Just imagine, you're at your friend's door, hand poised to knock or ring the doorbell, when suddenly, the knocker starts rapping on the door with a disembodied hand and arm attached to it. Eeek!!  That's just what you get with the creepy "Stranger at the Door" knocker from Fright Catalog ($14.99). The thing is motion activated so it's guaranteed to freak out all your guests and trick or treaters this season.  And it's so popular, it's currently on back order!

But you can't stop there. If anyone dares enter your home, you've got to have a few more tricks up your sleeve (or up the disembodied arm's sleeve). What about a mirror inhabited by a demon? Hang a "Magic Mirror--The Demon" on your wall and see how long your guests will stay. . . Like the door knocker, it's motion activated, so when someone stands at the mirror hoping to gaze at themselves, they get a surprise. A shrieking and leering demon appears instead of their face!! He'll talk to anyone passing by as well, so he's a great ice-breaker for parties too. You can mount it to your wall or rest it on its built-in stand. Powered by 2 AA batteries (included), the mirror measures 15 by 12 by 2.5 inches. ($19.99 from Smart Home.)

Did you know? According to ancient superstitions, if you start into a mirror at midnight on Halloween, you'll see your future spouse. (Hopefully, not a demon)
