full-spread.jpg

Of course, it’s that time of year again when we make dress into costumes, watch horror movies, and decorate our homes with scary decorations. Not to mention, it’s such a popular holiday that some people look more forward to the end of October than Christmas. Nevertheless, if you’re holding a party at your house, you might want to stay on this blog if you’re willing to withstand the stomach churning, gut wrenching, and unappetizing grub I have on this post. Sure this is the fourth Halloween treat post I’ve done. But each one has featured some disgusting morsels that would scare your appetite. Of course, you might try these terrifying treats on Halloween in order to not displease your horrifying host. But save on the occasional Friday the 13th, you might want to avoid these most of the year, especially Christmas. Well, unless you want to throw a Nightmare Before Christmas party. So for your reading pleasure, feast your eyes on another assortment of some gruesome Halloween grub.

  1. Your guests will get all wrapped up in these mummy Milanos.

But the new Mummy movie with Tom Cruise not so much. Hope you have plenty of white icing for the wraps.

2. People go crawling for some spider macaroons.

Okay, they may not taste like Oreo cookies. But even those afraid of spiders can’t resist these.

3. Instead of a trick or treat bag, how about a trick or treat cake?

Though please unwrap the candy before putting it on the cake. Still, the jack-o-lantern design is adorable.

4. How about you try an eyeball?

Bet these are small candy bites. But yes, you get gruesome food like this on Halloween.

5. Enjoy your Halloween night with some pumpkin hand pies.

And yes, they have jack-o-lantern faces carved in. Though the filling doesn’t exactly look like pumpkin. More like apple.

6. It’s widely said that pumpkin artichoke puke is quite tasty.

I posted a similar puking pumpkin before but it was green. Yet, on the bright side, it goes well with crackers.

7. These spider brownies will make you scream with delight.

Their 8 legs are made from pretzels. While they have large eyes and fangs.

8. No little ghoul could ever resist these Frankencookies.

Well, they’re mostly green and come in all sizes. Though you may not like the gumdrop noses.

9. Refresh yourself at any Halloween party with some shrunken head punch.

The heads are peeled apples by the way. But I can understand why this image would make you puke.

10. These witchy marshmallow pops will put you under a spell.

Each one is dipped in green icing and topped with a cone hat. Not sure what the hat’s made of.

11. Grace your dessert platter with some mummy cookie bits.

All are dipped in white icing with chocolate chip eyes. Has some drizzle to resemble wraps.

12. Send your kid to school with this ghostly lunch.

Has a bunch of ghoulish goodies no child could resist. And yes, the cheese is white and ghostly on that sandwich.

13. Black cat cookies won’t bring you bad luck at your party.

Yes, black cats may look scary. But most of them are just regular cats unlike what the Edgar Allan Poe story.

14. No Halloween party is ever complete without finger breadsticks.

Comes with a cheesy sauce. But these look quite easy to make. Just spice up the tips for the nail.

15. These gingerbread voo doo doll cookies will put you in stitches.

Well, these look quite cute with button eyes and a stitched heart. But if you love Tim Burton movies, these are for you.

16. For a spooky dessert platter, you have to feast on these jack-o-lantern cookies.

Make sure they have pumpkin spice in them. Since such flavor is more appropriate for them. While the notion of a pumpkin spice latte is utterly ridiculous.

17. These eyeball cupcakes is certainly eye-catching.

Each of them contain a lifesaver iris of your choice. But the icing is always white and bloodshot.

18. If you like The Walking Dead, take a bite out of these cookies.

Each of them contains a horrific injury designed to amuse you. Some even have severed attributes. Gory but fun.

19. These ghosts are especially cheesy.

Though they seem quite small to fit on a cracker. Then again, this is a big cracker.

20. Dip your hotdogs in some spider web sauce.

It mostly consists of ketchup and mustard in a spiderweb design. Though the aesthetics don’t look easy.

21. With these cookies, it’s always a trick or treat.

Each one seems to either have chocolate chips or mini M&Ms. Comes in ghost, pumpkin, coffin, and tombstone.

This one has olive eyes and almond slice teeth. Dip goes great with crackers.

23. All eyes are on these monstrous cupcakes.

This one’s eyes are made from licorice with mini marshmallows and mini M&Ms. Still, you might have to put them apart to eat them.

24. These Rice Krispie bars are full of monstrosities.

They basically consist of Rice Krispie treats dipped in icing and sprinkles with eyes on them. Though they’re more cute than scary.

25. On Halloween morning, wake up batty.

These are pancakes shaped as bats. Sure they aren’t black but they’re adorable.

26. Be free to drink your Gatorade from an IV bag.

Bet these were made from a nurse. Comes in 4 different colors. Though I think water will make them more scary looking.

