Dressing your kids up like one of their favorite movie or tv show characters is a great idea, but dressing them up like a pack of cigarettes is just plain wrong!

Doesn't this guy know that those cigs cause cancer, and no amount of Jack Daniels will drown the sorrow of raising a child who's responsible for spreading lung cancer?!

Before you know it that little guy will be hitting the bottle costume himself, trailing his own lil pack o' cigs behind him.

Be smart this Halloween- don't pass your bad (costume) habits down to your kids!

Viewers shall be forewarned- puppets may not seem so cute and cuddly after you watch this video!

With all the take-take-take that goes on during Halloween, it's nice to know that someone is out there giving back, even if only in comic strip form!

It would be fun to pull this "prank", but only if you could return to the house and get your candy back!

Here's an attractive young lady who wanted to avoid becoming a sexy costume wearing cliche, so she made this video which cleverly mocks the cheesy, and sometimes strange, sexy costumes being sold online.

Zombie's don't care how sexy your costume is, because they only want you for your brrraaaains!

Inspired by Threadless' "We've Got Some Work to Do" shirt, this great cosplayer decided to dress up as post-apocalyptic Velma. The outfit is great, but I can't help but wish she had a partner dressed as Scooby Doo.

When a kid is so obsessed with sharks that he wants to dress up as a Wobbegong shark for Halloween you gotta make his childhood dream come true.

That's what mom Jen Shaw did for her little shark fanatic Elijah, and boy does he look happy to have such a crafty mom!

Most fans of the sugary sweet stuff enjoy a bit of candy corn, especially come fall when the stripey little kernels flow like water from the tap, but what do you do with it all when you've grown tired of the taste?

How about using it as a nostril dam, or an ear plug? These, and many more uses, will suddenly become obvious after scanning this hilarious Halloween comic which was formerly a t-shirt design available on ShirtWOOT.

Anyone who has ever gone out trick-or-treating on Halloween remembers having a handful of pennies thrown into their goodies bag, or being handed a toothbrush or apple by their friendly neighborhood dental health advocate.

That's why these lists of the best and worst treats were created- to help prevent us from making the same mistakes and incurring the wrath of costumed kids looking for a Halloween handout.

Kids want candy, not healthy snacks or dental hygiene supplies, so make with the treats and avoid getting tricked!

Mmmmmm....bloody, fleshy and cakey goodness. Hopefully they taste just as good as they mimick human flesh.

When it comes to haunted houses, no two are the same and each one caters to a very specific audience.

Some are created in order to give little kiddies nightmares, others are designed to scare the living hell out of grown folks, and the rest are made as a theatrical homage to Halloween.

The two commercials featured above are catering to very different clientele, but they both look like a ghoulishly good time!

And just for fun there's a super hilarious Snickers commercial featured on the site, so be sure to hit the link for a good laugh.

The festive light display you see before you isn't a Photoshop trick, it's the way Walt Disney World lights up their Haunted Mansion ride each year for Halloween.

They really light up this otherwise dismal and drab mansion with festive colors and eerie ambience, if only I could light up my haunted hovel and make it look this good!

Anyone who has ever had to clean up a mouse trap after the unfortunate rodent has met its end knows why this is a truly tasteless Halloween costume, and yet it remains a very popular getup for kids and adults alike.

Maybe it's the fact that it's a two-for-one costume, you're the mouse and the trap at the same time, or maybe it's just a fun way for people to show off their morbid sense of humor.

One thing's for certain- the mice of the world aren't laughing!
