Here are some of the scariest Funko Pops for your collection

Kids play with them, while adults prefer to show them off in adjustable shelves — inside their boxes. It's no secret Funko POP! figures have become one of the hottest pop culture collectibles worldwide. The company has secured product licenses for just about every game, comic book, music, TV and film distributor. To say that there's something for everyone is an understatement.

It's easy to own a Funko because a lot of them are relatively inexpensive. If you look at their website you will notice that you can get some cool stuff for under $12. But new collectors be warned: collecting Pops is very addictive, and it's important to decide what kind of collector you want to be. Do you intend to keep all of your figurines? Or you think you might be interested in trading and selling? Whatever you choose, you have to start somewhere.

To get you started I bring you some of the creepiest Funko Pops that horror fans can't get enough of (because Halloween is fast approaching).


The Nemesis, Resident Evil

Forget Pennywise. Just one look at this overpowering monster is enough to give you nightmares. Named after the Greek goddess of divine retribution, the Nemesis is extremely intelligent and has impressive tracking skills. Oh, and did I mention that he's got a rocket-propelled grenade strapped to his shoulder?

Ahmanet, The Mummy (2017)

A seductive ancient Egyptian royalty who uses dark magic. As a mortal, Ahmanet was a beautiful, clever and ruthless princess. But after meddling with witchcraft and sealing a deal with an evil deity, she became more sinister. Most notable supernatural power: creating sandstorms.


Pinhead, Hellraiser

Like many of the horror villains, Pinhead was once human. He was born Elliott Spencer around the early 1900's and was an explorer of carnal desires. He solved the Lament Configuration (a mysterious puzzle box) and was transformed into a leather-clad maniac. Why is he terrifying? Aside from his looks, Pinhead abducts people and tortures them in Hell.


Regan, The Exorcist

No one can forget the head-spinning, upside-down-walking, projectile-vomiting performance of Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist. And, after nearly five decades, the William Friedkin-directed film is still making people's spines tingle.


Ghostface, Scream

Like other wicked serial killers, Ghostface doesn't have special abilities. His weapon of choice is an eight-inch hunting knife, and he uses a voice changer to hide his true identity. Scream was a huge box office success in 1996 and the black-and-white mask has since become one of the most popular Halloween costumes of all time.


Mr. Barron, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

He's the shapeshifting leader of the Wights and Hollows — and he likes to feast on human eyeballs. He can also turn his right arm into any weapon of his choice, such as blades and axes. Barron and his ass-kissers hunt Peculiars and eat their eyes to recover human form.


Jason Voorhees (Unmasked), Friday the 13th

Here's Jason, without his hockey mask. Need I say more?

White Walker, Game of Thrones

White Walkers are scary as hell. They have superhuman strength and they're willing to kill anyone who gets in their way. Also known as the Others, White Walkers are resistant to normal weapons. Vulnerable only to  dragonglass and Valyrian steel, their most notable trait is their glowing blue eyes.

The Work of Mauricio Paz Viola

Self-taught Uruguayan artist Mauricio Ezequiel Paz Viola has a knack for blending shapes and colors in striking combinations to create abstract forms with an exciting curiosity surging through them. His style has evolved from realism, landscape and portraits in his youth to surrealism and expressionism. Since his arrival in Chile in 2008, he started to focus on abstract expressionism. Take a look at some of his colour-intensive, multi-layered paintings below, and don't forget to visit his website for an endless amount of inspiration. Artist statement: I would define my artwork as a manifestation of self, an extension of my spirit or sub-consciousness, which is still beyond my grasp and lies at the deepest sphere of pure self. In particular, I try to minimize intellectual inclinations when I create to prevent the ego, the fictitious self from intervening, and hence my works are the most loyal reflections of who I am (dreamer, fantasy-prone, sensitive, sexual and a bit dark ...

Eric van Straaten's 3D-Printed Statuettes

I can't remember when I first became entranced with Eric van Straaten 's 3D-printed sculptures. I think I stumbled onto his work through tumblr when I was searching for new artists to follow. Eric's attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the image of the eroticized child-woman is familiar throughout his work. Most of his hyper surreal pieces are 3D-printed in sandstone material, which are created by laying down a thin layer of gypsum powder and using a binding agent and color inks to print a pattern onto it. Once the entire model is printed, it is withdrawn from the print bed and the excess powder is removed. The model is then sealed and ready for display. "I think that the girls I create in my work are visualizations of my own feelings, fantasies and thoughts," the Dutch artist explains. "The girls actually look like someone I (used to) know and the different ‘portraits’ tell something about what I think of myself in regards to her or women ...
