November Is Here...Yay?

Chuck and Beans are obviously suffering from post-Halloween depression, which is characterized by an acute lack of people dressing up like monsters and nothing to look forward to but a massive turkey dinner.

No wonder the stores are already advertising their Christmas merchandise, November sucks!

Pumpkin Land

Pumpkin Land

What would it be like to live in a world dominated by pumpkin-based lifeforms? You can visit the Dallas Arboretum to find out. There's currently an exhibit with thousands of examples and dozens of varities. A press release states:

The grounds will be filled with more than 50,000 pumpkins, squash and gourds. Guests will find displays featuring 45 varieties at unexpected locations – stacked near the entrance, lining the Paseo de Flores and marking the steps to the Women’s Garden.  

In keeping with this year’s “It’s a Fairy Tale World” theme, Cinderella’s Pumpkin Village comes to life with four houses based on the classic fairytale. Constructed of 1,200 pumpkins and gourds, the houses depict Cinderella’s ballroom, the rooms of Cinderella and her ugly stepsisters, and the Fairy Godmother’s home. Children will be enchanted to explore the houses, and adults will be amazed at the construction details.

The American Scream is a documentary which shows how three guys from Fairhaven, Massachusetts get ready for Halloween, as they build each and every bit of their terrifyingly fantastic haunted house.

The Many Covers Of Bram Stoker's Dracula

Bram Stoker's Dracula is the granddaddy of modern horror fiction, and made vampires creepy cool  well before the Twilight saga made them all sparkly and lame.

Since it's original publication in 1897, Dracula has been reprinted dozens of times and therefore sported many different covers, some more graphically illustrated than others... it's a bibliophile's delight!

Zipper Faced Jack-O-Lantern

Even jack-o-lanterns sporting zipper faces look kind of disgusting, but you gotta admire the talent and craftsmanship that went into making this pumpkin look so horrifyingly good!

It must have taken the carver hours to get that "skin" texture just right, and the fact that the skull beneath the skin has a contrasting bony texture is a really nice touch.

In-N-Out Office Cubicle

Being stuck behind a desk all day can really get you down, so some people like to liven things up by decorating their office cubicle, especially around Halloween.

However, making your cubicle look like an In-N-Out restaurant makes office life so much worse, because it constantly reminds your fellow workers of what they can't have until quitting time- a delicious In-N-Out Double-Double!

Bob Dylan Sings Trick Or Treat Smell My Feet

(YouTube Link)

The comedy stylings of Jimmy Fallon are at their most hilarious when he's doing an impression with music accompaniment, like this Bob Dylan styled cover of the Halloween schoolyard classic Trick Or Treat Smell My Feet.

Adding that Dylan inspired twang to this classic kiddie tune shows us what we were missing during all those playground singing sessions- the incoherent mumbling!

Why We Love To Be Scared

Lucy Knisley is a cartoon essayist with a colorful cast of characters, and her comics often explore what it means to be human.

Her latest comic is called Scaredcited, and it's a delightfully illustrated exploration of what really scares us, under the guise of visiting a haunted house.

It'll make you go "hmmmm....I hadn't thought about that!"

A New Way To Make Friends

(YouTube Link)

Having trouble making friends the old fashioned way? Try making a friend the Doctor Frankenstein way- in your basement with various body parts and a heady blast of electricity.

It worked for the kid in this video by Mike Dougherty, and now this young fellow has a buddy to trick-or-treat with who won't eat all his candy!

Superman Tries On Halloween Costumes

The Man of Steel couldn't decide which Halloween costume he liked best, so he tried them on all and posed long enough for illustrator Mike Mitchell to capture the moment.

Superman is still totally recognizable even when he's dressed as the Tin Man, Harry Potter or Ned Flanders, so how come nobody ever figure out the Clark Kent connection?
