Inspired by the secret Big Head mode found in some video games, clever costumer/digital artist Eric Testroete used 3d modeling software and a printer to create one amazing Halloween mask.
He printed out each polygon of his 3d model on cardstock paper, then put them all together with various adhesives to form this glorious example of swollen noggin syndrome.
A good parent holds on to their child's candy stash after Halloween, so the little critters don't eat it all in one sitting.
A bad parent eats all of their kid's candy while holding on to it, then lies about what happened to it all, typically blaming it on some poor innocent pet.
A twisted parent holds on to their candy but tells their kids that they've eaten it all, then they film their kids reaction as the little ones lose their minds!

This traditional Irish jack-o-lantern looks more terrifying than most of the carved pumpkin's I've seen, yet somehow more faithfully represents Halloween's earthy origin.

When putting together the perfect gruesome getup for Halloween it's important not to overlook one crucial element- makeup!
Whether you're applying a bit of makeup detail, or you're going for that fully painted face look, it's one element of Halloween costuming that's often missing from otherwise terror-ific looks.
An overall face paint can radically change the way your face looks, especially from far away, but if you just want to add a bit of color this is one of those rare cases where overdoing it is better than being subtle, after all you want people to notice your work, right?
