Halloween is almost here! And a fun thing to do for Halloween is to scare up some treats. The folks over at Just A Pinch have a simple, easily assembled sugary project that’s perfect for the holiday — Vampire Teeth Cookies!

With just 4 very basic ingredients, you can put together these cookies that look so cute and realistic, too! Just get some store-bought chocolate chip cookies (or bake your own if you have the time and inclination), red icing, mini marshmallows, and almond slivers – that’s it!

Watch the video tutorial for these cookies here below.

Geek gals are always looking for cool apparel, especially when it comes to comfortable swimwear. So, here’s some good news: Now, there’s an Evil Dead-inspired Necronomicon bikini that’s supposedly “super comfortable,” according to its makers.

The made-to-order Brazilian-cut silicone bikini, available through Etsy by Bloodlust Productions, is styled after the human flesh-bound Book Of The Dead, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, from Sam Raimi’s original Evil Dead movies.

Check out photos of the bikini being modeled here below (via the product page). You’ll notice that this creation was very strategically designed.
