I don't think I've ever laid eyes on a creepier photography device than the 'Third Eye' camera. Made out of a skull, this piece is absolutely perfect for Halloween.

Created by Wayne Martin Bleger, the 'Third Eye' camera also features precious metals and stones, making it look like an arcane device used by sorcerers and witches. Nevertheless, this camera actually functions and takes pictures, making it a crafty and practical item.
