The Exorcist Puking Regan Bottle Pourer: For Demonic Drinks

Posted on by

Inspired by the scene from The Exorcist that kept me up countless nights when I was a child because I watched the movie entirely too young at a sleepover, this pewter bottle pourer features the likeness of Regan MacNeil projectile vomiting. The $45 pourer is handmade and sold by Crimson Hands FX on Etsy and fits most liquor bottles. Thankfully for the wives of husbands like me, it does not fit baby bottles.

Obviously, this is a must-have for any serious Halloween-themed party. I mean, if you’re not decorating all the way down to the bottle pourers, do you even take the holiday seriously?

Fun fact: did you know in the scene from the movie Regan was originally supposed to puke on Father Karras’s chest, but the tubing carrying the fake vomit misfired, hitting him in the face instead? His look of surprise and disgust was real. And, honestly, I’m still not convinced Regan’s demonic possession wasn’t real, either.

Stainless Steel Rocket Cocktail Shaker: For out of This World Mixed Drinks

Posted on by

Designed by drinkware manufacturer Viski, the Rocket Cocktail Shaker (affiliate link) is a 24-ounce stainless steel drink shaker in the form of a retro rocket. I can already see myself holding a highly-anticipated countdown to happy hour. 3…2…1…blastoff!

This would be the perfect shaker for a space-themed bar. Or an actual bar in outer space. Do we have those yet? I thought the 2020s were supposed to be the future. This sure doesn’t look like the future. Where’s my hoverboard? Where’s my jetpack? I feel like every single 1980s and ’90s movie about the future lied to us. Curse you, Back To The Future II!


Could you imagine if James Bond insisted that not only his martinis were shaken, but shaken in a Rocket Cocktail Shaker? People would think he’s crazy. Or drunk. But they definitely wouldn’t think he’s a spy, so mission accomplished.

Sinking Ship Cocktail Glass: You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

Posted on by

Presumably inspired by the Titanic (which also had four smokestacks and sank), this is the Sinking Ship cocktail glass available from FireBox. The $19 drinking vessel has a handblown glass ship inside, so you can pretend you’re Poseidon releasing his wrath upon humanity by swirling the glass to create a whirlpool and making a mess all over the living room carpet.

I’ve heard of a ship in a bottle before, but never a ship in a glass. FireBox suggests mixing a blue curaçao based drink in the vessel and adding a few large ice cubes for Titanic realism or filling the glass with coffee liqueur to resemble an oil spill. Alternatively, fill the glass with red sangria and pretend sharks are having a feeding frenzy.

The borosilicate glass is hand-wash only and comes with a warning to add ice cubes carefully and not just toss them in willy-nilly, because the last thing you want is to break off a jagged piece of glass then accidentally swallow it thinking it’s ice. Speaking from firsthand experience, that can really ruin date night.

Tentacled Cocktail Glasses: Sipping Under the Sea

Posted on by

Looking for the perfect cocktail glasses to compliment your ocean-themed home bar? How about these octopus glasses from Cerahome? Each glass holds four ounces of your favorite cocktail (or poison if you’re hosting a murder mystery) and would look great in the hand of Ursula while she steals your voice in exchange for legs.

Available from Amazon for $25 a pair (affiliate link), the glasses have five points of contact on their bases, making them “very stable and not easy to knock down.” Is that a challenge? Because I once accidentally knocked over a full beer keg.

Obviously, these are going to be perfect for the Enchantment Under The Sea dance-themed party I’m going to throw. We’ll dance and sip cocktails from our tentacled glasses and quote Back To The Future all night dressed as our favorite characters from the movies! You know I started writing this as a joke, but the more I think about it, it might actually be the best idea I’ve ever had.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Whiskey Decanter Set

Posted on by

Because boldly going where no man has gone before is excuse enough for a cocktail, this is the Star Trek: The Next Generation 5-Piece Whiskey Decanter Set from Robe Factory and available on Amazon for $100 (affiliate link). Jim Beam me up, Scotty.

The set includes a 26-ounce decanter etched with the United Federation of Planets logo along with the USS Enterprise’s NCC-1701-D designation and delta shield. The 10-ounce tumbler glasses also include the Enterprise’s designation as well as the delta shield, and the whole set has a unique curve to it so it’s clear they’re from outer space and the future.

Call me old fashioned, but I drink my whiskey straight from the bottle it comes in. That way I don’t have to wash any extra glasses, because I don’t live in the future and my apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher. Well I mean it does, but I’m it.
