Hammer, Metal bucket, 2x4 (with nails sticking out of it), baseball bat (though no one in my house plays baseball, we have both a wooden and a metal bat lying around).
Ha! I was just joking with my co-workers about this. (Yes, we're not the happiest bunch...)Lol, but I recently bought a hair stick and wore it in my hair yesterday, and felt like I could pull it out if I needed to be a secret assassin.
Was totally channeling Rebecca De Mornay from The Three Musketeers. ☺
Barbells. Hoes. Weedeater. Tree Limb Saw (the kind on the pole.) Lawn Mower. Pitchfork. Chains.(Hoes. Heh.)
Darts, stiletto, scissors, corkscrew, bug spray, nail gun, hammer, edge trimmer (preferably battery operated, light and no cord), if you have access to water: pressure washer, and of course the old crowbar.

In Shaun Of The Dead, they use vinyl LPs to frisbee zombies' heads off, which was pretty much the most original use of a household object as a weapon I've ever seen. Also, you could make improvised shurikens out of circular saw blades or a flame thrower out of a deodorant can and a lighter.
Extension cords, box cutters, bleach in a spray bottle, candlesticks,
Mod
I have a garlic press that can be used as a knuckleduster.
Mod
You guys are inventive :)
Mod
Don't forget a shoe. You can really wail on someone with a pair of hard soled dress shoes.
Mod
I'm getting such a laugh imagining you guys running around and thrashing diabolical marionettes and vicious taxidermy creatures with shoes, corkscrews and candlesticks
Cordless drill, propane torch, hairspray & lighter (flame thrower), boiling oil or water (oil is nastier), bleach & amonia, bleach & vinegar (Toxic gas!!!)
hmm if marionettes, forget the bug spray. I don't think that would hurt them any. Fire should though, if you're not afraid of setting the house on fire. How about an iron, hot (better) but cold would work just as well.
A laptop, you could have them be beaten to death with a laptop. Any tech person will see the humor in that.
Mod
My bad - wish my premise allowed for hairspray flame throwers and bug mace ×}
Cast iron frying pan no longer in use.Pokers are, in fact, traditional.
Ed wrote: "boiling oil or water (oil is nastier)"Just to be contrary: neither are fun, but boiling water is way nastier than boiling oil.
Why?
While water boils at a lower temperature than oil (so boiling oil is hotter), water molecules are smaller than the pores on your skin. That means, that while boiling oil with burn the upper dermis to a nice crisp, boiling water will go right through the skin and cook the flesh underneath.
This was a public service announcement by your friendly neighbourhood sociopath...
On my phone. Loads of comments. So, pardon if this has been used.I once saw a pen go through someone's hand in a fight in high school.
Oh! You should definitely look into any/all Jackie Chan movies - the man is a physical comedy genius and he's got a ton of fight scenes where he uses household things as weapons.
Mod
Anybody say shovel or the metal frame for the blinds
Yes, frozen meat does hurt.I dropped a frozen turkey on my foot once :-(
Mod
If anybody knows old-timey toys, it might give me ideas for weapons of chance :)
Mod
heavy ass padlockoh and the leg of a chair, I always imagined that being the most obvious thing to use as a makeshift weapon lol. glass from a mirror/window. wire clothes hangers, heavy textbooks, breakable Christmas ornaments cuz those things hurt like crazy
Mod
"He was beaten to death with a package of frozen Oscar Mayer hot dogs"
My death it has a first name it's Oscar, my death it has a second name it's Mayer. (:

I'm not sure what the purpose of a "heavy ass padlock" is, but I guess it's not as literal as it sounds? lol
I once got one of those giant heavy duty padlocks thrown at me, yeahhh they hurt bad
Old timey toy - Rocking horse! Like the creepy wooden kind. If it's an older toy, then the wood could break and you'd get some interestingly shaped weapons.Also, jack-in-the-box. Chuck it hard enough at someone and those pointy corners could hurt like hell.
Courtney wrote: "Ugh...jack-in-the-box"And you get a comedic soundtrack to go with the attack!
Old fashioned toys? Tops/dreidels had pointy ends. Turn of the century? So there might be horsey type stuff in the shed?
An old hand mixer...the kind you crank. Catch a nose in that and see what happens.
Modern or old, you could beat anyone to death with a pair of my boots.Imagine beating someone with a phonograph. You could use the old speaker cones.
A woodwind instrument.
While it's a little farther from late 19th/early 20th century, Les Paul's first guitar prototype was made out of a railroad tie.
Mod
- things you'd find in a tool shed
- an attic or cellar
- bottom of the closet
Anything feasible for a make-shift/improvised weapon, basically :)
