Tyler Card loves to tell everyone about his obsession with digital photography, but when it came time to show the world how devoted he is to being a shutterbug he was left with only one option- become the camera. So, he built himself a working Nikon digital SLR costume and walked around town looking crazy...crazy awesome!
Are You Afraid of the Dark? challenged kids to watch each episode with the lights off, then proceeded to give them a crippling case of Achluophobia.

Eduardo Schaal's classic movie monster art has lots of appeal, and not just because of the groovy ghoulies featured in each piece.
There's something about his messy linework and painterly style that makes each piece cutting edge and timeless all at the same time, and who couldn't use a bit more Frankenstein Monster or Wolfman in their life, right?

The Dover Boys at Pimento University is an obscure Merrie Melodies short by Chuck Jones that only true animation geeks would ever consider consulting when trying to decide what to wear on Halloween.
Well, these students from the School of Visual Arts in New York City have proven they are true toon geeks by dressing as the stars of this short- Tom, Dick and Larry Dover versus that sly dog Dan Backslide. We salute your creativity, geeky gentlemen!

From the beginning, Halloween has been villified by religious fanatics and would-be political activists claiming that dressing up and trick-or-treating brings out the worst in people.
Those of us who have yet to lose our minds know that the holiday isn't to blame, and that often these anti-Halloween activists are far worse than anyone or anything related to the holiday.
Enjoy this absurd propaganda film resurrected from a VHS graveyard somewhere and see how far these haters of fun will go to warp young minds!

It's a cloak, it's a hoodie, it's the kind of look that has Hobbits quaking in their fuzzy little slippers and inspires fear in the hearts of Orcs.
It's a hoodie/cloak/jacket type thingy that was inspired by the Ringwraiths in Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and it will allow you to play Halloween every day withouth compromising your true identity. Enshrouded in darkness, will the streets ever be safe again?

Kittehs wearing costumes are very cute, guys wearing kitty cat costumes not so much...
Although Tard the grumpy cat seems like a great costume choice there's one big problem- making a grumpy face all night will make your facial muscles really tired, and if you believe that old wive's tale your face might be stuck like that forever!
And who let the little Bieber boy out of his cage? It's hard to tell if he's going for ironic or serious, but one thing's for certain- he's not as fiercely feline as he thinks he is!
The gorgeous girls of Victoria's Secret really enjoy playing dressup, so it's no surprise that Halloween is one of their favorite holidays.
Here they are all decked out in scary sexy costumes, looking frightfully good on the one night of the year when it's okay to wear lingerie while walking around town.
Things often get out of hand on Halloween night, and people find themselves under arrest while wearing a costume in a ridiculous situation they'll regret for the rest of their lives.
Laugh along with these unfortunate Halloweenies who found themselves incarcerated without the possibility of retaining any dignity, they've been sentenced to a lifetime of being laughed at on the interwebs!
Carving a pumpkin up for Halloween can be a tedious, and messy, affair that often ruins all the fun when a child's jack-o-lantern doesn't turn out the way they wanted.
So forget all the knives and carving tools and get with the new way of carving a pumpkin- with a drill, or cookie cutter and mallet, or at very least a stencil traced with a nail.
These techniques will take away all the heartache and let you get on with the holiday fun in style, and these centerpieces will look great even on days other than Halloween!
Artist Mike Cantor uses velcro dots to create some spot on stop-animated shorts. Here's more about his video "Freckled"-
“Freckle” is a stop-animated music video, directed by visual artist and computational biologist Mike Cantor, that uses over 19,000 hand-created velcro dots to “bring to life a love song about two objects in space, orbiting and colliding, and the scales that measure their attraction.” Music for the project is by singer and MC Frontalot bassist, Brandon Patton. The video uses an original stop-animation technique which Cantor named ‘Velcro rotoscoping’ where “thousands of colorful velcro dots are arrayed like pixels onto a grid, photographed, and then superimposed one frame at a time onto live-action video.”
Try to keep it together while watching this incredible animated video, it's a ripping good time!

It'll put a bounce in your step and get you ready for the most important part of the holiday season- sports!
