Last year, Trent Reznor recorded 36 instrumental tracks. This year, he’s releasing them on the internet, rather à la Radiohead, but without the open price. The collection, entitled Ghosts I-IV is now available in a variety of packages, from a most generous gratis to a nail-bitingly expensive 300 US bucks. Find out what kinda nail job you get for your money below.

One guy might’ve had it right: Maybe it was a plastic bag. Could it have been an out-of-focus blue plastic bag dancing around with the wind like that one in the film American Beauty?

Mysterious. Pranksters at work? [Liveleak, via Neatorama]
My bad, I lied. Here’s a selection of spooky-ook furniture you can buy if you’re opening a haunted fairground attraction*/Madame of the world’s least sexy themed brothel*/looking to scare seven shades of shit out of your kids*/on the shortlist to decorate Marilyn Manson’s new crib*/a very sad and lonely individual*. Anyway, it’s expensive, it’s bad taste (that bloodied -baby-cradle combo must really tie the room together**) and it’s almost Hallowe’en, so enjoy the gallery below.
*Delete where applicable. **This is Giz’s joke of the month.
This toy is shaped like a row of books, and includes a sensor that triggers spooky noises and pushes out one of the books when someone walks past. It might fool someone, although I think that old-style binding may scream in-between all those O’Reilly books on programming. [UberGizmo]
