As always, this is my favorite time of the year. I save all my haunted and costume related costumes all year long for this very month!

I know I have done it TWICE in the last twenty years, but I’m going as Uhura from the original Star Trek series for Halloween this year. I just need to find one of these things…

The last two times I dressed up as Uhura, I couldn’t find one and felt like my costume was seriously lacking because of it. How can I be as awesome as Uhura without her little earpiece communicator?!

I’m still looking and I hope to find something or make something before the BIG day!!

Whatever your Halloween plans are, I hope they are delightful!!

I laughed out loud when I saw this:

It reads:

If someone tells you it’s too early to be posting about Halloween, stop talking to them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

This is ALWAYS true. Even if it’s July… or November…

My sentiments exactly!

Pop Sugar has a great collection of costumes for women:

I particularly liked Katy Perry dressed up and Jane from the cartoon, Daria:

I liked this costume for sadness

I always love to see creative costumes for girls that don’t involve princesses or perfect people. Girls can be anti-heroes, too.

I’m not one for carving pumpkins, but if you are, here are a ton of cool pumpkin stencils.

• Free Pumpkin Stencils | POPSUGAR Tech

Personally, I prefer those plastic pumpkins that never get gross and rotted, but that’s just me. It seems that pumpkin carving is still a fun Halloween activity that people seem to love. It’s one of the rare Halloween traditions that I don’t really care for…

I found this video clip on YouTube called, The Great Martian War. It was obviously faked, but it looked so good that it confused me.

The only description was this:

On its 100th anniversary, The Great Martian War tells the story of the catastrophic events and unimaginable horrors of 1913-17, when Humankind was pitted against a savage Alien invasion.

It had the feel of a hundred year old film, but something about the way the Martians moved seemed unreal. It was touted as original and I just HAD to know what was going on with this example of creepiness. I found a link to The History Channel, but it still acted as if it were a real thing…

• The History Channel – The Great Martian War 1913–1917

With powerful and detailed First World War parallels, The Great Martian War fuses sci-fi fantasy with specialist factual history to explore the real-world tragedies and unique horror of World War One.

I wasn’t entirely sure it was fiction until I found the Wikipedia entry about it.

• Wikipedia: The Great Martian War 1913–1917

The Great Martian War 1913–1917 is a 2013 Canadian/UK made-for-television science fiction film docudrama, produced by Michael Kot, Steve Maher, and Mike Slee, and also directed by Mike Slee, that unfolds in the style of an episode from the History TV Channel.

It’s a fun movie to watch in a War of the Worlds kind of way. I almost fell for it, War of the Worlds style, but thankfully, Google saved the day.

This costume that makes it look like you are on a real hoverboard is AWESOME!

Of course, it only looks good from one angle and only if you’re standing in front of a black screen.

I absolutely adore these Paranormal Pretzels from FamilyFun Magazine

These Alien Pretzels from Butter with a Side of Bread look awesome, too:

I am not bringing these to the Halloween party, but I REALLY want to eat them. Will one of you guys bring them to the party?! I promise to vote for you for the Best Potluck Dish.

This is a really good tutorial showing you how to make it appear as if you have a reattached hand.

The technique is so good that it is gruesome.

If you are planning a scary costume this year, this technique is a great idea.

WIL WHEATON posted this animated GIF on his Tumblr a long time ago and I saved it for the season!

Happy Halloween, my friends!

This video collection from Top5 was pretty creepy:

The most interesting one is the Webdriver Torso story. I do believe that it’s something that Google uses to test YouTube in some manner, but it is very interesting. Why would they post it? I love fun mysteries like these!

Sean and his friends recently discovered the legends about beings that can be summoned by saying incantations in the bathroom mirror. This list surprised me that there were so many.

I tried to ally their fears about Bloody Mary by going into the bathroom without lights and a candle and saying her name the requisite number of times, but it just scared them so much that they wouldn’t let me say the last one. I remember being that scared when I was a kid and I kind of miss it.

I am so excited about about this movie!

Sean saw it with friends last week and I’m so jealous! I am going to drag that boy back and we’ll watch it together!
