VIDEO: Costco’s Smashable Chocolate Frankenstein, Starbucks Black Cat Frappuccino, and Candy Corn Beer

0:03 Hello, I'm Johnny Mac with five good news Halloween stories. Good news, Costco has rolled out a Halloween treat that you're supposed to destroy before you eat it. What's going on, John? Well, the warehouse chain is selling a five and a half pound Frankenstein head. Made entirely from Belgian chocolate. That's right.

0:30 The giant chocolate comes with a wooden mallet. You take the wooden mallet and you smash Frankenstein's head and inside you'll find another surprise. OK, what is it? It's a full pound of gummy candies shaped like body parts, including fingers, feet, brains, ears and teeth. How much does this cost, John? This sounds awesome. Fifty five dollars. Get moving. It's already sold out online and at some of the stores. People are reselling them on eBay for as much as $ 100. Come on, jerks.

0:57 Don't do that. On social media, one person defended the price point, said, Belgium chocolate is way better than regular chocolate. Do you ever fly over to Belgium for 50 bucks? No. And the whole thing's cool, so stop complaining. Okay, I'll stop complaining. Lego is getting in on Halloween. They have released the Halloween Pumpkin Lantern, a 323-piece Lego set that turns into a working light-up jack-o'-lantern. The finished pumpkin has an orange brick exterior, a smiling carved face, and a green stem. If you press down on the stem, a light hidden inside turns on, illuminating the Lego pumpkin's face.

1:33 The set also comes with a small spider and a glow-in-the-dark ghost that can be positioned above the pumpkin so it looks like it's floating. That's cool. How big is this thing? Four inches tall, five inches wide. So probably a lot smaller than you were imagining ten seconds ago. It is small enough for a desk, bookshelf, or a windowsill.

1:52 And unlike real pumpkins, you don't have to throw it away in November. How much does the four inches tall, five inches wide Lego jack-o'-lantern go for, John? About $ 30. In Philadelphia, a speakeasy is getting into the Halloween spirit with a little help from Edgar Allan Poe and the Headless Horseman. Yeah, a place called Newsroom Philly has transformed itself temporarily into the Pumpkin Press, a Halloween pop-up inspired by Poe's stories and by the legend of Sleepy Hollow, from which we get the Headless Horseman. The Pumpkin Press Bar is near the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site, home to the only surviving Philadelphia house where Edgar Allan Poe once lived. He spent several years in Philadelphia during

2:34 the 1830s and 1840s before moving to that other city that tries to take credit for him. Let's give Philly their own today. John, what will I find inside the Pumpkin Press? Well, you'll find glowing pumpkins, candlelight, ravens, and images of the Headless Horseman. There's even a hidden black cat somewhere inside. You go find it. You let me know.

2:54 Do you like Halloween drinks? Well, one of the drinks is also called the Headless Horseman. That's a smoky mezcal drink. Then there's the Moon Over Sleepy Hollow, which combines vodka and pomegranate. There's also the Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned, served with pumpkin-shaped ice. And if you're in a group, you can order the Raven's Cauldron, a rum cocktail for four that arrives with dry ice. Be careful with the dry ice there, guys. Starbucks is in on this. They've added a drink to their Halloween lineup. The Black Cat Frappuccino will roll into Starbucks not until October 22nd, though. They're taking their time. We are told the Black Cat Frappuccino is a dark brown blended drink topped with whipped cream

3:35 and a piece of chocolate shaped like cat ears, giving the finished drink the appearance of a black cat. And it's caffeine free. They had a similar Black Cat Frappuccino in Japan last year. So this thing is big in Japan and now it's coming to the States again. There's also a new Halloween snack to go with it. It is the Venti Black Knight Cookie, made with black cocoa, and that includes pieces of caramelized white chocolate and caramel fudge.

4:00 There's also Starbucks Halloween merch. You can get a white pumpkin-shaped mug with a little black cat looking over the edge, or a black mug shaped like a cauldron. There's also a stainless steel cold cup covered with cats and a barista bag charm featuring the Starbucks bear dressed in a fuzzy black cat costume. Merch starts at $ 15. Check your local store. You ever think to yourself, you know, candy corn is awesome and all, but what if candy corn came with alcohol? Well, good news. Your time has arrived.

4:29 Shock Top has teamed up with Spirit Halloween to create Candy Corn Wheat, a limited edition beer inspired by Halloween candy. Now, I can't believe that's even a sentence with all those words in it. The beer is a 5% alcohol wheat ale, which means Johnny Mac is allergic to it and doesn't even like candy corn to begin with. But you might like all those and not be allergic. And we are told it does not taste like somebody simply melted a bag of candy corn and poured it into a beer. Oh, no.

4:56 A guy named Sean writes for a website Delish. He liked it enough to have three of them and on the side had some actual candy corn. Somebody else didn't like it as much and said, this is diabolical. And the Shock Top fans were like, y'all will do anything except bring Apple back. Apparently they would like an Apple beer.

5:17 Or the return of the previously released but no longer available pumpkin wheat. There was also pretzel wheat. And those are your five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
