WEB WATCH

Dolls on the loose
I know fall has arrived when the Christmas decorations start popping up in basements and corners at department stores. The shiny balls and tacky tinsel sit patiently in their boxes, leering at the stuffed witches and plastic pumpkins, knowing that in time the entire floor will be theirs.

Halloween is a short season for marketers, but, fortunately, the undead last all year long. Last year, vampires ruled the screen. This year, the undead, a.k.a. zombies, have pulled up their bootstraps and taken over the cinema, flaunting their corpses in 28 Days Later, Cabin Fever and the soon-to-be-released House of the Dead.

If you tire easily while watching the zombie-cam, try a different approach to those nasty flesh-eaters at zombiepinups.com. The site comes with a warning: "Beware of the Zombie Pinups – creatures that roam the night, breaking men's hearts and then eating their brains for breakfast!" These sexy girls not only show a little skin, but some muscle tissue and bone fragment, too.

If you’re looking for a companion with a little less appetite, view the pint-sized evil darlings at damneddollies.com. At five inches, these handmade deviants can be whisked around town, causing mayhem from your pocket. Each doll is made to order, so you can customize your scourge for only $28 US plus shipping and handling – crazed expression included.
