With a string of holidays fast approaching, it's time once again for more weird auction fun—beginning with weird Halloween fun! There's always something frightful available on eBay, so before the end of October arrives, be sure to check out these scary steals.

For the Weird

If you're new to the "getting creepy" game, consider simply purchasing an old standby, like this 50-inch mock tarantula, guaranteed to be a hit with trick-or-treaters.

Skulls are also part and parcel of the Halloween season, but wouldn't it be fun to impress your creepy friends with a real human skull? I'm sure this one, donated to medical science, offers all kinds of haunting possibilities.

Once you've fitted your front room with a giant tarantula and a human skull, finish the effect by selecting from among eBay's stock of vintage scythes. No Halloween home is complete without one.

For the Weirder

If you don't think your friends will be sufficiently creeped out by minor decorative touches, consider investing in this brand new life-sized gallows, which will look great in kitchen and guest room alike.

To complete the effect and really creep them out, consider leaving this straightjacket hanging by the front door, or even wearing it around the house along with this innocent-looking venetian leather mask.

For the Commitedly Weird

If you're a Halloweener with money to burn and a determination to play your creepy part this Halloween season, feel free to join the ranks of eBay's weird auction elite by purchasing one from amongst this selection of hearses for sale on eBay and filling it on successive days with coffins from your new coffin collection.

If that isn't weird and creepy enough for you, maybe you should consider taking a break from Halloween and waiting for Christmas instead. Happy haunting, and happy weird eBay bidding as well!
