The true spirit of Halloween. Here's the story behind it, but you're probably better off coming up with your own explanation....
And Now, Your Worst Halloween Costume Stories
We were living in Chicago when I was six, and I chose to be a ghost for Halloween. I made the costume myself, because cutting two holes in a sheet seems like an easy task. Of course, I had to cut a third eyehole, because my first two were off-alignment. I also failed to consider the fact that a...
Which Candies Have Have The Most Sugar?
Ostensibly, this chart from WaPo's Wonkblog is about ranking candy by its sugar content so you can consume the maximum amount of sugar, and it does a fine job of that. But looking at it, all I can think about is how everything north of Gummy Bears coming in at a full 70 percent sugar is so much more...
Watch Paralympian Josh Sundquist Make His Fantastic Halloween Costume
Former Paralympian Josh Sundquist now spends his time as a motivational speaker, but when Halloween comes around, he becomes the best costume creator of the holiday. He's gone as a flamingo, gingerbread man with a leg bitten off, and the leg lamp from A Christmas Story in past years. This year, he...
Ray Rice Blackface Halloween Costumes Are The Worst Idea
Dressing up as Ray Rice for Halloween is a bad idea. An even worse idea is dressing up as Ray Rice for Halloween and wearing blackface. ...
The Hater’s Guide To Your Local Halloween Store
Every year, when October rolls around, some enterprising fellow in my area rents out an abandoned Dollar Tree and turns it into a pop-up Halloween Megastore, resplendent with costumes and decorations and fitting rooms that almost certainly now house the Ebola virus. Almost everything in these sto...
Nah, Don't Be Ray Rice For Halloween
I get it; it's cheap and easy. You get an old jersey, some pads, a blow-up doll, and bam: you're the public face of domestic violence. But maybe the recognition you'll inspire isn't worth it? Just a thought....
Here Are 12 Scary-Ass Halloween Movies To Totally Ruin Your Shit
I have always suspected that there is a reason why all of our best holidays come in the fall and winter. Days get shorter, and it's cold and wet out, and all the animals go to bed, and all the trees, like, die or whatever. Winter is a hard, shitty time of year....
We Have A Halloween Cereal Problem
It's Halloween season, now, and if you've taken your keen consumer eye into certain participating supermarket chains, you may have noticed the (for a limited time only!) return of the familiar monster-themed General Mills cereals of yore: Count Chocula, Franken-Berry, and Boo-Berry....
This Dodgers-Themed Dia De Los Muertos Altar Is Awesome
Here's a cool thing that was spotted by our friends at Sons of Steve Garvey over the weekend. It's a traditional Dia De Los Muertos altar that was erected in a Los Angeles cemetery by a family that wanted to honor their cousin. This kind of makes me want to die a Dodgers fan. ...

She even has the challenge flag out and ready. Excellent attention to detail....

Yesterday, we asked our readers to share their best sports-themed Halloween costumes with us. They did not disappoint. The one above might be my favorite, because that fellow in the middle went dressed up as a Buccaneers' MRSA sore. Scroll down to see the best of the rest....
Boo!
I don’t go for horror movies. Sure, I watched a mess of them when I was a kid—The Exorcist, The Omen, and Rosemary’s Baby. I also saw Halloween and Friday the 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I Spit On Your Grave, all that stuff and more. I had a stronger constitution then. Now, I just don’t like ...
Halloween Special: Madness! Torture! Applause!
The legendary Grand Guignol Theater in Paris was not a haunted house, but a serious dramatic enterprise that put on gruesome, faux-blood-splattered shows year-round for decades. It featured staged killings, mutilations and scenes of depravity and torture so realistic that audience members often fled...
Samantha And Christian Ponder Dressed Up As <em>The Sandlot</em> Characters
Guess who loves the 90s and probably also BuzzFeeᴅ. ESPN's Samantha Ponder and her husband, backup Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder....
We Want Your Halloween Sports Babies
Baby Andy Reid was awesome, but do you think you can do better? In the spirit of Halloween, we'd like to see your children dressed up as someone from the world of sports. If you still have a photo of yourself as a child dressed up like a sports figure, that will also be acceptable. ...
