Spooktober is just around the corner and our favorite bootleg crap is filling up store shelves. Costume makers will jump through some amazing hoops in order to not get dinged for intellectual property infringement and the results are pretty awesome. Can we interest you in dressing up as Blue Speed Mouse for halloween? Or how about you favorite Evil Midweek Cutie? For some actually spooky stuff to gear you up for haloween, check out these two-sentence horror stories.

Everyone's trying to make a quick buck and we don't blame em for getting as close as they can with bootleg products without getting arrested for violating some kind of copyright or trademark law. It's basically like a fun game to see what kind of bootleg Pringles people can come up with at this point. Prangles, prongles, you name it.

This could have just been some normal, run-of-the-mill copyright infringement, but it just had to be a weird mishmash of products and brands you'd never need or want. Who remembers the transforming robot from Frozen? Anyone?

Sit back with a bucket of KGB fried chicken and enjoy some of these bootlegs products. We can't tell if they're bad or AMAZING.

In a world where international copyright infringement isn't really enforced, you can get away with a lot of weird crap.

If the intent was to replicate the originals, these off-brands really screwed the pooch.

The holiday season is coming up! You might be able to save some money on gifts by getting your friends and family some of this derivative crap.

With these off-brand halloween costumes, you'll fit right in with the likes of your favorites like superhero Arachnid-Human! Or how about something from the Magical World of  Larry Plopper, the teen warlock!

A few of these bootlegs seem better than the originals. Not sure about Burggers but it's probably got to do with juicy buns filled with Grade-A Beef.

Christmas is around the corner! Still time to get your kid that Parkachoo and a half-off Woody from Toy Story 6.

Stock available. You can still order your Meats by Dre.

How could not love these bootleg monstrosities? 

Grab your Goochi purse, lace up your Air Jardos and enjoy this bootleg bonanza.

We need to get our hands on some of these.

These are not the Jordan's you're looking for.
