Halloween is the best holiday around, hands down. Why? We get boatloads of candy for free, we can dress up as Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and no one will bat an eyelash. Is there anything more magical than parading around in ridiculous garb and entering sugar coma after sugar coma? No way!
Basically once Labor Day has passed, we spend our time gearing up for Halloween, which means apple cider, carving pumpkins, and loads and loads of terrible scary movies. The only problem is that there are bad scary movies and then there are *bad* scary movies, and the only way to tell the difference between the two usually involves sacrificing 40 minutes or so of your life.
October 23, 2012 Hi, my name is Alyssa, and I’m a horror movie snob.
Very few movies truly scare me, but a lot of them entertain me. For example, have you seen Cabin in the Woods? That movie was great. Sure, it was tacky and comical, but at least it was original and unique. But then there are completely bland, cliché movies, like Orphan, where you just want to be like, “Uh, maybe you shouldn't have adopted the CREEPIEST GIRL IN THE ROOM, who's dressed like she’s from the 1800s and painting disturbing pictures in the corner all by herself.”

It's easy to feel ambiguous about Halloween -- so much delight and so much excess, every sign of joy on the face of a true believer paid for with a grim, hobbled, hollow-eyed walk of shame home on one broken high heel -- in my case, a shame specifically because my "Sexy Ripley in 'Aliens'" costume was, like, totally both interpretive and respectful.

Halloween is supposed to be about harmless scares and fun, but the holiday took a truly frightening turn when Federal inspectors recently seized more than a thousand Chinese-made costumes for lead contamination.

There’s one single treat in the history of all candy deliciousness that makes us feel so torn. Candy corn -- we hate to love it and love to hate it. How is it possible it can taste so bad, yet be so irresistible? It’s a Halloween trick AND treat. (See what we did there?)
That pimp sure has a sexy tramp with him! Dogs and their owners have special relationships, so why not dress up with your pooch this Halloween season? Here are a few costume ideas that the two of you can enjoy while trick-or-treating. Don't beg too much!
We've all been there -- just a couple hours before you have to head out to a Halloween party, and you haven't had the time or money to put together a decent costume. Then suddenly, a flash of inspiration zaps you or one of your buddies -- but all too often, the final product is just sad at best, or lands you in the slammer.
Sip on the Dracula's Kiss Cocktail while indulging in a horror movie marathon in celebration of the Halloween season. This is a great drink to sink your fangs into!
Yesterday, we told you about Buffalo finishing 17th on a list of best trick-or-treat cities according to Zillow's Halloween Index. Well today, Zillow released the best neighborhoods within Buffalo to get a monstrous candy haul, so you better get your Gangnam Style out to North Buffalo, which is ground zero to bring in a gluttonous candy reserve.
Sure, animals in Halloween costumes are adorable, but pugs always seem to have the most awesome Halloween costumes around.

We've got a list of the best Halloween pugs in movie costumes from 'Star Wars' to Marvel superheroes and so very much more.
