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.

Preserved tattoos of the dead

The idea of preserving tattoos after death came into existence long before NAPSA . London's Wellcome Collection has over 300 specimens of preserved human flesh bearing tattoos , collected in the late 19th century. There are many more examples of smaller collections in Paris, Poland, Portugal, Berlin, and Austria. But what fascinates me the most is this lesser-known museum at Tokyo University, the Medical Pathology Museum, which houses pieces of skin collected since 1926 by Dr. Masaichi Fukushi. "Fukushi would perform autopsies on donated cadavers and dissect off just the skin. He created a method of treatment to preserve the skin and kept them stretched in a glass frame, essentially like a leather. Later the ownership of the tattooed skin collection was passed on to Fukushi's son Katsunari. Katsunari added a further 20 tattooed skins himself and it's believed that the Medical Pathology Museum has 105 in its collection, many with full body suits." ...

I normally hate suits but I'll make an exception for this one

Some people like the feel of satin against their skin. Some want to wrap themselves in wool. But how about wearing clothes made from bagels? Food and fashion enthusiasts will be intrigued by this bizarrely awesome, mouth-watering 'Bagel Suit' by self-proclaimed food-fashionista Ishara Jayakody.  From Bon Appétit : The bagel suit took about 100 hours to make, and the wearable version—a vest—took her between 60 and 70 hours. It’s always a long process of experimentation and trial and error, according to Jayakody. "I"ll spray [the food] with different things, leave it out in the sun, put it in the fridge, dissolve it, and so on, until I find something that works," she said. She also goes method on these projects: "When I'm making a bagel dress, all I'm eating is bagels." The process is all-consuming, and between designing and her full-time job, Jayakody doesn't sleep much. The 'Bagel Suit' is not Ishara's first time e...

Acorn-shaped meditation pod

Created by LFZ Studio , this giant acorn in France is a cool space to escape the digital deluge. For some, the wooden pod is a temporary escape from reality. For others, it’s a nice place to take a nap. And for a select few, it’s a nerve-wracking dive into claustrophobia. The pod blends perfectly with the forest and the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds create a natural soundtrack for meditation. In this sanctuary, time seems to slow down, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and nature. |h/t: Design Boom |
