There are tons of things we love about America. Our grand ole’ country cranks out hysterical, nightmare-inducing shows about mini pageant queens and we throw Big Bird into the political scene, for example. But our recent discovery tops them all-- ladies and gentlemen, we live in the presence of the most recent world champion pumpkin grower.
One of our new favorite things about Halloween is funny, candid pictures of people being scared senseless in a haunted house. We had to ask ourselves though, what were they seeing that was so scary? We put our heads together, and we think we've figured it out. Here are our guesses at what was so scary in that haunted house. Because it certainly wasn't a guy in a wolf mask jumping out of nowhere.
Basically once Labor Day has passed, we spend our time gearing up for Halloween, which means apple cider, carving pumpkins, and loads and loads of terrible scary movies. The only problem is that there are bad scary movies and then there are *bad* scary movies, and the only way to tell the difference between the two usually involves sacrificing 40 minutes or so of your life.
October 8, 2012 Well I just checked the calendar and it seems Halloween is 3 weeks away. I have a few decorations out already but I'm a little behind when it comes to the actual pumpkin carving. I have only carved 1 pumpkin in my life so I needed a few tips to know how to make it look good. I actually have a place to display pumpkins this year so I'm gonna give it a go. Here are a few tips I found interesting and informative.
Sure, animals in Halloween costumes are adorable, but pugs always seem to have the most awesome Halloween costumes around. Those scrunched-up little faces of theirs give so much more character to the costume... Oh, who are we kidding? We can't explain it. Pugs in Halloween costumes are just ridiculously cute. We've got a list of the best Halloween pugs in movie costumes from 'Star Wars' to Marvel superheroes and so very much more.
If ever there were a great and almighty pumpkin put on this earth to bring the spirit of the Halloween season to children all over the world, it would be this record-setting melon discovered last week at the Deerfield Fair in New Hampshire.
Wheelchair-bound little tykes such as our favorite ice cream trucker Carter might not be jumping a broomstick this Halloween season, because this just in: TIE fighters get more candy.
Halloween is often described as "the one day of the year where you get to be someone else," and that's why we love it so much! (Particularly, because it usually means that girls are wearing something sexy that they wouldn't wear during the rest of the year.) This rule doesn't just apply to us humans, though. We searched far and wide, and brought you the 20 sexiest Halloween costumes, and their canine counterparts. So tell us: Who wore it better?
You might not have even known you were competing for the title of 2012's Best Halloween Costume, but you just lost. The guy who made this 'Ecce Homo'/ Potato Jesus/ Good Grief, This Lady Can't Paint costume just beat us all.
It’s that time of year again when we apologize to our pancreas and then eat until we're sick -- Halloween candy season! Everywhere we turn, we’re bombarded with chocolate and gummies and sour things and those peanut butter taffies in the wax paper wrapping that no one ever eats. Somehow those things have survived the ages but our favorites have gone by the wayside. It’s bittersweet heaven on earth.
Carter has spina bifida, a birth defect which affects the spinal canal. Because of his condition, the youngster uses a wheelchair.
Being stuck in a chair is obviously going to be tough on a kid. However, last Halloween Carter's dad used his son's wheels to their advantage in crafting a pretty awesome costume.
