Meet your new pet spider
This 3D, interactive spider at onemotion.com is an impressive feat of Flash animation and physics. You can adjust the color, size and speed of the little fella using sliders, then move your mouse cursor to a location on the map and press the space bar to deposit a tiny fly, and watch the spider make its way over to feed.

Zombie t-shirt so tacky it will scare away real zombies
You know what I like about this shirt? It’s only $5! It’s also so ugly that I’d be a little excited to wear it in public, because it would annoy people. And then after stepping outside I’d realize the error of my ways and wish I’d thought about this “annoying people” plan a little more, because it’s not a very good idea, and now I have to walk around with a green ghoul holding a purple brain. Oh well. It would probably look good under a black light. And at five bucks a shirt you could buy one for everybody in your family, even Grandma.

New ALIENS warrior available for pre-order
Gah, it hurts… I have to tell you this before the chestburster explodes through my breastplate like a tiny screeching Godzilla on crack. Mmmfff, can you pull some of that webbing off my face so I can see you? Thanks. This amazingly detailed ALIENS warrior figure is 7″ tall and fully poseable, and only $17 if you pre-order from Horrorbles.com.

Because if you have to give a gift this year, then someone should suffer.
Make your own zombie Barbie
Bratz may have the child-hooker market cornered, but when it comes to disturbingly beautiful corpses, you pretty much have to look to Barbie. It’s what I used back in high school to make my own Laura Palmer gift for a friend (“She’s dead, wrapped in plastic!”), and it’s what Paranaiv is using for his own custom zombie doll look. His secret weapon: an exposed skull showing through the broken face. Nice!
Check out his site for step-by-step photos on how to make your own.

Tokyo insect-chef pens cookbook you will never, ever need

Thanks to Yoichi Uchiyama, you’ll never again have to worry about how to properly prepare Argentine cockroaches to serve at your next dinner party. After all, is there anything more embarrassing than serving an undercooked cockroach to your spouse’s boss? Yes: overcooking the maggots!
Uchiyama runs an insect-cooking blog written in some crazy, made-up language (here’s a Google-translated version), and now he’s put his kitchen experience into print.
His blog is infested (ha, get it?) with pics of various bug recipes he’s invented, as well as photos of people who have sampled his food. (They all look like students on field trips, not surprisingly.) Click through for more mouth-watering photos.
