Published

on

We’re not sure why they became a thing but we sure are glad that pop culture tiki mugs are now a thing, because we’ve seen some pretty awesome ones come out in the past few months. Up next, Mondo’s Halloween tiki mug isn’t exactly a tiki mug, per se – it looks more like a cookie jar than anything else – but it’s really cool and it goes up for pre-order TODAY.

The latest in Mondo’s Tee-kis line is inspired by the Jack-o-Lantern from the opening credits of John Carpenter’s Halloween and features a “carved” Michael Myers on the back. It comes complete with removable pumpkin lid, two Slasher Swizzle Sticks and holds approx 17 oz.

The ceramic, handmade mugs will be available for pre-order today, October 16 at 11AM (CT) via mondotees.com. They’re limited to 850 mugs and will be selling for $52 each.

These are expected to ship in 1st Quarter of 2019

Suspiria Button-Up from Middle of Beyond

I’d drape myself in Suspiria‘s lavish aesthetic every day if I could. Middle of Beyond’s new button-up shirt with an all-over print featuring many of the film’s iconic visuals is the next best thing.

It costs $60, and you can complete the outfit with matching shorts for the same price.
