halloween 2013

Ah, Halloween: the one time of year when it’s completely appropriate to scare the fecal matter out of loved ones and friends. If your goal is to make sure children can’t sleep at night, a disturbing urban legend is just the ammunition you need.

A 2-year-old Southern California boy was hospitalized after eating his Halloween candy.  Test results found methamphetamine in the boy's system.  After testing the candy the boy was eating it also was found to have tested positive for methamphetamine.

When I was growing up there was always the fear that someone put a razor-blade in your candy apple or poisoned a piece of candy using a syringe. Well, things these days have gotten a little weirder.

Happy Halloween!  When it comes to Halloween, you can find some really great songs to enjoy your ghoulish holiday.

Candy Corn is one of those candies you love to hate.  Some people secretly love it but say they hate it.  Some people love it and buy tons on Halloween.  Some people hate it, I mean hate it.  No matter what your stance is on candy corn, it has been around for over 100 years and it seems it is here to stay...

Halloween has become a time for setting up gory scenes in your front yard and taking tours of scary haunted houses full of actors drenched in fake blood. Gone are the days of simply hanging a paper skeleton on your front door and carving a few smirking pumpkins. It’s getting scary out there. Especially if you’ve been the victim of an accident and everyone thinks you're just a Halloween decoration,

Halloween is coming up on Thursday and I'll admit that I do pilfer my kid's candy.  I always ask before I take a piece and most of the time he will come up and ask me if I would like some.  I always, always, always pick the chocolate.   However, when I think about it, sometimes these kids get some really bad Halloween candy.

'Dancing With the Stars' pro Julianne Hough is dancing with a whole lot of controversy. The blond bombshell is receiving a whole lot of criticism for her Halloween costume. Hough dressed up as Crazy Eyes from 'Orange Is the New Black' ... complete with blackface, which led to a lot of face palms.

Halloween can be a fun time.  However when it comes to having the perfect costume, sometimes you need the perfect make up.  Here are a few make up tutorials to create the perfect costume for Halloween.

Sometimes in the world of advertising companies can get it right and I give a round of applause to Crest on this one, because this video is hilarious.  The premise a group of kids in their Halloween costumes are given candy flavored like broccoli, beets, tofu and are told this is new Halloween candy.  Get ready to laugh.

I was talking to an acquaintance the other day about Halloween.  I was discussing the fact that I don't think anyone over 12 should be trick or treating.  Then I realized I wasn't alone in this instance.  He was telling me what he does when older kids come to his door trick or treating on Halloween.

So there is a song that is out and it is completely corny and ridiculous wrapped into one package but people love it.  It's called "What Does the Fox Say".  Well a guy took the song and synced his Halloween lights to it and the result is amazing.
