October 25, 2012 With Halloween creeping closer, it is said that the veil between the land of the living and the realm of the dead is at its thinnest. Shows like 'Ghost Hunters' and 'Destination Truth' have popularized the idea of capturing phantoms with the use of technology. Ghosts have become less of a scary, mysterious apparitions to something we watch on YouTube to waste two minutes.
You GUYS! It's almost Halloween! We sincerely love Halloween around here, in case you hadn't noticed. Here's one way we've been getting into the spirit of the season -- awesome Halloween light shows. Some of them are more traditional ('The Haunted Manion,' 'Monster Mash'), whereas other are scary in a more timely way -- what could be more terrifying than a giant light-up neon pumpkin singing 'Call Me Maybe'?
A few weeks back, a tiny baby burrito kicked off our craving for kids dressed in food costumes. (Not for actual baby. We're not zombies or anything.) It’s such a simple concept, yet it yields such hilarious results. Talk about Halloween genius at its finest. Luckily, we can continue laughing and aww-ing over miniature tasty attire, thanks to the ‘Babies in Food Costumes’ Tumblr.
After being poisoned and buried in a shallow grave, a Jack Russell terrier was recently brought back from the dead with a little help from a Good Samaritan and a local veterinarian.
We’re self-proclaimed Halloween geeks. But honestly, how can you not be? There are so many ways to celebrate the holiday that by the time October 31st rolls around, our entire lives are defined by creepy stuff and ridiculous garb. Our pets aren’t big fans of the festive takeover, but that’s never stopped us from dressing them up as a turkey dog!
Halloween is more steeped in tradition than just about any other holiday, and the roots of those traditions are as varied and seemingly unconnected as a pumpkin and a bonfire.
We decided to take a look at a few of Halloween's most well-known customs. What do they all mean? Why do we celebrate Halloween by putting on bizarre outfits and asking strangers for candy? Who is Stingy Jack, and why does he haunt our dreams?
The window washers at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN, kind of make 'Patch Adams' seem like a big old meany. Two of the hospital's three-man window washing team dressed up like Spider-Man, and then rappelled down the side of the building, lifting childrens' spirits while cleaning windows. But yeah, a clown nose is good too.
Halloween is the best holiday around, hands down. Why? We get boatloads of candy for free, we can dress up as Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and no one will bat an eyelash. Is there anything more magical than parading around in ridiculous garb and entering sugar coma after sugar coma? No way!
Few things are better than dressing up our pets. How can you resist a Michael Jackson puppy or an Avengers pug? Costumed pets are probably the best part of Halloween. But just because we love it doesn't mean they do. Especially cats. Who knew these little guys were such Halloween-haters? Check out these 15 cats hating on Halloween
October 19, 2012 Even though a lot of guys I know (myself included) don't like to dress up for halloween, sometimes we get dragged into dressing up in some kind of themed outfit with our wives or girlfriends. So if you're a couple looking for a COUPLES COSTUME idea, here are 14 ideas that are hot for 2012
When we think of fall, several things come immediately to mind -- cooling temperatures, turning leaves, costumes, candy and turkey dinner. But nothing evokes the season more than pumpkin pie, especially with a generous dollop of waist-expanding whipped cream. With its velvety texture and rich flavor, what's not to love?
Thanks to Mitt Romney and a bunch of merry meme makers, Big Bird is hot. Thanks to the novelty costume makers at Yandy.com, Big Bird is sexy. Ick.
