Tinker Bell is certainly a lot better off in the light on the TARDIS than she is in the lantern in Captain Hook's quarters, but then, she'd still be best off inside the box rather than on the top. You certainly don't want to get bonked with a random piece of time energy. Either way, cute artwork Karen Hallion.

What's the difference between a regular taco salad and a spooky one? Where the tomatoes, sour cream and olives go, of course. Other than that, it's just as tasty!
We've all seen plenty of Doctor Who confectionaries by now, but these cupcakes by The Regali Kitchen are simply delightful in the number of icons they work in. Aside from the obligatory TARDIS and Daleks, they also made Weeping Angels, Oods, 3D glasses, adipose and more!
Sir Stuffington is an adorable kitten who was attacked by a racoon when he was just a baby. While he lost an eye in the process, he hasn't lost his fighting spirit. In fact, now that he and his brothers have been adopted, Sir Stuffington enjoys dressing up as a pirate with his new daddy. You can keep up on the kitten's adventures over on his Facebook -at the link.

Halloween is coming up fast and to get you in the spirit, here are a few stories of some of the most haunted places around. While there are always unverified stories when it comes to haunted places, I’ve tried to cut out any that have been sufficiently proven to be untrue –like the little girl killed by a clothes line at the Whaley House, and to highlight the local legends from the historical facts. So, even if you don’t believe in ghosts, at least you’ll hopefully enjoy reading about the history and folklore of these creepy locales.
Easily the most famous haunted place on Earth, the White House is said to be haunted by the ghosts of William Henry Harrison, Andrew Jackson, Abigail Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Tyler, Dolley Madison, Willie Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln. Harrison has been spotted digging around in the attic, Jackson hangs around the Rose Room, which is the bedroom that he occupied during his presidency and Mrs. Adams has been seen frequently in the East Room, which is where she hung her laundry.
Mary Todd Lincoln reported seeing the ghosts of both Jefferson and Tyler in the Yellow Oval Room. When Ellen Wilson asked for the rose garden, originally planted by Dolley Madison, to be dug up, workers reported spotting the ghost of Mrs. Madison, protecting her beloved rose garden. Periodically, areas of the White House are reported to smell like roses, something frequently attributed to the ghost of Mrs. Madison. Abraham Lincoln’s son, who died in the White House at only 11 years-old, has also been spotted in the building.
The most frequently seen and most famous ghost spotted in the house though is Abraham Lincoln. Among those who reported seeing or feeling the presence of The Great Emancipator include Eleanor Roosevelt; President Truman; Jacqueline Kennedy; President Truman’s Daughter, Margaret; Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands; President Dwight Eisenhower's press secretary, James Hagerty; Liz Carpenter, press secretary to First Lady Lady Bird Johnson; Grace Coolidge; Winston Churchill; Theodore Roosevelt; Tony Savoy, White House operations foreman; Mary Eben, Eleanor Roosevelt's secretary; Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Maureen Reagan, and her husband.

I’ve actually been to the Whaley House and even if you don’t believe in hauntings, it’s hard to deny that the luxurious, beautiful home still has an eerie, uncomfortable vibe to it. Even before the Whaley House was built, there was reason to be wary of the property –it was where early hangings took place in San Diego.

The most famous story occurred in 1852, when a man named “Yankee” Jim Robinson was caught after stealing a rowboat. While his two accomplices were sentenced to only a year in prison, Yankee Jim was charged with grand larceny and sentenced to execution by hanging. If you think that sounds like an extreme punishment, you’re right. In fact, records of the event say that Jim was laughing all the way up until he died, apparently believing that the whole thing was an elaborate joke. When he finally started choking, he certainly started to believe it was real –unfortunately, it was a slow, painful realization as Jim was so tall that his feet were still scraping on the dirt.
Few wedding cakes have an alter-ego, but after seeing this great cake by Stiletto Studio, I realize that maybe they should. Just pull off the cloak and suddenly this ordinary cake is a supercake.
No, it's not another one of those weird Skittles ads, it's actually the newest piece by artist Olga Shvartsur called Grumpy Cat Tastes The Rainbow. Something tells me Tardar Sauce would be grumpy even if she found the end of the rainbow and got to eat the leprecaun protecting his gold there.

Sure Pokemon aren't real, but what if they were? And what if, instead of being modern creatures, they were actually prehistoric monsters? If that were the case, they would probably look pretty darn close to DeviantArt user arvalis' Pokemon illustrations.

We've all seen pictures from all variety of camera angles, but this one is still probably new -tracking the goings on from the perspective of the bouquet. San Francisco bride Danielle worked her GoPro into her bouquet and while she hasn't put the pictures up yet, it will be interesting to know how they turn out.
These kicks are some of the sweetest Nightmare Before Christmas shoes I've ever seen. That's even more the case because they are totally custom painted by DeviantArt user 13LeeLee.
