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...

Folks have taken to dressing up like things found on the interwebs these days, and that's why it's important to see where we stand in terms of internet themed costuming.
"But most of them aren't internet themed costumes!" you say angrily as you look through the costumes found at the link below.
I reply "That's the beauty of the internet!", with a sheepish grin on my face. It's a bunch of funny costumes to look at, what more could you want?!

What a fun "gross" Halloween themed lunch you have there!
I see salty pretzel bones, goofy apple lips with marshmallow teeth, a delicious mummy dog, spaghetti worms with blood sauce, and a green pile of goo I can only hope is yogurt.
If you have trouble getting your kids to eat their lunch maybe it's because the food you're serving doesn't look gross enough for your child's discerning tastes...
For some folks Halloween is a year-round affair, and to them I say- make sure your home decor matches your lifestyle.
Eternal Halloweenies need to get their hands on these gross body parts monster light switch plates made by Etsy seller dogzillalives, and then no one will be able to flip a switch in their home without saying EEEEEWWWWW!

It seems like fan art is all "Disney, Disney, Disney!" these days, but once in a while a worthy collection of images presents itself, like this series by Justin Turrentine that imagines what the ending of popular Disney movies would have looked like if the villains had won.
Cruella gets her spotted coat, Ursula has one heck of a meal thanks to Flounder and Sebastian, and the Evil Queen gets a particularly gruesome present in a box.
Here's to the bad guys winning once in a while!

There's good looking CG animation and then there's The Butterfly Effect, a short that is so gorgeous I want to tell the creators Dan Sumich and Passion Pictures to reel it in a bit, because they're making everybody else look bad!
It's about a guy having a particularly bad day, let's just leave it at that...

Lovers of all things Simpsonian should take a gander at a fun new site called the Simpsons Drawing Club, where you'll discover mind melting masterpieces like the drippy drawing above by Sam Taylor entitled "Melthouse".
Sam is joined by artists such as Jack Teagle and Isaac Lenkiewicz, who'll be hanging their sketches up on that there Tumblr site for the interwebs to enjoy.
Simpsons Drawing Club- it's a mighty fine way to kill time between episodes of The Simpsons!

Talk about dangerous looking weaponry!
Wellington, New Zealand based artist Bruce Mahalski crafted these sharp looking dueling pistols out of skulls and small bones from cats, ferrets, and birds, and they look so cool I'm surprised they haven't been incorporated into the plot of a scifi movie yet, like one about eXistenZ...*wink*
They bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "bust a cap in yo..."!
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?
CollegeHumor is known for their crass sense of humor and hilarious videos, so you're probably asking yourself "what's up with the costumes?".
Well, CH hosts a Halloween costume contest every year they call the Costume Party, and you can see pics of the nine finalists from 2011 at the link below.
They're a fine looking group of costumed contestants, but don't take my word for it - ask Mr. Peanut!
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 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.

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!
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...
