This just in: The Geekery Category is infiltrating the wholesome handmade pumpkin patch and seeding weirdness. SymetriColour has mystically transformed this benign plastic toy into a creepy electronic jack-o-lantern with flashing eyes and creaking theremin sounds, sure to scare away those pesky trick-or-treaters. Halloween for audio-hackers never looked (and sounded) so good.
I don’t know about you, but I’m totally excited for Halloween on Etsy. It’s time for creepy cute — my favorite! Post me some links to strange Halloween items in the comments below.

You're UTUBE Pumpkin is also a cat alarm clock and magnet! While playing it all three of my cats woke up (from various parts of the house) and came to see what "that" noise was.
