The Melting Hand Candle is 2017’s Best Halloween Decoration

Published

on

Now this is how you decorate for Halloween.

One of my favorite ways to bring a little Halloween spirit into my home is through candles, a few of which are currently burning bright as I sit here writing this article. Candles are the perfect way to bring Fall scents like candy corn and pumpkin praline into your living space, while also adding a spooky atmosphere to a darkened room.

But these “Bleeding Hand Candles,” well, they take things to a whole new level.

Exclusively available through the appropriately named online shop Creepy Candles, these one-of-a-kind candles are made to look like human hands, and they gruesomely bleed red wax as they melt. Underneath the life-sized hand is a sheet metal skeleton, which is exposed as the waxy flesh melts away.

They sell for $35, and each one is hand-made.

Check out each stage of the melt process below, along with a time-lapse video.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
