Looking for the perfect way to “spruce” up your Halloween decor? Are you “pining” for a centerpiece for your next Halloween party? Try building this toe-pincher coffin.

Best of all, since it’s made of plywood, it’s durable enough to reuse at your next scary fete, but it’s lightweight and cheap to build.
This would make a perfect advertisement for skin cancer.
The worst thing about vampires is that nasty, pale skin. Unfortunately, all but those in Twilight have to avoid sunlight, which means being sickly pale is their only option. Luciano Podcaminsky is here to help though with his coffin-shaped tanning bed. Of course, the UV Rays emitted might still be poisonous to vampires, but maybe in low dosages it can improve the complexion without killing the tanner.
A Swedish inventor has created a coffin with a built stereo sound system. Alrighty then!

It’s hard to say what drove these Ukrainian undertakers to build a giant coffin, fill it with a bunch of average-sized coffins and wreaths, and then start serving dinner inside of it. Whatever the motivation, whether it was driven by marketing, or simply their love of the craft, the Eternity Restaurant is a sight to behold.
Crowned unchallenged as the largest coffin in the world by Guinness World Records, the casket is 20 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 6 meters high. Made out of pine (what else?) and furnished inside with the finest funeral décor, guests can enjoy dour dinners surrounded in the trappings of the recently deceased.
Single candles light the intimate tables, where patrons can order morbid dishes with ominous, vague names such as “Let’s meet in Paradise”, or more the more distinctly death oriented “Forty Day Salad”, which eludes to local mourning ritual of repeating memorial services 40 days after a soul’s sad departure.
Run by a local funeral parlor, the restaurant is located in the town of Truskavets, in the west of the country near the Polish border. It was the concept of the parlor’s director, Stepan Pyrianyk, who not only loves his work, but loves a good meal.
