Shrunken head? Ripley'€™s NY: Believe it

Where'€™s a Black Friday shopper to turn for a 19th century vampire-killing kit?

Believe it or not, the item is part of the Black Friday madness at the Ripley'€™s Times Square Odditorium. It will set you back about US$25,000. At a little more than $19,000 a shrunken head is a comparative bargain. Or the thoughtful gift-giver might prefer a taxidermy Albino giraffe. The price tag is about $1.7 million. Gift-wrapping is not included.

Already shopped out? No problem. The '€œfeatured collection'€ is being offered until Dec. 24.
