The Kia Hamsters like to do some serious partying after they're done filming car commercials, and what better way to let off some steam than hanging out on the streets of Austin, Texas around Halloween?
Just don't ask them to be your designated driver, because those scenes were all created using digital special effects. Dancing, on the other hand, is what these hip hamsters do best!
A dangerous beast is on the loose and seeking vengeance against all of humanity!
It's called the Catahedron, and it has been forced to wear an annoying and uncomfortable costume for the last time.
The Catahedron was initially brought into existence by a costumer of felines named maicoh, who has detailed her experience on a website called Instructables, replicating the process so we'll all know what not to do...
She has unleashed this geometric madness upon mankind, will this litter box we call a world ever be the same again?
If you enjoy Halloween-geek crossovers as much as we do then this assortment of finely carved pumpkins will light up your life, and may inspire you to try your hand at carving your own homage to geekdom.
Alex started off the Halloween geek-o-lantern extravaganza by sharing a carved Cthulhu pumpkin, but that was just the preface to this parade of pumpkins!
This strange act of fish themed face painting may not work as a Halloween costume, but it sure does make for some great photos!
I think I just found Nemo, and you don't want to know what he's been up to since he first went missing...
Not every church has turned against Halloween, and some are even getting into the Halloween spirit by setting up fun tableaus on the lawn.
Aside from the fact that Luke looks mighty uncomfortable about Jesus laying hands on him, this is a funny Halloween scene set up by someone who clearly still has a sense of humor about religion.
Experience the terrifying Walking Dead Escape zombie obstacle course from the safety of your seat thanks to the Nerdist Channel's series Just Cos.
They visited the course at the 2011 Comic Con, and caught creator Robert Kirkman running the course like a boss, meaning with a full camera crew in tow.
The zombie apocalypse has never seemed so athletic!

Droid loving geek art illustrator Andrea Gerstmann has asked, and answered, a very poignant scifi question with her latest series of works- what would R2D2 and C-3PO wear for Halloween?
Apparently they would wear costumes very similar to what humans would wear, although R2 looks way better than any human in his Oscar the Grouch getup!

Niagara Falls, Canada is home to one of the most terrifying haunted houses in the world- the Nightmares Fear Factory.
With a claim to fame of over 100,000 people chickening out, these pics of unsuspecting guests losing their minds with fear prove that only the brave should attempt to traverse this terrifying attraction.
It's fun to see people frozen in fear at the sight of something scarifying, but some of the people in these pics must be hamming it up for the camera, or else they're just embarrassingly easy to scare!
Master prop builder Ron McCall has opened the Zombie Combat Zone in Surrey, British Columbia- a nearly 50 acre forest crawling with actors dressed like the undead for paintball enthusiasts to shoot full of color.
McCall is doing his best to bring the zombie movie experience to real life in the Zone, and from the look of it all this is going to be one paintball experience combatants will be telling their grandkids about!
Halloween themed food is meant to look gross yet taste good, so these cakes shaped like body parts fit right in, whether they were made specifically for Halloween or not.
From less morbid shapes like a human heart and a pair of cold sore encrusted lips, to the ugh inducing disgusting delights shaped like a melting human head and worm infested lungs, there's a slice of something sick for every connoisseur of the creepy!
I can't help but wish that this cake uses marshmallow-based fondant because nothing could be more fitting.
Looking for a tasty, but horrific, appetizer plate for your Halloween party? Well then don't miss this great Instructable to make your own "manwich" featuring puff pastry for most organs, white bean dip and hummus for lungs, pâté for the liver, smoked salmon for skin, a cheeseball for the stomach, a beet for a heart, a salami for the colon, and a pickle for the gallbladder. Yummy!

There's a website called TakeBackHalloween.org which is dedicated to promoting the idea of wearing a well researched and empowering costume on Halloween, rather than defaulting to a sexy costume which shows off your body instead of your brains.
They'll show you what it means to dress up like a powerful woman of the past, from classic movie stars to warrior women and mythical goddesses, and the only asset you'll be showing off is what a badass you are!
