Spooky Patents That’ll Haunt Your Halloween
Halloween is the season of ghouls, goblins, and… patents? That’s right! While you’re carving pumpkins and dodging trick-or-treaters, inventors have been hard at work patenting the creepiest Halloween-themed gadgets. Let’s dive into the haunted world of Halloween patents.
The Pumpkin Scraping and Scooping Tool (US12220077B2)
Tired of pumpkin goo under your nails? Well, someone was, and they decided to invent a contraption to help scoop out that orange slime when you’re elbow-deep in it.
Fog Machine with Heating Element for Producing Fog Instantaneously (WO2003092845A2)
What’s a haunted house without that mysterious layer of fog creeping along the floor? This patent is for a machine for generating and discharging fog.
Talking Tombstone (DE202007001091U1)
While this invention was meant to be more commemorative, it can also be used to scare those pesky kids out of your yard. This tombstone delivers pre-recorded messages. Be creative!
Self-Standing Display Figure (US2011097966A1)
This self-standing skeleton is the perfect decoration for those of you who want to be generous to the kids, but just don’t want to be near them. It includes a tray that can hold up to 30 pounds of candy. That’s a lot of Snickers!
5. Halloween Trick Bowl (US2008072370A1)
If you really want to scare those kiddos, these inventions prove that Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy-it’s about over-engineering the spooky season with gadgets that are equal parts genius and weird. These patents remind us that human creativity knows no bounds, especially when there’s a chance to scare the pants off someone. So, this Halloween, raise a glass (or a fog-spewing ghost) to the inventors who keep the holiday weird, wild, and wonderfully patented.
Happy Haunting! Try out this candy bowl with a bottom that opens. Stick your arm through and grab their hands when they reach in….probably going a little too far…maybe just push a fake monster arm through the bottom.
