Gruesome Anatomy Illuminators

The Brain Candle is the Perfect Spooky Halloween Light

— October 6, 2012 — Art & Design
The Brain Candle is an ideal Halloween light that will give your home extra gory ambience this year. This gruesome piece is sure to get Halloween party attendees in a spooky mood. This candle definitely belongs in a haunted house or perhaps a mad scientists lab. The funny design team at ThinkGeek came up with this great product, so if you'd like one for yourself you can grab one off their website.

The Brain Candle looks just like how it sounds: it's a pink wax candle molded into the shape of a brain. It's also cased inside of a glass jar that appears as though it's filled with formaldehyde. That's just how it looks, though, so you don't have to worry about that smell making its way around your house.

Grab one of these to set a creepy mood for Halloween.
