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.

Sayaka Ganz creates amazing art menagerie from discarded plastics

I could never get enough of Sayaka Ganz . The Japanese-born artist saves the planet from plastic, at the same time creates brilliant animal sculptures. Raised under the Japanese philosophy of Shintoism, she hopes to bring greater awareness to the condition of our environment through her art. When creating sculptures, Sayaka organizes the reclaimed plastic objects into color groups, constructs a wire frame, and then carefully attaches the fragments of waste until she creates the shape she has envisioned. Her work has been exhibited in many places around the globe, among them Parma, Tokyo, Denver, New York, and San Francisco to name a few.

Urs Fischer creates candle sculpture of Leonardo DiCaprio and his parents

Some sculptures are built from stone and are meant to be as permanent as possible. Others are made to be deliberately short-lived, like this monumental art piece by Urs Fisher . His latest wax figure, Leo (George & Irmelin) , depicts Leonardo DiCaprio with his parents. Presented at the Gagosian Gallery, Paris , the sculpture is composed of a double portrait of the Hollywood actor. One portrays him talking to his dad, who is standing separately, and the other—which is linked to the first like a conjoined twin—portrays him hugging his mom, both of them smiling. The Swiss artist began to create candle sculptures in the early 2000s. Last year, he made a larger-than-life-size wax figure depicting Russian art collector and founder of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, Dasha Zhukova. As with all of Fischer's candle sculptures, Leo (George & Irmelin) will melt slowly over the course of the exhibition, a poetic and visual reminder of the mortality we all mus...
