As we put Halloween behind us and begin the thawing of Mariah Carey, we’re still sorting through the four scariest words for lawyers and the submissions for our costume contest. But it seems even beyond what we’ve gotten directly from readers, there were some scary (read: hopelessly nerdy) shenanigans out there.

Is that a giant, working gavel?
Absolute masterpiece.
