Submerged Hand Coffee Cups

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Halloween Mugs Will Spook Unsuspecting Guests

— August 19, 2013 — Art & Design
These creepy Halloween mugs are designed to have a hand reaching up from the center of the cup. The creative ceramic coffee cup design has a brown pattern on the exterior of the mug with a white background. The porcelain mug is great not just for Halloween, but for pranks and ice breakers. They also make great gifts for zombie enthusiasts. As well, these Halloween mugs are reminiscent of the Inferi at the end of the sixth Harry Potter novel and movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

The cups only come in the brown and white design. To effectively prank drinkers, it is best to use coffee or another dark liquid to properly conceal the white hand. Hot chocolate would work just as well for a younger audience or less caffeinated drinkers.
