Chris Brown Was Totally Offensive for Halloween

Emerald Catron — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:37:36 +0000

We hope when people asked Chris Brown what he was for Halloween, he answered, "I'm offensive." That is maybe the only thing that would make the terrorist outfit he donned with pals cool. Of course he probably didn't. Would we be upset if anybody else had done this for Halloween? It's hard to say, because we can't imagine anybody other than Chris Brown being this for Halloween.

Emerald Catron — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:14:43 +0000

Now this is the kind of Halloween story we love. TheFW reader Kevin Fritz saw our post on inspirational wheelchair costumes and was, in fact, inspired. He made this awesome costume of Yoshi from 'Mario Kart.'

Alien Power Loader Costume for Dad and Baby is Awesome [VIDEO]

Tony LaBrie — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:21:55 +0000

I’m a huge fan of the Alien saga, so to me, this is the coolest Halloween costume ever. However, this costume at a party would be a real headache because you can’t do anything except dance and carry a baby.

The Best 2012 Celebrity Halloween Costumes

Emerald Catron — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:42:42 +0000

Maybe it's the $2,000 wig, maybe it's that we wound up using some really old makeup we found under the sink (thanks, Sandy), but something makes celebrity Halloween costumes seem more glamorous than ours. Here are just a few of our favorites from this year. And yes, that is Ellen DeGeneres dressed up as Sofia Vergara. And Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj. Apparently this year famous people decided that the scariest thing is themselves.

Ghostbuster Does Back Flip Off Police Car and Gets Arrested [VIDEO]

Fantone — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:35:40 +0000

There are plenty of reasons to get arrested on Halloween. Drunk and disorderly, stealing little kids candy, putting razor blades in apples, but I’ve never heard of getting arrested for back flipping off of a cops car, until now. First of all, damn, that dude really busted that back flip. Second of all, what an [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:09:53 +0000

Josh Sundquist wears a lot of hats. He's a motivational speaker, a best-selling author, a vlogger, former member of the paralympic ski team and US amputee soccer team and the founder of a social networking website for persons with amputations.

He's also a cancer survivor, and it was that disease which took his leg at age 10.

Get Creeped Out By Zombie Pumpkins

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:47:54 +0000

Happy Halloween all you Halloweeners! Aside from the whole boatloads of candy thing, there are two awesome things we're excited about today: it's socially acceptable to dress up like a disgustingly gruesome zombie in public, and we get to nerd out over jack-o-lanterns. Could it get much better?! Surprisingly, yes.

Elijah Wood Gets 'Cooties' in New Horror-Comedy

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:30:08 +0000

Elijah Wood is really getting into the Halloween spirit. The actor, who used to be associated with Hobbits and tap-dancing penguins, has been immersing himself into the horror genre lately with relish and continues the streak with ‘Cooties,’ a new horror-comedy about murderous children he’ll both star in and produce. ‘Cooties’ was co-written by ‘Insidious’ [...]

Leah Krystin — Zombie Babe of the Day

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:07:35 +0000

We gave our Babe of the Day, Leah Krystin a little Halloween makeover, what do you think? We’d let her eat our brains, any day. When we posted the original version of this photo on our Facebook, you all loved it, duh. Then someone sent us a link to a site where you can give yourself [...]

Tired of Pumpkins? Make a Krang-o-Lantern!

Emerald Catron — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:08:47 +0000

If a plain old pumpkin jack-o-lantern isn’t your style, or you’ve mastered pumpkin carving and are looking for a challenge, perhaps consider making a Krang-o-lantern. Website #MikeVDesign posted pics of the project, and we think it’s an excellent idea. Except for the fact that we can barely carve two triangles out of a pumpkin, let alone turn [...]

10 Costumed Mugshots for Halloween

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:41:09 +0000

When we get older, Halloween becomes less about accumulating candy and more about letting off some steam and having a good time.

However, the mixture of alcohol and costumes are too much for some adult Halloween revelers to handle and their celebrations run them afoul of the law.

Chick Gets a Plate Broken Over Her Face During Halloween Fight [VIDEO]

Fantone — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:49:12 +0000

I’ve been a part of some pretty crazy Halloweens, but this video features one of the craziest Halloween events I’ve ever seen. Watch this video of a woman getting blasted in the face at a crowded restaurant on Halloween. I doubt this is going to top the bus driver punching the woman in the face, [...]

10 Things You Didn't Know About Halloween

Danny Gallagher — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:16:41 +0000

Shakespeare described the "witching hour" as a time "when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out." Spooky! Equally esteemed author Washington Irving described Halloween night in his classic 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' as a setting full of "fearful shapes and shadows...amidst the dim and ghastly glare of a snowy night." Kids all across the country describe it as the night when the entire world gives them all the candy they can eat until they either pass out or develop early on-set diabetes.

Watching Horror Films Can Burn Calories Faster; Which Movies Burn the Most?

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 15:22:11 +0000

This Halloween, most of us will be doing one of two things (or both): Watching scary movies, and gorging ourselves with candy. But you needn't feel guilty after your third 'Friday the 13th' movie and your tenth fun size Snickers bar: a new study has found that watching horror movies can actually burn hundreds of calories! Fire up Netflix and break out the candy corn!

Subway Sandwich Artist Foils Robbery, Throws Soup At Thief in Ghost Mask

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 21:24:10 +0000

Thanks to the seasonal boom in masks and disguises, Halloween is prime time for criminals. That is, unless they tangle with the wrong sandwich slinger… When a 6 foot tall, 250 pound man in a ghost mask barged into a Subway restaurant in Braidwood, Illinois this past Friday, there was no doubt he was looking for trouble. The [...]

The 'Halloween' Franchise – Explaining Movies That Don't Make Sense

Tree Riddle — Sun, 28 Oct 2012 03:22:15 +0000

Sometimes when a horror film has too many sequels, they mess up the details of the backstory. Case in point -- the Halloween franchise, particularly parts 4 - 7. Join us as we make fun of / explain the more ridiculous parts of Michael Myers' history.

Galaxy's Cutest Dog Wears 'Star Wars' Cone

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:41:17 +0000

Dressing up our furry friends means they're usually subject to embarrassment among other pups. However, we think it's the small price they pay for being so darn adorable. That being said, we've already made our Star-Wars-meets-puppies obsession pretty clear, what with the discovery of Ewok dogs and Princess Leia pugs. Could the fantasy flick and canine combo get any cuter?! Luckily for us, yes.

Classic Halloween Scare Prank with Epic Reaction — [Friday Flashback]

Chris Monroe — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:45:10 +0000

These Halloween scare mazes are the best. You really have to use them on the right person and get them extremely focused on the screen. If you can do that, you can sit back and enjoy your friends freaking out. This is the best reaction I have seen so far. Not only is he left screaming "why?" and crying, he also loses control of some key body functions. Hard to tell if it's fake or not but bravo if it's acting.

Not content with typical card tricks or a rabbit in a hat, magician Rich Ferguson puts a spooky Halloween spin on his act by literally losing his head in front of freaked-out spectators. How in the world does he do it? As Ferguson approaches people on the street in San Luis Obispo, CA, he sneezes [...]
