Blogging Halloween: The Aftermath

Vomiting Pumpkin from ShoppingBlog.comHalloween is officially over and the editors at our sister site ShoppingBlog.com have a Halloween Hangover. They carved the vomiting pumpkin pictured on the right yesterday. The pumpkin looks the way many people feel the day after Halloween. It's sad that Halloween has passed already and now the holiday madness is going to start. What makes it even more depressing is that the writers' stike is happening. This means bad things for tv shows, late night talk shows and movies. Hopefully, the strike will be short-lived. Here are a few final highlights from Halloween 2007.

  • Make magazine is running a DIY Halloween Pool to find the best costume.
  • CNET has a Halloween techie slideshow.
  • Brandsizzle posts about an L.A. Times article that says more parents are giving healthy snacks instead of candy. Would kids really go door to door for healthy snacks?
  • Bette Midler was in New York for her Hulaween benefit event. The event raised money for the New York Resoration Project (NYRP).
  • usr/bin/mom refuses to let Thanksgiving be forgotten.
  • Dick Cheney dressed up his dog as Darth Vader.
  • CraftyPod is already starting to focus on Christmas: "These days, I'm always a little glad to have Halloween done with, so I can get on to the thing that really tickles me - the Christmas season." There are only 53 shopping days - or decorating days - left until Christmas.
  • San Francisco's Castro district was relatively quiet.
  • This Where the Wild Things Are costume is very clever.
  • Leftover unwanted candy is something many are dealing with. Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance writes, "Everyone brings in their leftover candy to get rid of it-and it just sits there. Tempting everyone within sight."
  • Former Fat Guy suggests donating leftover candy to an outreach program in your city.
  • You could also sell your candy to a Utah Dentist who is buying Halloween candy from kids. The pay is $1 per pound of candy.
  • This guy went as a green roof.
  • The Daily Intelligencer reports that Union Square was scary on Halloween but not in a fun way.
  • Someone dressed up as the zombie kid from the popular "I Love Turtles" viral video.
  • A tip from Candy Blog: "If you're going to eat something, if you're going to set aside your calories, please, for the love of all that's good and tasty, eat something you like."
  • Paris Hilton appeared at yet another party - the Vegas Club LAX. This time she wore a skimpy military type of outfit. She gets paid lots for some of her partying. Britney Spears managed to find another unsexy outfit. Heidi Klum and Christina Aquilera had much better costumes. Links to more celebrity costumes can be found here.
  • These news anchors were really scared when a group of zombies stormed in.

    Past Halloween coverage can be found here.
