Dogs and cats aren't the only animals that like to get into the Halloween spirit, even these budgies enjoy doing some tricks for a treat or two.
They're members of the group Feathered Friends of the Great Pumpkin, and they always enjoy taking a group shot with a few of their pumpkin pals!

Clever costumer Stella Hwang created this fun Finding Nemo costume with a bunch of balloons and a Nemo plush.
The illusion is completed when you view this costume from far away and Nemo starts "swimming" around!
The times may be a-changin', but the Halloween fun of wearing costumes stays relatively the same.
Join us as we take a tour of Halloween costumes and sugar laced revelry from the last hundred years or so.
You'll laugh, you'll cringe and you'll soon find out that things don't change much when it comes to dressing up for Halloween!

Even in 1917 dressing in drag was a popular costume choice for Halloween, and since this was a year found smack dab in the middle of World War I dressing in military gear was also a popular choice.
However, the combination of drag and olive drab makes this one group you wouldn't want to run into while you're on shore leave.

A little bunny girl captured on film way back in 1922 in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, and she looks like she's ready to have a hopping good time out on the town.
It's nice to see that DIY Halloween fashion hasn't changed much in the last 90 years.

The band of gypsys shown here look like they're up to no good, and once again they prove that Halloween can be a real drag!
I hope these ne'er-do-wells don't drag their younger siblings down with them, or else 1930 is going to be the beginning of their careers as petty criminals...

A public school teacher from Waterdown, Ontario Canada decided to show her love of Halloween by wearing this festive ensemble- jester style hat, mask, striped scarf with pumpkin medallion and striped skirt to match.
My, don't you look like the cat's meow Miss Crabapple!

Here's a picture from 1946 of a boy wearing what is described as a "cockney style outfit", which looks a bit disco biker to me.
And is that a real live bird on his shoulder? This kid's got a lot of moxy, I tell ya what...
Once upon a time you dropped your money in the slot and pulled for a pack of cigarettes, now these renovated cig machines dole out miniature works of art.
They've been converted by Clark Whittington, of Artists-In-Cellophane out of North Carolina, since 1997, and I hope one makes its way to one of my neighborhood bars!
The "smoke 'em if you got 'em" days may be long gone, but these diner and barroom fixtures live on.

This stunning portrait of a fiery redheaded girl is by Samuel Silva, an illustrator who really knows his way around a ball point pen!
Samuel's use of color elevates his works above the standard realistic portraits rendered in black ink, and adds to the realism and warmth of each piece.
This video shows a flying (hovering, really) bike created by Aerofex floating across the desert floor, proving that our Star Wars landspeeder/speeder bike dreams will soon be coming true.
It can go as fast as 30 mph, and as high as 15 feet off the ground, and once they've supplied the military Aerofex is going to release these hoverbikes for sale to the public.
Aside from all the dust this thing kicks up it looks like a fun ride!

Retro computer junk is all the rage in the world of geeky electronic music, so when I saw a video posted by MrSolidSnake745 in which the Ghostbusters theme song is played by eight floppy drives I thought "why not?"
Now that I've watched the video I know what the buzz is about- this is the best floppy drive rendition I've ever heard, and that's saying a lot considering how many of these silly floppy styled videos are on the interwebs!

Cat lover and YouTuber herbertcosta decided to edit together clips of his cat "singing" into a feline rendition of the Game Of Thrones theme song.
Silly humans, keep watching those kitteh videos while the furry fiends enact their plan to take over the world!

Why throw all those old, scratched CDs away when you can make awesome works of art with them!
This detailed portrait of Bob Marley was created by Mirco Pagano and Moreno De Turco, and it's made out of discarded Bob Marley CDs that were no longer jammin'.
Hit the link and check out the rest of the rock icons rendered as CD sculptures, it's better than using them as coasters!
Artist Andrew Wilson created this colorful and incredibly detailed illustration dedicated to the hit movies that came out in 1988, appropirately enough for the Gallery 1988's show called Crazy 4 Cult 6.
A lot of great movies came out in 1988, which one of the flicks pictured above is your favorite?

This is the strangest case of plumber's crack I've ever seen!
This creative pumpkin carving contest participant cut down on the carving time in favor of putting together this tongue-in-cheek art installation.
Now where did my wrench go?

Set up a graveyard full of zombie dolls on your front lawn and see if any kids are brave enough to ring your doorbell on Halloween!
Spotted by brewbooks of Seattle, Washington.
(Spoiler Alert-If you really wanna see Timothy Green spoiler-free, watch this hilarious video after you see the movie)
Somebody told these kids that The Odd Life Of Timothy Green is the "feel good movie of the summer", so they begged their parents to take them.
Now their young lives are ruined and there's nothing their parents, Disney or anybody else can do about it!

These fun Pixar's Cars themed internal anatomy illustrations are by Jake Parker, and I think they just made the whole talking car thing a bit creepier.
Jake's illustrations have come a long way from their humble beginnings back in 2008 (link below), and I hope he creates one of these cool diagram for every character.
One question comes to mind when I look at these drawings- do the dealerships scoop the brains out of the vehicles before they sell them, or is that procedure dealt with at the factory?
