Halloween Crafts – A few easy craft ideas. I like the simple “spiderweb” doily project.

Pumpkin Smuggler – Where was this maternity shirt when I was pregnant?!?

Night at Karloff’s – Amusing “Nighthawks” riff, available as prints. I rather like the artist’s Dagger, too.

Don’t Forget to Eat Your Spiders – I’m somewhat torn about this; on the one hand, the plastic spiders embedded in this Jello mold look uh-ma-zing, but on the other hand I’m not sure how I feel about sticking inedible objects in food. (Update: An intrepid reader suggests gummi spiders as a subsitute. That oughta work.)

Chet Zar – Artist whose tagline is, “I like to paint monsters.” Yes, yes he does.

Harry Potter Howler – Lovely papercraft “howler” made for a tree ornament.

Friendship is Magic – A short My Little Pony Flash game. As Rob over at BoingBoing put it, “At a certain point, I concluded that it is an unofficial My Little Pony flash game.”

The 13 Greatest Ghosts of Geekdom – A geeky roundup at Topless Robot, which gets bonus points for making me think of the Funky Phantom for the first time in about 30 years.

Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor – Single-serving site dedicated to just what it says on the tin: Female warriors who will neither be hacked to pieces nor frozen to death due to lack of appropriate attire.

Amputee Halloween Costume – This. Is. Brilliant. (More at Reddit.)
