Epic level gamer girlfriend and culinary artist Anna the Red created this healthy Costume Quest inspired dish for her boyfriend, and her dedication to creating food that is not only fun to look at but tasty to eat has made her legendary!
Here's how she made this video game themed dish:

I first made the base of his costume with turkey, then microwaved a leaf of lettuce, trimmed it to fit the turkey and put it on. For the chest plate I sliced a broccoli stem, cut out cheese with a straw and put it on the chest plate.

There's nothing outrightly wrong with bagged costumes, especially if you're pressed for time and money -but there's no denying that some of them are really bad, some are really slutty and a few are a terrible cross between the two. io9 has a great look at the good, the bad and the trampy of the bagged costumes out this year.
Neil Fraser made this Portal Pumpkin to guard his home for Halloween 2010. You can peek inside at the mechanism that made it move and scare the living daylights out of trick-or-treaters.
Perched precariously on its three legs, the turret automatically pans left and right and pitches up and down searching for targets. Inside is a small motor and a system of gears and cams to drive the gun mounts.

It seems that everyone was young once, even that wrinkle faced monster Freddy Kreuger and the rattiest of all vampires Count Orlok.
Monsters are born cute and cuddly, and somewhere along the way they get all possessive and psychotic and people die.

Sometimes us bloggers get free movie screeners, but often those movies are so bad they aren't even worth writing about. Juan of the Dead is not one of these movies. Zeon and I just watched it and agreed that you guys should definitely know more about it, so here is the trailer.
It really was a great parody of zombie films with a touch of social commentary on the Cuban government by its citizens. The comedy wasn't over the top, nor were the politics, but the gore sure was, which made it all the more enjoyable for horror fans. Of course, if you don't like zombie films, you won't like it -but if you don't like zombie films, why are you reading a Halloween blog?
