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.

Check out this insane music box powered by 2,000 marbles

The brainchild of Swedish musician Martin Molin, the Wintergartan Marble Machine , is a bizarre music box that allows the user to play tunes using a hand crank and 2,000 steel marbles. The Rube Goldberg'esque contraption features a vibraphone, bass, drums, cymbals and other instruments that play a score programmed into a 32 bar loop comprised of LEGO Technic parts. It's mesmerizing, and you can watch how they built it over here . [h/t: MailOnline ]

Of birds and tats

Larry Bird really doesn't like that mural of him which featured the three-time NBA MVP in a blue Indiana State jersey with tattoos all over his body. "The Great White Hope" is now trying to get it altered, and had his reps reach out to graffiti and street artist Jules Muck to do so. As WISH reports , soon after Jules completed the piece, she was contacted by Larry's lawyer asking her to do something about it, "citing unauthorized promotional value to her brand" and to the six trademarks owned by the 62-year-old former Celtics star. Larry's issue with the artwork was the tarnishing of his image and his 'brand' by affixing tats to his face, arms and neck. Jules meanwhile, said she never intended to offend the basketball legend. The image that inspired the mural came from the November 1977 Sports Illustrated cover story in which Larry was referred to as "College Basketball's Secret Weapon."

Oil paintings that look like watercolors

Julian Meagher is an artist from Sydney who paints watercolor effect with oil. His paintings often revolve around Australian masculinity, juxtaposed by pop-culture references. Julian has an interesting back story. He's been a full-time artist for ten years, but prior to this he worked briefly as a doctor. The first few years was tough for him, and there were times he thought he should have sticked with his original profession. "It still feels weird to say I'm an artist," he told The Sydney Morning Herald . "You say that at a dinner party and you get weird looks. People think being an artist is a romantic, alcohol and passion-filled job. But it's not, and the idea of people seeing my work still scares me." Julian is a twice recipient of the New Work Grant from the Australia Council of the Art and has held solo exhibitions across Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Miami and Los Angeles.
