10 Gadgets That Will Make Your Kitchen Be The Spookiest In Halloween Town

Let's say, by some wild coincidence, that the zombie apocalypse occurs, quickly turning the Earth into an undead wasteland. One of the most coveted locations to come across, aside from a hospital or a car dealership, is an abandoned house's kitchen. Not only is it a handy place to store knives, but it's also a potential haven for nonperishable food (and booze, if you're lucky). If you're extra lucky, you may even find a few forgotten treasures left behind by the previous owner. Who's to say they'll come back and reclaim them, anyway? Might as well stock your kitchen with it!
If you have reservations about stealing from the dead, do not fret. Despite the terrifying, yet ultimately fictional, scenario, there are many kinds of kitchen gadgets and goodies that any horror fan would love to be caught dead with. While they may not be useful in a zombie apocalypse, these 10 products are available for purchase so that you too can turn your kitchen into something out of The Nightmare Before Christmas.

10. Bat Wine Opener

This adorably handy wine opener is sure to stand out in your utensil drawer the next time you open it up! This cute corkscrew is colored black, fitted with bat wings on the handles of the instrument, and even sports a pair of tiny bat ears on top. How quaint!

Of course, once you open that bottle of wine or whiskey, it helps to have something fancy to keep it in. There exist several fancy decanter sets, but if you're in the mood for something more 'Lovecraftian", this Octopus Decanter Set may be for you!
While a bit on the expensive side, this highly detailed resin set boasts a lovely bronze finish, a sturdy, durable product, and can store up to 22 fluid ounces of your liquid of choice (hopefully not blood). Even if you don't drink, it can still function as a lovely centerpiece or decoration for one's eclectic tastes. Just don't try to keep a real octopus in it. They're way too intelligent to stay put and would probably find the action rather insulting.

8. Apocalypse Magnetic Poetry

Returning to the idea of living in a post-apocalyptic world, let's say you're not one to do the whole "go outside and scavenge wreckage for a tin of beans" kind of survivor, and are more of a "stay in a bunker with so many beans, the UK is trying to buy some off of you" sort of prepper. While you may have all the food and water you need, there comes the third, unsung problem with any human being: surviving boredom.
Fortunately for you, the apocalypse-themed Magnetic Poetry Kit is right here, ready to provide you with a clever, yet ironic, medium to express your creativity. With 200 magnets that stick to any steel surface, you're bound to find numerous combinations, especially if you mix and match with other similar kits! And with your penchant for hoarding beans, I wouldn't be surprised if you did have more sets.

7. Zombie Oven Mitt

Want to know the coolest thing about being a zombie? No, it isn't the fact that you can eat flesh and brains whenever you please, although it isn't a downside. It's the fact that, since you're dead, you have no nerve endings and don't feel any pain! Who needs pain receptors when your brain is decaying, anyway?
If being bitten by a zombie isn't worth the trade-off, then you can rest easy (and in one piece) knowing that the Zombie Oven Mitt is available for you! Whether you're cooking or using a hot pan as a weapon against the undead, this mitt will protect your hand from intense heat (although maybe not a zombie bit, sadly). There's even a neat print of a zombie's hand on it, giving the 'illusion' of being one of the undead! If it starts to smell like the undead, however, make sure to wash it.

6. Spider Web Shelving

A house without a shelf is a lot like a spider without its webbing: almost impossible to think about! Where else is a spider to store its delicious six-legged treats? If you too need some new hanging shelves to place your effects (for example, an octopus decanter), why not purchase some wooden, wall-hanging spider web shelves?
Easy to put together and incredibly durable, this shelf can hang in your bedroom, living room, bathroom, and especially the kitchen! Perfect for stocking your spices, ingredients, and other decorations. Also, if you don't dust it for a while, it'll start to form natural cobwebs, thanks to any nearby spiders. Bonus!

5. Ghost Drying Mat

One of the more annoying things about poltergeists is their ability to open cabinets, knock dishes to the floor, and spell out vulgar threats with your magnetic poetry set. Quite rude, in all honesty.
With a ghost-patterned drying mat, you can appease the spirits in your house by reminding them that you are indeed aware of their existence and to please leave the dishes untouched as they dry on this cute, ghost-patterned mat. If any water does happen to spill on it from unruly spirits, then rest easy knowing this mat will absorb it with ease!

4. Skully The Basting Brush

Have you ever been cooking a delicious meal for yourself and your group of ghoulish friends and realized that the fresh brain you're preparing needs to be basted in copious amounts of butter? You could reach for the plain basting brush, but that would hardly raise any excitement, wouldn't it?
Fortunately, there's Skully, the basting brush! With his cute little top hat, you can use your skeletal friend's rubbery teeth to baste dinner like the pros do! Well, if the pros knew about Skully, he would surely be used. Who wouldn't want to use him? I mean, just look at his friendly face!

3. Coffin Butter Dish

Quick question: Where do you like to store your butter? If you said "a rotten, wooden coffin that was buried in the backyard", then you may need to invest in some psychiatric help! Either that or this cute little coffin butter dish, since it's much cheaper.
Made of black ceramic, this butter dish is in the shape of a coffin (though you probably already knew that), and has an adorable skull on the top as a handle. The perfect companion for Skully the brush, as well as your breakfast toast! It's probably not advisable to put a dead body in it, however.

2. Zombie Popsicle Molds

If you'd like to bring some joy to the safehouse next time you're hiding from the undead horde and you happen to have enough electricity to run a freezer, then do you know what would help? Popsicles! Specifically, popsicles in the shape of zombies. While the thought of dying by being attacked by zombies is terrifying, at least there's blue raspberry and cherry!
The popsicle molds come in the shape of various zombies, with the handles fittingly formed into the shape of legs. Just add whichever juice you want into the mold and freeze them! If you think zombie popsicles might be too insensitive, however, the company offers some in the shape of monsters, dinosaurs, and even penguins!

The last thing anyone wants to do is make a mess in their kitchen. No matter what you're preparing, be it soup, a stew, or "long pig", it helps to keep everything as neat as possible. For a bit more "splash" in your kitchen, consider the "blood splash" spoon rest.
Keep drips and spills off of your counter with this quirky silicone spoon rest, formed to look like a large splash of blood! Sure, it comes in other colors, but this is supposed to be a list of spooky items! And what's more terrifying than the prospect of cleaning up blood off of your countertops? Probably many other things, but that's another story.
