If you're one for more macabre presents, A24 has one hell of an idea for you.
The studio is currently selling the creepy occult hand from its buzzy horror film, Talk to Me, in its online store, which means you can have a temporary demonic possession conduit slash incense holder right into your very own home.
Designed by Craighill, the hand looks exactly like the one that terrorises a group of teens in the feature film debut from Australian YouTubers RackaRacka (aka Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou). Having premiered to extreme buzz at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Talk to Me was hands down one of the movies of the summer.
"Talk to Me is a terrifically scary horror offering thanks to powerful performances, creepy creature designs, a splash of blood and gore, and practical effects that'll blow your mind and chill your spine," writes Mashable's Film Editor Kristy Puchko in her review.
One of your classic cautionary don't-play-with-occult-things horror movies, the film follows a group of reckless teens who play around with a mysterious ceramic hand that enables temporary possession of the holder. But when one of them, Mia (Sophie Wilde), takes the whole thing too far (there's always one), it's carnage.
A24's replica of the hand from the film doesn't guarantee fleeting demonic occupancy, but it does function as an incense holder.
"Light it up, let them in," reads the item description. "Designed by our friends at Craighill, the life-sized ceramic Talk To Me Party Hand is the only smoking device (or incense burner!) that opens the door to the other side."
Shipping from Nov. 30 and costing $110, the three-pound, slip cast ceramic arm sits at 8.5 inches high and comes with a black microsuede cover. Plus, it comes the party rules from Talk to Me if you want to give the whole ill-advised ceremony a try.
Want to tempt fate? The Talk to Me hand is available now on A24's website.
