Everyone knows that vampires suck … your blood!!!! Seriously though, do you know the history behind modern vampire lore?

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.

Below is a sampling of the funniest guitar faces. We've taken the liberty of cropping out the instruments and focusing on the mugs, so that each pained grimace and euphoric O-face can be fully appreciated. Take a look, have a chuckle and then do your best to forget what you've seen -- otherwise, you may never listen to a Clash or Black Keys record quite the same way.
As Halloween draws near, shut the lights off, grab your pet, a well-worn blanket, and curl up to read about some of the most spine-tingling and frightening places on Earth. As the ghost stories of each place draw you in, be aware of that disembodied footstep or strange rapping noise-it may just be a spirit trying to reach out to you!

Wrestling and rock ‘n’ roll have long been synonymous with one another. Whether it was Alice Cooper’s celebrity appearance at Wrestlemania III or growing up listening to Hulk Hogan’s unforgettable 'Real American' theme, the two go hand in hand.

Believe it or not, most fast food joints and quick service chains actually offer a lot more variety and ingenuity than their menus would suggest -- they just hide it from you for some sad, sad, reason.
Your hair is coiffed. Your breath is a minty collection of Crest, Scope and Ice Breakers gum. Your scent is a dazzling aroma that says “seduction.”
