i guess if i were design a halloween candy i would have a rat and when u squeezed it a blood like jelly would come out

Tim (Guest) on 09/14/2007 11:22 am

What about Candy Kanes? Candy shaped like the WWE superstar Kane. He was supposed to be scary if my addled memory serves me. They could come in both masked and unmasked varieties :P ... Does he even still 'wrestle' anymore?

Honestly I doubt I will have time to check out a Halloween store though, my busy season is late summer/fall and I am usually too slammed with work and too tired to get out much. However, my girlfriend may drag me to one. I used to get to them every year with a few friends though. Good times.

matty (Guest) on 09/14/2007 12:08 pm

I want them to start marketing those cool Day of the Dead candy people make in Mexico. You know those extremely elaborate sugar skulls filled with red goop? That would rock.

I've already been to the local halloween shop in Lisbon, CT. Parts were cool (there were some pretty cool, yet horrifically expensive decorations, and an awesome Cthulhu mask that I want so badly I think I might sell my second born for it. Not my first born though, because I'm too attached), but for the most part it was a let down. 99% of the adult costumes were either Sexy Blanks or Hi-Lariously Funny Stupid Pieces of Shit. There is a cool line of zombie prom costumes though, but seriously, zombie prom requires a trip to the salvation army, not the halloween shop!

I'm checking out center stage, which is the premier costume shop in this college city. Hell, the ower of the shop is a magician, A FREAKIN' MAGICIAN. That is what really sold me the last time I got my costume there, he even went around doing gorey tricks for people as they shopped.

I'm looking for a pith hat for my costume, at that zoo thing I told you about. They want me to be the...the...hunter from Jumanji, I'm gonna wax up and handlebar my moustache!

Fish head, fish heads, rolly polly fish head, eat them up, yum.

Beff (Guest) on 09/14/2007 6:14 pm

I'm checking out to see if the spirit store is open yet so i can start drooling over the dismemebered goodness and gore, yeah! :]

love this season

doctor dumbass (Guest) on 09/14/2007 6:55 pm

how about a marzipan Burger King head?

Spooky (Guest) on 09/14/2007 9:37 pm

They're gummy zombies, and they come with an acid powder which would just be sugar powder with that stuff that would make it fizz in water, and somehow they melt into little candy bones.

"gummy flesh melters", maybe?

Aks (Guest) on 09/15/2007 12:41 am

3-d Jack o' Lantern sugar cookies with orange and black sugary frosting. Mmmm...

And as for halloween shopping, I'm going to go to Johnny Brock's Dungeon. Usually at first it kind of sucks but as it goes on, It gets better and better. It's not up yet, but when it is Spartan stuff for me!

Maybe. I have no idea what I'm going as.

Liz (Guest) on 09/15/2007 3:25 am

Candy wise....I'm not sure. I do kinda remember making a Jello version of a Scab for a Haunted House wrap party one year....and it was pretty tasty.

As for Halloween stores...this year I've been blessed with three shops. I've already checked out Halloween USA and Spirit for costume ideas. Hopefully I'll go to Halloween Express this weekend and get more great ideas for costumes.

Jen (Guest) on 09/15/2007 4:24 am

We don't have halloween shops over here in the UK >.

Jen (Guest) on 09/15/2007 4:24 am

We don't have halloween shops over here in the UK ,much to my annoyance. We've only just started getting things like mini fog machines and stuff in our supermarkets.
The UK is crap like that.
I quite like those lollipops that are filled with like, edible fake blood, or goo. Or the ones with little insects inside. Those are nice.

adam martin (Guest) on 09/15/2007 10:28 am

I'd make one of those spinning sucker candy/toys but have the actual sucker look like the girl from exorcist.

I’mStan (Guest) on 09/15/2007 11:22 am

I'd make a cockroach-looking candy that oozed yellow goop when bit into. That'd definitely give somebody a heart attack.

