X-Entertainment | The Skull Fountain.

The Skull Fountain.

Today's Countdown entry is only late if you're one of those religious fanatics who honestly believes that today is September 26th and not actually still the 25th. I am here to enlighten you: It's September 25th, and today's deadline-meeting Countdown entry is a shorty about the Skull Fountain, a bowl of punch with bleeding eyes!

Because I'm nice, I've decided to post the entry for the 26th a day ahead of schedule. Look for it by tonight!

Oh Matt, you lovable trickster you.

Wait, what?

Is V-8 too thick for something like that? Because it seems like that would be the closest drinkable liquid to the blood-red look. Even as it is, that’s one hell of a punch bowl. I’d put it out even at non-Halloween parties, attempting to justify it with odd signs. By the time I had it at a President’s Day party with a sign that said “Kiss Me, I’m from D.C.,” I would have probably pushed the boundary, though.

The instructions say you can’t use anything with pulp…V8 is a little pulpy, but I’m not sure.

I would thow some Mt. Dew game fuel in there. Only thing that crap is good for. Bring back the original Pitch Black I say!

Maybe grape juice – he looks like he should have very dark blood!

A friend of mine had something like this last year and he put bloody mary mix in it. It was quite tasty. It had that Willy Wonka chocolate waterfall effect on the drink and it was smooth as could be.

Matt: first of all, I know an awesome drink made with kool-aid packets that big. And it tastes like cherry Tootsie Roll pops! I’m trying to figure out how to make it alcoholic.

Also, while the skull fountain is interesting, this Bloody Pumpkin Fountain is infinitely more awesome and is, by far, my most coveted Halloween possession. But I don’t think you can put beverages in it. I’m not sure.

The dates are changing all willy-nilly. I’m cold, and frightened.

I actually LOL’d at the youtube clip… How did you not crack up when you saw how poorly it ‘worked’. Wish I could have been there to watch this live, I think I’d still be laughing.

Chestnuts roasted by Nizz @ 09/26/2007 1:59 PM

Still cool, even if its a bit of a disappointment. I would probably still buy it if I was having a Halloween party, though.

I’m pissed I missed the ‘what horror movie have you not seen yet’ blog!

Still, nice to get a new entry while I was cruising an old one.

Wow! I’ve been a regular reader for a couple years but never posted before…I’m not too far down the line! Matt I’d just like to thank you for all the great articles, they’ve become part of my little family units annual holiday tradition.

I’m in agreement that grape juice might liven up the action.
The skull looks to be that super hard weird foam stuff, rubberized coated. (I am well aware of the grammatical errors in that sentence).

I’ve also been trying to figure out what you were watching by the sounds in the background… can’t quite figure it out.

Chestnuts roasted by Raechel @ 09/26/2007 2:24 PM

I believe it was Family Guy.

Oh, I so desire that Bloody Pumpkin Fountain!
Think I’ll make it my Halloween/Bday Party splurge! (Yup, my birthday is only the greatest holiday of the year!)

Chestnuts roasted by Raechel @ 09/26/2007 2:28 PM

What a freakin rip-off! I would be tempted to try something thicker. The front of the box makes it look like goo could be used.

I am so diggin’ that pumpkin Special K.

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 09/26/2007 2:37 PM

How about orange juice with heavy red food dye?

btw i kno exactly wut u mean about about plastic things and how they sometimes seem contaminated especially if theres a new smell to it. then on top of that, if the drink is warm when it reaches my mouth i feel like i shouldnt be drinking it at all.

Chestnuts roasted by cris @ 09/26/2007 2:38 PM

Raechel: If you find one, PLEASE let me know!! I heard it was discontinued last year and then they rerelease it this year and they’ve been sold out since June.

Chestnuts roasted by Special K @ 09/26/2007 2:41 PM

tonight! tonight!

Chestnuts roasted by oh andrew @ 09/26/2007 2:47 PM

It’s so sad that you never get to have a party. We live in the same city so plan away and I will be there. In fact, I would probably pay to attend. This site never fails to entertain.

Poop! I just called every location in my state (CO), and no one’s currently got it… the one at Flatirons Mall said it’s on order; and they took my name. We’ll see if they ever call.

They all recommended the Bleeding Reaper Fountain, but it’s nowhere near as cool.

Chestnuts roasted by Raechel @ 09/26/2007 3:00 PM

For some reason when I saw the first pic I thought the little starburst next to the skeleton punch ladle said “Bonus Bong” and I was thinking that was kind of an odd choice of bonuses. Probably it would have made the whole thing a little less disappointing anyway…

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 09/26/2007 3:02 PM

A whole day ahead of schedule? You’re too good to us, Matt. It’s like Halloween is here already.

Chestnuts roasted by Chris @ 09/26/2007 3:04 PM

How bout Hidden Valley Ranch ranch dip with red food coloring? oh i know! red food colored nacho cheese! that would soooo work!

Btw, looking at the ingredients in the Jones Strawberry S’lime soda can in front of me, i have to wonder, How the HELL do they “invert” cane sugar? i mean its crystals…how do they turn little microscopic particles inside out?
