Bert Simons created this excellent anatomical papercraft of the muscles of the human skull. Simons calls it an “anatomically incorrect representation,” but it looks pretty damn nifty, incorrect or not.

I’m not quite sure of what city this awesome Darth Vader/Misfits Skull wheatpaste graffiti was found, though we do know it was on Lake Street in some city, somewhere. Although the two are unrelated, it sort of works out great.

Children of the late 70s are going to be really happy with this one.

You really can find anything on eBay. Whether it by Rosie O’Donnell’s used panties or a fricken’ skull modified with steampunk flare.

No word is uttered about who this skull used to belong to, or how it was obtained. But what is made clear is that the skull can be yours for the low, low price of $49 and a possible criminal indictment.

Bricks aren’t the only neat buildables offered by LEGO. The LEGO flame attachments have their own little sub-culture of fandom, as seen through this awesome LEGO Fire Skull built by resident LEGO pyro Billy McGill.

If your friends are more of the death metal-type, they might not be all that impressed with other styles of LEGO modeling. But this skull is a creation fit for the pit of a Slayer concert.

Consider yourself the ultimate Terminator fan? Then you’ll have to prove your allegiance to Arnold by plunking down $180 for the T2 Complete Collector’s Set. What does $180 score you? First off, it gets you a case for all the DVDs that resembles a 14″ bust of the T-800 Terminator’s head, complete with glowing red eyes and sound effects. What? You still need to be convinced? Sheesh. Well it comes with a bunch of different versions on DVD, including Ultimate and Extreme edition. You’ll also get a the Skynet edition on Blu-ray along with digital versions of all the movies and plenty of extras.

Hell, if Skynet attacks at least you’ll have enough DVDs to launch a proper counterattack.

This purple suede skull is called “Vanity” and is one of the many impressive works from designer Natalia Brilli. If you don’t visit her website, who knows what’ll happen. You might wake up with your dick covered in green leather.

Skulls fascinate us. Whether it be skulls made of paper to skulls made of melted cassette tapes, we can never seem to get enough. That’s why we dig Indian artist Subodh Gupta and his art, a lot of which involves recycling old pots and pans from the kitchen. For the Frieze art fair in London, he assembled a load of old kitchen utensils and forged this bodacious skull just in time for Halloween.

Look at that kid in the pic. He’s afraid to touch it. What a pansy. Man, if it’s that effective at in sighting fear in to the hearts of children, this is one decoration I could totally use for my front lawn.

Either I’m on some awesome drugs that I don’t know about or the Russian artists who designed this oversized iPod are. OK, I just gave myself a blood test; I’m sober. That means that both Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgin are out of their skulls for crafting this large, warped, fully-functional iPod.

It looks like they put a giant iPod in a brick oven then, once it was well done, connected some 500 XL speakers to it. I can’t imagine the purpose of this thing besides a conversation piece while you shout over the loud music coming through it. That is, if you can get around the tiring effort you’d have to put forth while simply looking for a song. Count me out.

Personally, I’ve never heard of Emek nor seen his work before today. I must say, I am very impressed with not only the style that he works with but the intricate details he adds to his pieces. He’s been doing posters and illustration for over 20 years and has worked with everyone from the Pixies to Audioslave to Cold. As you can see, the human body, especially the skull, is a centerpiece for his work. Releasing an average of only 300 posters per event, Emek’s works are highly sought after by both art collectors and fans alike. Check out more of his work after the jump.

Need that extra flair to add spunk to your upcoming Halloween bash in two months? How about a flying skull that, once attached to the ceiling, will fly in circles as it chomps away at the air. It’s on clearance for a measly $6, so now is a better time than ever to snag one for your party. It’ll go great with a garden zombie and a bloody Wii that’ll complete the “spooktacular” look you go for every October.

This thing looks oddly familiar, though. Where have I seen it before? Oh! It’s from Nightmare On Elm Street for the Nintendo. When you fall asleep the bats turn into flying skulls, just like this one! Hit the jump to see what I mean.
