Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel went ape last year during the Halloween episode of his show, and the poor Super Mario themed band will never be the same!
Watch him make a monkey out of the talk show biz, throwing barrels and smashing stuff up like a real Donkey...Kong, that is...

A Candy catcher may be nothing more than a glorified, and nicely decorated, candy sack for trick-or-treaters, but your little ones don't have to know that!
All they need to know is that they're spending quality time with their parent(s) creating something cute and crafty, and the better it looks the more candy they'll get.
And isn't crafting with your kids one of the best parts about being a parent on Halloween?
Here's one little Asgardian that doesn't need a lesson in harnessing the power of the mighty Mjolnir, but it's too bad that he figured out how to unleash it's lightning power on his father's car!
Oh well, boys will be boys, even when the boy in question is a young Thor.

N'awlins, or New Orleans to those who ain't Cajun savvy, is a party city like no other.
The Big Easy hosts many massive celebrations throughout the year, most of which involve floats, wearing costumes and a festive atmosphere that permeates the entire downtown area.
This year they're throwing one heck of a Halloween party that promises to have lots of fun activities for adults to take part in as well as kids, including Haunted Tours, a massive street party, Boo at the Audobon Zoo, trick-or-treating and much more.
It's a sure bet that a trip to N'awlins around All Hallows Eve will be a vacation you'll never forget!
Warning- do not attempt to go out on Halloween wearing this Silent Hill Nurse mask unless you want everyone who sees you to go AAAAGGHHH!
Brad Rice of Japanator put together this horribly good tutorial on how to make the gruesome mask you see before you out of toilet paper, among other things, and the end result is a terrifying mask that's sure to give trick-or-treaters nightmares for years to come!
While watching American Horror Story did you ever think to yourself "gee, the outfits those characters are wearing would make great Halloween costumes!"
Between the rubber gimp man, the slutty maid and the man with the melted face your choices of costume inspiration seem slim to none, unless you want to be left alone on Halloween...
Apparently the folks at Target don't agree, and they've released a line of AHS inspired costumes of, you guessed it, the gimp, the maid and the burned man.
So, if you're looking for something really freaky to wear this Halloween, now you have a few choices waiting for you at Target, and one size most certainly does not fit all!
Apparently cartoon characters aren't immune to the zombie virus, although they don't seem to be falling to pieces like most of the human beings who are infected.
Illustrator Andre De Freitas enjoys turning cute little toons into slavering undead monsters, and his white eyed zombies look like they've just undergone the transformation and are ready to chew up the Saturday morning cartoons we know and love!

Here's a feel-good article for the dog lovers of the world, aka anyone with a pulse- these dapper dogs can't wait to show off their Halloween costumes, and you're invited to take a sneak peek!
Twenty five dogs wearing costumes, each one oh so cute and posing proudly, it's enough to make a dog lover out of Cruella de Vil. But don't worry, she wasn't invited to this private screening...
Because many people wait until Halloween is only a few days away to buy candy so they aren’t tempted to snack on it before the trick or treaters arrive, I assume many of you still haven’t hit the stores to stock up on sweets. If you’re looking to get candy that fits the gross and creepy mood of the holiday, then you’ll be happy to hear that I collected some great ideas to disgust your ghoulish guests. If you already have candy or don’t get any trick or treaters, then you can still read about these abhorrent candies and wonder about the sick minds that come up with this stuff.
You’ve probably all seen the Harry Potter jelly beans with such delightful flavors as earwax, pepper and vomit, but these cockroach clusters are equally disgusting although less popular. Like a real cockroach, they have a squishy center with a crunchy shell. Fortunately, these candy versions have a gummy underbelly with a crunchy candy shell on top.
If fake cockroaches don’t do it for you, perhaps real bugs will. Whether you like worms, crickets, ants or scorpions, Hotlix sells a variety of bugs sealed in a lollipop. All of them are entirely edible and utterly icky.

With all the nauseating eating challenges in Fear Factor, it’s only sensible that the show spawned its own line of revolting treats. While there are way too many products to list here, some highlights include slimy gummy octopuses in syrupy goo and gummy frog legs with crunchy bones that come with a blood dipping sauce.
These two little ones deserve a spoonful of sugar just for looking so darned adorable in their wonderful Halloween costumes. The little chimney sweep even accessorized his look with a toilet brush that was painted black.

I know sexy costumes are a popular choice for Halloween, but who knew that displaying your promiscuity for the world would make for such a funny costume?
The One Night Stand is a costume choice that either says "I have a punny sense of humor", or "I have little to no self respect!"
Have fun explaining this one to the kiddies!
Every year ghosts, ghouls and crazy kooks sporting costumes take over the streets of Greenwich Village, New York for the annual Halloween Parade.
As if life in The Village wasn't colorful enough already, the Parade brings in people from across New York that like to let their freak flag fly, and did I mention there's dancing?
Lots of dancing, like in the street dancing...What a fantabulous festive night of freaky fun!
