Halloween

If you like watching people being frightened, this is the video for you. A man and his cameraman friend set up shop in an alleyway near Chicago's DePaul University. The guy was dressed up like Slender Man, a creepy faceless man/internet meme...

We hope when people asked Chris Brown what he was for Halloween, he answered, "I'm offensive." That is maybe the only thing that would make the terrorist outfit he donned with pals cool. Of course he probably didn't. Would we be upset if anybody else had done this for Halloween? It's hard to say, because we can't imagine anybody other than Chris Brown being this for Halloween.

Now this is the kind of Halloween story we love. TheFW reader Kevin Fritz saw our post on inspirational wheelchair costumes and was, in fact, inspired. He made this awesome costume of Yoshi from 'Mario Kart.'

Maybe it's the $2,000 wig, maybe it's that we wound up using some really old makeup we found under the sink (thanks, Sandy), but something makes celebrity Halloween costumes seem more glamorous than ours. Here are just a few of our favorites from this year. And yes, that is Ellen DeGeneres dressed up as Sofia Vergara. And Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj. Apparently this year famous people decided that

Josh Sundquist wears a lot of hats. He's a motivational speaker, a best-selling author, a vlogger, former member of the paralympic ski team and US amputee soccer team and the founder of a social networking website for persons with amputations. He's also a cancer survivor, and it was that disease which took his leg at age 10.

Giving up hyperbole was a New Year's resolution of ours, so you can be confident we mean it when we say this is quite possibly the greatest baby costume ever. The little lady is dressed up like 'Aliens'-era Ripley -- operating a power loader!

Happy Halloween all you Halloweeners! Aside from the whole boatloads of candy thing, there are two awesome things we're excited about today: it's socially acceptable to dress up like a disgustingly gruesome zombie in public, and we get to nerd out over jack-o-lanterns. Could it get much better?! Surprisingly, yes.

Aah! Halloween! Halloweenhalloweenhalloween! Just because it's our favorite holiday doesn't mean we can't have a little laugh at its expense. Or our own. Wait who's laughing at whom? What's going on? We ate too much candy corn and now everything is confusing. Happy Halloween, here are some memes!

Videos of old-timey skeleton dances are the best way to get a little spook-ified before Halloween without accidentally soiling yourself. That is a fact -- you can ask anybody. Oh, thanks for asking. Yes, that is a fact. From PBS to Disney and beyond, here are the best skeleton dances EVER to get you into the spirit of Halloween.

If a plain old pumpkin jack-o-lantern isn't your style, or you've mastered pumpkin carving and are looking for a challenge, perhaps consider making a Krang-o-lantern.

When we get older, Halloween becomes less about accumulating candy and more about letting off some steam and having a good time. However, the mixture of alcohol and costumes are too much for some adult Halloween revelers to handle and their celebrations run them afoul of the law.

Between dogs dressed as Miss Piggy and Big Bird looking for work this Halloween season, we figured why not cram our other animal friends into fashionable Halloween get-ups as well? Sure, you're more likely to find a dog parade or a cat fashion show rather than a horse and/or seeing eye pony pageant. But, hey -- farmers and the children of the independently wealthy need Halloween love too right? Re

Shakespeare described the "witching hour" as a time "when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out." Spooky! Equally esteemed author Washington Irving described Halloween night in his classic 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' as a setting full of "fearful shapes and shadows...amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night." Kids all across the country describe it

Hurricane Sandy is being called the storm of the century. Being that it is such an unique weather event, nobody is really sure the extent to which its high winds and flooding will damage the East Coast of the United States. But we may have gotten some insight into the changes to come from a Washington, DC news broadcast. As you can see, NBC 4's cameras captured images of a shirtless horse-headed m

Kristen Stewart is always around vampires these days. She's surrounded by the bloodsuckers in 'Twilight', and rumor has it she's back on with Robert Pattinson, AKA Edward Cullen. So since vampires are a Halloween staple, and October 31st is just around the corner, what better way to help us understand the creepy holiday than by enlisting K-Stew?
