Do you have a Barbie hungry ghoul at your house who is also a fan of Halloween?
Then Mattel has just answered their nightmares dreams with the release of Ghost Barbie, part of the collectible Haunted Beauty series.
She's a little pricey (around $100), but can you really put a price on Barbie's afterlife?

Once you get the helmet together for your nazgul costume, the hardest part is done -the rest is just black sheets. Amazingly, the helmet isn't actually all too hard to make either, at least not if you use this tutorial.
Your child(ren) may be too young to have seen the movies and TV shows these costumes are based on, but that doesn't mean they can't dress for the sake of adult amusement and still have fun trick-or-treating.
But be forewarned- if your kids start dressing all Jersey Shore and like it, you may have a spray tan orange kid with an attitude on your hands!
Have you ever wanted to dress up as one of those cool stonefaced statues on Easter Island? Who hasn't?!
Here's an Instructable by msraynsford that will show you how easy it is to make one of these fabulous big head masks this Halloween. And don't worry, it only looks like it weighs a ton...
Can't Beat Em, Join Em isn't a show full of art created by zombies, as cool as that would be, but rather a show where artists like Jared Wright, Sam Ho and Ryan Milner show off their colorfully gory zombie themed works of art to ravenous art lovers.
The show is being held at the Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, New York where fans of the undead will be gathering in flocks and discussing which internal organs go best with a dry Pinot Noir.
Is this video ridiculously silly? Yes. Full of cheap effects? Absolutely. Nonsensical? You betcha. Totally unnecessary? But of course. Halloween themed? Kinda. But as one YouTube commentor points out about Michael Myers after Halloween "at least he mows the lawn".

In 2011 our friends over at Geeks Are Sexy asked readers to submit pictures of themselves wearing Halloween costumes, and they got so many submissions they didn't have room for them all!
The pics that made the cut are pretty darn fun to look at, so strut your peepers over to the link below and check out all those cool costumes.
Even the best Halloween party would have a hard time getting this much great variety and quality in guest costumes. No wonder Disneyland always feels so magical.

Would you like to experience the thrill of being hunted because of your lycanthropy? This is not the event for you. Instead, the British party company Chillisauce offers the chance to hunt (presumably) fictitious werewolves during a night-long adventure:
Accommodation in military-style bunks is included as part of the ticket price. It is basic accomodation, so please bring a sleeping bag and a washkit.
You will arrive on-site at 2000hrs. You'll get a supper soup and a sandwich to start with, then undergo a safety briefing and get kitted up. If it's wet, you'll get waterproofs.
You'll then recieve a crash course in basic military training - procedures and weapons training that'll save your life (hopefully...). You'll lay out explosive booby traps, utilising pressure pads and trip wires.
Then, head out into the wild on Werewolf hunting missions - don't expect to all come back alive.

The Rocketeer is always a great costume choice, but while you might be able to design a mask from a milk carton or paper mache, creating a rocket pack seems like a much bigger challenge. Fortunately, Instructables has a handy set of directions to make your own rocket pack with materials you probably have at home already.
Sure mutant green cupcakes covered in bones and eyes are already kind of creepy, but when you bite in and a slimy ooze starts to drip, that makes these cupcakes over-the-top.
Give your guests a hand this Halloween- a bloody fudge hand that is!
Made using candy bark, sweetened condensed milk and food coloring, the only thing hard to come by in this recipe is the hand mold, but according to the author Jell-O makes a hand mold.
