Dressing your kids up like one of their favorite movie or tv show characters is a great idea, but dressing them up like a pack of cigarettes is just plain wrong!
Doesn't this guy know that those cigs cause cancer, and no amount of Jack Daniels will drown the sorrow of raising a child who's responsible for spreading lung cancer?!
Before you know it that little guy will be hitting the bottle costume himself, trailing his own lil pack o' cigs behind him.
Be smart this Halloween- don't pass your bad (costume) habits down to your kids!
Here's an attractive young lady who wanted to avoid becoming a sexy costume wearing cliche, so she made this video which cleverly mocks the cheesy, and sometimes strange, sexy costumes being sold online.
Zombie's don't care how sexy your costume is, because they only want you for your brrraaaains!

Most fans of the sugary sweet stuff enjoy a bit of candy corn, especially come fall when the stripey little kernels flow like water from the tap, but what do you do with it all when you've grown tired of the taste?
How about using it as a nostril dam, or an ear plug? These, and many more uses, will suddenly become obvious after scanning this hilarious Halloween comic which was formerly a t-shirt design available on ShirtWOOT.

When a kid is so obsessed with sharks that he wants to dress up as a Wobbegong shark for Halloween you gotta make his childhood dream come true.
That's what mom Jen Shaw did for her little shark fanatic Elijah, and boy does he look happy to have such a crafty mom!
Anyone who has ever gone out trick-or-treating on Halloween remembers having a handful of pennies thrown into their goodies bag, or being handed a toothbrush or apple by their friendly neighborhood dental health advocate.
That's why these lists of the best and worst treats were created- to help prevent us from making the same mistakes and incurring the wrath of costumed kids looking for a Halloween handout.
Kids want candy, not healthy snacks or dental hygiene supplies, so make with the treats and avoid getting tricked!

Anyone who has ever had to clean up a mouse trap after the unfortunate rodent has met its end knows why this is a truly tasteless Halloween costume, and yet it remains a very popular getup for kids and adults alike.
Maybe it's the fact that it's a two-for-one costume, you're the mouse and the trap at the same time, or maybe it's just a fun way for people to show off their morbid sense of humor.
One thing's for certain- the mice of the world aren't laughing!
Telling ghost stories at Halloween is a time honored tradition that continues to make kids and adults alike check under their beds and in their closets before trying to sleep in between nightmares.
Jezebel has collected ten such tales that are sure to scare the bejeezus out of anyone with an active imagination and a fear of the supernatural.
Read on, brave soul, and see if you can sleep with these tales dancing around in your head...

The festive light display you see before you isn't a Photoshop trick, it's the way Walt Disney World lights up their Haunted Mansion ride each year for Halloween.
They really light up this otherwise dismal and drab mansion with festive colors and eerie ambience, if only I could light up my haunted hovel and make it look this good!
When it comes to haunted houses, no two are the same and each one caters to a very specific audience.
Some are created in order to give little kiddies nightmares, others are designed to scare the living hell out of grown folks, and the rest are made as a theatrical homage to Halloween.
The two commercials featured above are catering to very different clientele, but they both look like a ghoulishly good time!
And just for fun there's a super hilarious Snickers commercial featured on the site, so be sure to hit the link for a good laugh.

The Stranger Factory gallery in Albuquerque, New Mexico is hosting a bunch of fantabulous Halloween themed art shows full of magical multimedia tricks and eye candy treats!
The ghoulish creatures in attendance include: Brandt Peters, Gary Ham, Andrew Bell, Yohei Kaneko, Rick Klink and Doktor A, just to name a few.
It's sure to be more fun than smashing a pumpkin over your own head, and much more hygienic! Road trip anyone?

Hallmark stores tend to come up with some rather clever holiday gift ideas, and this year they've outdone themselves by introducing My Pet Ghost in a bottle.
It's a cute little spirit trapped in a bottle, waiting to amuse you with animated spectral antics and spooky sounds, sure to entertain kids (and adults who act like kids) for hours on end simply by pushing down on the lid.
But what happens when the batteries run out?!

Marge and Homer Simpson were spotted taking a stroll down the sidewalks of Waikiki, Hawaii and boy are they looking good!
Homer looks like he's lost a few pounds, and marge is pretty as a picture despite always having to put up with her donut loving husband's childish antics.
This is Simpsons costuming done right, they even got the yellow skin tone down pat. I wonder where Bart, Maggie and Lisa have run off to?
If the Admiral Ackbar costume pictured above is a trap, consider me captured! *eyelash flutter*
This is the finest example of A.A. costuming I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot considering how popular this fish headed fellow is in the world of cosplay.
The full head mask and hands were finely crafted by Mr. Bungle, an artist from Alabama who used the Force to create an amazingly sculpted, painted and extremely faithful rendition of the Mon Calamari, and did I mention this guy's head is animatronic?

Dinner and dessert in a stylish black bento box, this is one classy (and spooky) way to eat a work of art, and it looks like a satisfying meal to boot!