Derrick (Guest) on 09/15/2007 1:39 pm

Normally we have one of those Halloween shops popping up about now but I have yet to discover where it is. I've been planning all year to hit it up though to get props for a zombie film me and my friends have been planning.

Comment by (Guest) on 09/15/2007 4:11 pm

Yeah, the UK has no Halloween stores. It does suck. Lucky Americans.
I think that the ultimate Halloween candy would be: your own face. Like the way they take your photo and put it on the icing on b'day cakes.
Mmmmmm face-cookies, they could ooze jam "blood" when you bite into it.

MEK (Guest) on 09/15/2007 8:29 pm

Aww man, those candies look.... Sweet! Haha XD
I'm not the kinda guy to even go out, so I can't say I'll be looking for anything Halloweenish, anther tragedy is that I lost my sweet tooth too! So I don't even feel like eating sweets!
Apart from Jaffacakes.... And then only in small doses.
Oh yeah, I totally agree with Comment's Comment above me!

Marti (Guest) on 09/16/2007 12:21 am

How come there hasn't been something along the lines of Candy Intestines or something? That'd be pretty cool.
My husband and I always go to The Nick Nackery in Evansville Indiana, near my home. Not a huge place but the biggest we have in this area.

Jared (Guest) on 09/16/2007 5:57 am

'If I was to be making the candies for the childrens, I would want to make my candies look like Jesus, and he would be givings the forgiveness whenever you bite the gummy Jesus and the red licorice would pour from his hands because halloween is sin.'

The Final Beast (Guest) on 09/16/2007 11:19 am

I've been to so many stores lately. It makes me happy that there are Marc's in Ohio. We get so many things during the Halloween season that it can drive one mad on what to get first. What one Marc's gets doesn't mean another will get the same. I've already bought a 12" casket filled with six candles and three candle holders, four skeleton candle holders (show pictures if you want), a casket that opens up with Dracula in it and makes sound. I could go on with what I find there that you will barely find any where else. I think I should travel to a few today again.

Doctor Who (Guest) on 09/16/2007 10:20 pm

Realistic gummy brains. They would be packaged in gooey strawberry syrup, which you would get at by cracking open a candy skull (those sugar ones that they give out in Mexico on Dia De Los Muertos).

And the skull itself would be wrapped in foil that would be designed to resemble a face and skin, so the whole thing would look like a shrunken head.

Thus you, like a good zombie, could tear off the skin, crunch through the skull and enjoy the delicious bloody BRRRAAIINNS inside.

I bet if you wanted you could make the entire setup even more elaborate and gruesome. Marshmallow eyes in the skull's sockets? A licorice tongue?

we have already begun to propagate the phrase...can seesaw the booy...on our blogspot and in the upcoming end credits of our little internet cartoon...it`s just precious...come see us some time.

scott (Guest) on 09/18/2007 4:09 am

I remember seeing John Waters on Letterman a few years ago and he had brought a box of candy named Dingleberries. He said he had written to the company asking if they knew what the word meant but never received a reply.

I'm diappointed! Zombie Fingers look awesome!

I'm disappointed! Zombie Fingers look awesome!

The Chin (Guest) on 09/19/2007 2:08 pm

What kid wouldn't want to have "Scab-a-Roni"?

This product would be hot with the rugrats, I betcha!

It's the adults who can't handle this kind of stuff.

Dave Jupp (Guest) on 09/24/2007 11:14 am

Hello Kids!
Father Of Chef Ghoulicious here! Do notice that those images are from almost 3 years ago when the concept began! Also take note of name and character...that was when product was in it's very early stages. We showed Target all the concepts and THEY asked us which product we felt would be best on shelves. We chose 3. Bag of Brains, Box of Boogers and Can of Worms. All sold welll, but the Box and Bag clearly did great. Look for them at Target now! The Boogers are selling out fast.....everyday Box of Boogers will be on shelves soon as well. Totally different look from the retro packaging.
Also, the Lump of Intestine was a concept I have been begging to do....just think of the fun you could have playing crazed Zombie with those!
Time will tell my friends!
