Alrightey, Challenge!rs!! It's time for the Great 2000 Booga Booga Halloween Challenge! Get your holey sheets and brooms out for:

Drop-Dead Decor (Terre Haute, Indiana) -- An online company is digging for Halloween business with a line of furniture that would make the Addams Family envious. Your Coffin Company builds and sells coffins to consumers eager to give their home decor a distinctive flair. The company has devised 101 uses for the average wooden coffin -- aside from the usual purpose -- including as a coffee table, wine rack, bookshelf and entertainment center. "We decided ... this was the ultimate conversation piece. We have a motto that you should get to know your coffin before you're buried in it," said Brad Miller, co-owner of the online company. The coffins, made from oak or maple wood, start at $389 for a basic, no-frills model. Miller said their web site averages about 50,000 visitors a day, some of whom have sought phone booth coffins and even coffin beds.

Go for it, Challenge!rs!!!
