My neighbor has had Halloween decorations up since August. I’m not trying to be funny — they’ve been up since August. Halloween is now a month away and homes are completely festooned with pagan decorations. Amazing. Time to go with the flow. Here’s my Halloween post from 2005 (link-checked). Unlike candy - it won’t give you diabetes or send you to the denist.

Updated for 2006 (so far)…

First, the music:

Yewknee has a Halloween mix titled Pure Terror.

Download the Son of Monster Mashup.

Then the visual fun:

The Vice Guide to Horror Villains. Not Safe for Work!

Get your own Burger King or Subserviant Chicken mask!

The Pumpkin Gutter is a master of pumpkin carving. Must be seen to be believed.

X-Entertainment is chock full ‘o Halloween. Did you see the new Halloween Peeps that come with their own frosting?!? Now that’s scary!!!

Worth 1000 is running a Pumpkin Photoshop Contest. Digital carving.

For Mac users: Apple-themed pumpkin carving.

And some events:

Annual Weird NJ Halloween Party. Saturday the 28th at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Last year was fun (mostly because I was drunk (and took a cab home, of course)).

The Chiller Theatre Expo is happening this weekend (27th-29th). It’s a must for horror fans.
