Costco’s Giant Frankenstein Head Is A Bit Too Much

Well, Halloween is right around the corner, and that means costumes are flying off shelves, kids are getting themselves stoked for a mad sugar rush they’ll feel after trick-or-treating, and parents are adding the family dentist to their speed dial. Yep, it’s that season again. You see it in every store you walk into. Aisles packed to the brim with ghouls and witches and buckets of candy. When Halloween time hits, it hits hard and fast, and there are few better places to get your Halloween candy shopping done than at Costco.

Costco offers a huge variety of Halloween candy for the kiddies that are soon to come a-knocking at your door, but there’s one item in particular that’s been garnering a ton of attention. At first, it doesn’t look like much, but upon closer inspection, you realize the life-sized Frankenstein-themed treat is packed with more Halloween goodies than your stomach can handle. Let’s find out if you’re brave enough to make this behemoth purchase.

Celebrate Halloween The Frankenstein Way

So, let’s break down this gigantic Halloween treat crafted by a company called Ten Acre Gifts. First off, the details are pretty spectacular. This thing genuinely looks like Frankenstein’s monster, which is super impressive considering the whole thing is actually just 100% Belgian chocolate. You can see ripples and creases in the vacant face that actually feels quite creepy, so props to the people at Ten Acre Gifts for going hard on the authenticity. 

Now, as cool as the Frankenstein-themed treat looks, the hands-down best part is how to get to the candy lurking inside. There’s an actual mallet included in the purchase, and you better believe the only way to reach the bundle of gummy body parts inside is to swing away at the head and smash it to pieces. There’s only one thing kids love more than eating candy, and that’s destroying things with mallets, so this purchase here’s a tasty two-fer. Gummy brains, eyeballs, and fingers spill out once the head is thoroughly broken, so you get both Belgian chocolate and gummy candies in one purchase.

Is It Worth The Price Tag?

As we mentioned above, the monster head costs $54.99, so it certainly isn’t a bargain buy. It also weighs five and a half pounds, so you might want to crank out some curls before you head to Costco to pick one up. Customers seem to be divided about the price, with some more than willing to purchase such a unique item while others can’t bring themselves to shell out the high cost. For that much money, you can buy a variety of other treats that get you more bang for your buck. But, we still can’t deny this is one helluva cool Costco Halloween item.
