  • Here are some geek pumpkins. Still more geek pumpkins here.
  • A lot of bloggers are linking to the dog in the iphone costume.
  • Candy Blog says most people give out candy that they like: "The truth is that most people give out what they like at Halloween. So if you're getting Mary Janes or Popcorn Balls, it's probably because the giver likes them. This is pretty much true with ALL gifting, but especially with blind gifting. Consider that anyone who gives you something you don't like is following the Golden Rule. They're doing unto others as they'd like done to them. They're giving you Smarties or Starlight Mints because they would want to get them. Smile and say thank you."
  • Moms are great. They can make just about any kind of costume.
  • Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted photos of people dressing up as him.
  • San Francisco closed a popular area of the city to discourage a giant Halloween street party. Portable toilets were still ordered.

  • Alt Search Engines has a list of ten Halloween search engines.
  • Avoid the dancing skeleton game - it is malware. Play the silly Trick or Treat online game or one of several others found by Download Squad instead.
  • Some creepy candy. One of them is called Lick Your Wounds - it's candy made to look like scabs. (via Serious Eats)
  • Etsy ran a costume contest which had some terrific entries. You can see the winners here.
  • Some fake teeth called "Ugly Teeth" have been recalled. They were made in China and contain lead.
