Keep it Weird: Theremin Pumpkin Has Me Excited for Halloween

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.
