Whether it's suggesting you name babies after heavy metal bands, making a zombie-themed infomerical or holding a disgusting taste tests, Liquid Death is a brand that seems to have a neverending supply of eye-catching bizarre ideas.

Its latest is to team up with an unlikely pitchwoman, Martha Stewart, to launch a novelty candle for Halloween. But this is no Gwyneth Paltrow-style wellness campaign. "The Dismembered Moments Luxury Candle" is black, unscented and comes in the shape of a life-size severed hand gripping a Liquid Death can, all in black decorated with a red wick. 

Stewart demonstrates how it's "made" in a blood-spattered video in which she severs the hands of a number of unsuspecting victims who just want to be in a Martha Stewart video. Look away if you're squeamish. Stewart, who seems to be game for anything these days, looks like she had great fun doing it, and is selling the candle exclusively on her website for $58.

The campaign was created in-house with the video directed by Bonnie Dennison and Alison Barton.
