Tom Mabe has a great piece of Halloween tech here with this flying ghost. I don’t know whether to laugh at the people who run off when this spectre sneaks up behind them and screams or whether to recognise that they’ve done the sensible thing! Mabe won’t say how he created this skull demon. This […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #7 Demon Beast Mask
Some times you have to go traditional for Halloween. This means going as a demon. It might also mean going as one of the beasts that inspired the original fears of death in the woods. You can go as both; you can go as a demon beast. Fancy another mask suggestion? Try a one at […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 The Cthulhu Alien
I like this mask as a good option for Halloween because it’s also, at a glance, suitable for lots of LARPing. It’s a full head latex cover which makes it a costume mask and not just decoration and there’s no blood and gore here, no artificial fright, it’s just a mask of a creature. I […]
Who scares the best? Top 10 best Horror sellers at DriveThru Fiction

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #5 Coulrophobia Clown
Is this clown mask too scary? Coulrophobia the the fear of clowns even if the phrase was coined online and may not impress experts. If you buy this scary-as-fook mask from Halloween Costumes.com then I think you might spread a little coulrophobia of your own. Would you really want it in the house, though? The […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #4 The Night Stalker
How’s this Night Stalker mask from fancydress.com? It’s got a feature called “Ani-motion” in it which means when you open your mouth, the mask also opens its mask and reveals some sharp teeth! The site swears it is comfortable to wear. I imagine if moving masks become more common we’ll have to get used to […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #2 The Plague Collectors Mask
In this issue of the 12 Masks of Halloween we ask one key question. How much is a mask worth? The answer, of course, depends on the quality of the mask, whether it’s new, second hand and whether the previous owner was an actor in a famous horror movie. This particular mask – the The […]
The 12 Masks of Halloween: #1 Silicone Mask Flayed
The 12 Masks of Halloween is something of a tradition here at Geek Native. Every year these masks bubble to the surface and act as a count down to Halloween. Think of it as a geeky alternative to an advent calendar.
Forget pumpkins for Jack-o’-lanterns; go stumpkins!
Do you know we’re not quite sure how the original Will-o’-the-Wisp or Jack of the Lantern lights? Gourds were the earlist planet domesticated by humans but perhaps Jack-o’-lanterns were first carved from turnips as the Halloween practise probably started in the Highlands of Scotland. It’s not the container that matters. It’s your ability to make […]
Hell No: The sensible horror film
Not coming to a cinema near you. Not confusing you with illogical and daft choices. Not filled with people with the survival skills of an 8-bit Space Invader. Hell No is not a film you need to wait until Halloween to watch. You can watch the spoof trailer right now. Enjoy smart characters and realistic […]