27. These cookies seem especially witchy to me.

Has a green face with black hats. And yes, they’re more adorable than scary.

28. Of course, you might know that some pumpkin hand pies can be used for anything other than dessert.

Though whether it’s savory or dessert depends on the dough composition and filling. These have spinach dip filling and are composed of a savory crust.

29. On Halloween, half moon pies have ghoulish faces.

They’re basically made out of the same stuff the pumpkin pies I previously showed. But their faces are quite eerie.

30. Nobody could resist such nightmarish ghostly fudge.

Yes, stick your teeth in these unearthly delights. Or else, resistance will haunt your appetite.

Yes, we all know they’re considered disgusting vermin that cause diseases. But on Halloween, they’re a delectable spooky treat.

Consists of monsters, mummies, pumpkins, and skulls. But they’re more cute than scary.

37. Dip your chip into some nacho pumpkin cheese.

It’s a pumpkin cheeseball covered in Doritos and olives. Has a pickle for a stem.

Has an ice cream cone as its hat. Though remove the candy corn nose before consumption.

Well, it’s a tear away cupcake cake of a jack-o-lantern. And they all seem like they’re chocolate.

47. Nothing makes a spooky dinner like some spider pizza.

The spider consists of pepperoni and bacon. Also, contains olive eyes.

This one has a more intricate design. But add a spider, then you have a webbed cake for any Halloween party.

51. These iced pretzels make a rather spooky Halloween snack.

Consists of pumpkins, mummies, and monsters. Some of the monsters have chocolate and vanilla eyes.

Okay, that’s pretty disgusting. The blood seems to make it looks worse.

53. For healthier options, perhaps some jello melon brain may suit you.

Well, not sure how much melon is in it. But jello really makes it look incredibly bloody.

54. No dessert can be scarier than an eyeball bite.

Each one is attached to a fork. Because it looks more gruesome that way.

Consists of Oreos with pretzel sticks. Guess the top is made from a Hershey’s kiss.

Definitely the kind you’d want on a cold afternoon. Hope they don’t give you the spooks.

63. You’d find something ghostly inside this cake.

I can never understand how you can put cake images in these without mixing the batters. Also has icing and sprinkles on the top.

64. You’d be spiked for this pepperoni head.

This is a likeness of some horror movie villain I don’t know about. I’m sure this will be a hit for slasher horror fans.

65. There’s something slimy about this snake bread.

These two loaves are dyed with red and yellow stripes. But don’t worry, neither are poisonous. So enjoy.

66. Dare to try some deviled eyeball eggs.

They’re also bloodshot and red to incite more fright. Great for any gruesome appetizer platter.

67. Any witch should help herself to some full moon dip.

The chips on here are black and shaped as witches on brooms. One is on top of the dip that’s mostly cheese.

68. Help yourself to a severed hand pie.

Don’t worry, that’s cherry filling not blood. But you have to cut these pies in half upon serving.

69. No Halloween dinner is complete without a pumpkin baked potato.

Is cheesy on the surface with pepper nose and eyes. The mouth is made of bacon.

70. Everyone should slither to this snake cake.

I’ve had this one in my Halloween treat file for years. At least I get to finally use it this time.

71. You might want to be wary of this ghoulish pumpkin pie.

Well, one of the pumpkins is a normal jack-o-lantern. The other will give you nightmares.

Well, it’s not exactly a black cat. But it does look adorable I wouldn’t want to put that knife in it.

This one mostly consists of cheese with olive attributes. Though cheddar isn’t exactly pumpkin orange.

75. You’d be dumb to ignore these brain cookies.

Well, these are cookies with brains on top. Delectable with any zombie in need of brains.

It’s basically jack-o-lantern nacho dip. Black chips are the eyes and nose. Olives consist of the mouth.

77. No ghastly feast is complete without eyeball bread.

Sure they’re not as disgusting as the other eyeball treats. But the olives are always at the center.

78. Hope you don’t get spooked by a chocolate jack-o-lantern.

Well, it’s a chocolate jack-o-lantern cake. The facial attributes are lined with white chocolate chips.

The Spooky World of Halloween Pumpkin Dioramas (Second Edition)

pumpkin-diorama-feature

Last year, I did a post on Halloween pumpkin dioramas that has caused as much of a sensation on my blog and continues to do so. So I decided to do another post despite having a hard time finding unique pumpkin dioramas like these posted above. And I used all of them in last year’s post. When I discussed the idea of pumpkin dioramas with my mother, she seemed to imagine the pumpkin being part of the display. So she was surprised when she saw the dioramas in the pumpkin whether they come from a pumpkin patch or a craft store. And many of them do have a lot of scary Halloween stuff. But once in a while you might find pumpkin dioramas like these which revolve around polar regions, fairy gardens, and space.  Some pumpkin dioramas revolve around Thanksgiving but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of these Halloween pumpkin creations.

