while The Walking Dead comes with a scary Carol doll. No mention how frightening the actual meal inside is — however, it is still McDonald’s, so be afraid.

It’s cereal monster season and, let’s face it, our current mascot trio is getting a bit long in the tooth. So, what if these outdated cereals were rebooted with a few modern-day monsters?

HalloweenCostumes.com is here to provide that visual with Cereal Killers. Imagine strolling the cereal aisle and not being able to decide between Friday The 13th-inspired ‘Machete Mateys,’ ‘Fruity Kruegers,’ or ‘Xenomorph Mallows.’

So, how about it, General Mills? Time for an update? Please keep Fruit Brute though.

Kill The K-Cup, A Short Horror Film About Coffee Pods Destroying The Planet

kill-the-kcup

Keurig single-serve coffee pods were created in the interest of convenience… not necessarily for their taste. We know this because coffee produced from a K-Cup, although quite convenient, tastes like an instant coffee-flavored puddle that’s been repeatedly stepped in.

To add insult to injury, K-Cups are far from eco-friendly, and millions of them are disposed of every year.

Kill The K-Cup is a short film that exposes the coffee pods as the Earth-hating and toxic vessels they are. Although K-Cups’ destruction of the environment is a bit more subtle than the film portrays, the message is clear. And that message is to start brewing your own coffee, or you’ll eventually be crushed by a giant coffee pod-monster. Follow the movement at #killthekcup.

How To Make an Apple That Will Haunt Your Nightmares

Apple-Shrunken-Head-Version-5

If you have a few apples laying around that you’d like to make a bit more horrifying, there’s now a handy tutorial for that.

Submitted by a Reddit member, a shrunken head-type apple is little more than a few razor cuts and a week of scorching summer heat away.

Of course, this same effect can be accomplished in the oven, or traveling back in time to use an actual Shrunken Head Kit.
