With less than one week until Halloween, our minds are turning to tricks and treats—but really, why shouldn't we be able to keep a bit of this holiday's spirit in our lives all year? In the bleak mornings of January, the pollen-heavy afternoons of March and the sweltering evenings of July, couldn't we all use a little more mischief and mayhem in our lives? If you play it right, every day can boast a little of the eerie, late-October weirdness of Halloween—and here are ten delightfully creepy Etsy finds to help.

Pink Fetus Catnip Toy by Bixbies, $6
It's annoying enough when your cat leaves little mole carcasses on your stoop after a night of hunting, so curb its thirst for unborn humans with this darling little thing.

Knitting in Biology 101 by CraftyHedgehog, $95
Or buy a pattern for $4 and knit your own—either way, it's certain to be more fun than your sophomore year science lab. Should smell better, too.

Tan Hypodermic Syringe Tie by CrescentWench, $35
I don't know anyone who loves getting vaccinated, but having a doctor come towards you with a needle in one hand and this around his neck would certainly lighten the mood, eh?

Real Raccoon Heart Talisman Plaque by CustomCreasure, $35
Having "the heart of a lion" means you're valiant, strong and brave. Having the heart of a raccoon likely means you have dark circles under your eyes and enjoy rummaging through neighbors' trash, and that said neighbors will mentally note to not fuck with you when they spy this on your wall through your living room window.

Octopus Necklace by CuteAbility, $14
I felt like a weirdo when I bought a similar necklace a few years ago, but I get tons of compliments every time I wear it. So either I'm not so much a weirdo after all, or I am but just happen to know a lot of other weirdos, or they're all totally normal and just trying to appease the girl with the giant gold cephalopod hanging from her neck 'cause who knows what she might do next.
