The great thing about the Halloween Season is that everyone embraces the spooky things we love all year ’round, which means all kinds of horror-themed products start hitting shelves around this time of the year. And on that note, the company Hijinx is offering up their “Parlor of Peculiarities” for the Halloween Season, spooky ice cream you can make right at home.

Hijinx is a DIY ice cream mix that you simply blend and freeze to make ANY flavor of ice cream at home. All you need is a blender, milk, and a special bag of Hijinx ice cream powder.

Hijinx has partnered with DIY/food creator Nikk Alcaraz for their “Parlor of Peculiarities” set, which enables you to make several different spooky-themed ice cream treats.

The “deliciously odd flavors from the Parlour of Peculiarities” include…
  • Ginger Jinx (turmeric, ginger, and lemon)
  • Green Fairy Absinthe (a non-alcoholic, licorice-flavored elixir) 
  • Jack-O-Lantern Cheesecake (autumn spice mix, chai, and graham crackers)
  • Faire Noir (caramel, cinnamon, cocoa)
  • Here Lies Earl Grey (Earl Grey tea and lavender)

“These signature flavors are from the mind of Nikk Alcaraz, a Food artist, DIYer, and Content Creator with an appetite for the strange and unusual. He is the founder of Practical Peculiarities, a creative hub for peculiar food and DIY’s. From whimsical recipes to dark DIY’s Nikk is the internet’s master of Practical and Peculiar homemaking.

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.