  1. How about a some campfire music with old friends?
Sure they may not want to get out of their graves at the moment. But the music can go straight to their bones or wake the dead.

And here they are gambling behind bars. Seem to have no bones about it.

4. Hope you don’t have to stay in this haunted house.

The house lights up from the inside if you get my drift. Seems like a skeleton answers the door.

5. Just because the house is small doesn’t mean it’s not haunted.

Well, this house is a paper cut out. Yet, I do love how they used moss and trees for the scary decor.

6. Sometimes these old houses could take their secrets to the grave.

Yes, I know it's not painted black for a night scene on the inside. Yet, it nevertheless seems all the more eerie.

7. Don’t mind these skeletons hanging out on the graveyard shift.

"So I said to her, 'Look, we're not getting any younger. At least I you still have your skin while I'm practically decomposing.'"

“So I said to her, ‘Look, we’re not getting any younger. At least I you still have your skin while I’m practically decomposing.'”

8. Hope your pumpkin graveyard includes a scary tree.

And I don't mean one of those Ents from Lord of the Rings. Unless you want to do a Lord of the Rings pumpkin diorama, which this is not.

10. Man, those skeletons sure know how to party.

11. When you see a large skull at night, you’ll be in for a fright.

Now this one is quite menacing. Really like how the one skeleton rises out of the ground and the white trees. That kid will surely need therapy.

12. Guess you can find lots of bats about this one.

This one seems to take a view from the sky with paper bats and branches inside. Amazing.

13. Open the door to this pumpkin and you’ll find a haunted house inside.

You'll also find some pumpkins stacked like a snowman as well as bats on a lite tree. But that's beside the point.

14. Sometimes people would want their pumpkins to contain the sights of nature.

However, they couldn't include a scene of deer mating, fighting, getting shot but hunters, or being hit by cars as would you normally see during the fall. So they decided to go with a deer family scene instead.

15. This little pumpkin contains a real graveyard scene.

Once again, this also features Cinderella and her castle. Why was I not surprised?

20. Even foxes should know not to be alone in a graveyard at night.

Well, I think the fox touch is a bit clever since wildlife frequent cemeteries all the time. Hope it can get through the night.

21. How about a road of black trees into the sunset?

I guess the trees might be made from paper. But I love how they create an arch over the road so close together.

22. This skeleton is by himself with his bones.

Yes. he's on a bench in his bones on a night like this. Hope he didn't die waiting for anyone or anything.

23. This haunted house has really gone to the ghosts.

Well, you have bats around here, too but they seem more part of the scenery. But they're the only living creature you'll find here.

24. Fans of the Wizard of Oz would enjoy this pumpkin diorama of Emerald City.

Of course, I think the flying monkey scenes would've been more appropriate. Considering this is Halloween we're talking about.

25. Using cotton is great for cobwebs and fog.

26. For a fighting mummy scene, an Egyptian scene is necessary.

And it seems these mummies are going at it with each other. Must be in a museum.

27. Seems like these skeletons are having a graveyard smash in the Old West.

Well, it's kind of hard to make out what's going on here. But I'm sure the figures are kind of undead.

28. Sometimes a graveyard might need to blend with its surroundings.

After all, having it a plain orange pumpkin doesn't make it seem any more dead. Also, got to make room for those trees.

29. This skeleton really knows how to make an entrance.

Yes, they really seem to dig a stylish red motorcycle. Then again, it's not like the moped could kill them since they're dead already.

30. Ahoy, dead pirates on the high seas.

Seems like they came across some treasure, too. Too bad they may not be able to enjoy it.

32. Need room for broom parking?

Well, outside broom parking anyway. Inside broom parking space is a closet. Like the spiderweb.

33. This place seems to have become a real ghost town.

Think of it as an Old West town but with skeletons. Why Tim Burton doesn't make a western movie like this I have no idea.

34. It’s always eerie to see bats flying at the full moon.

35. Seems like this pumpkin is under construction.

This one uses Playmobil figures. Must've been made for a kid so it would be less scary.

36. Behold the raven overlooking the unburied graves.

Odd, to have the skeletons all black like they're decomposing. Nice to have a mausoleum, which you don't see in a lot of grave yard scenes.

37. Now this makes a great cemetery entrance.

I'm sure most cemeteries don't have skeleton entry archways. So enter if you dare.

42. Not sure if I could hear the future from this fortune teller.

Like the spider web outfit on the skeleton. Very fitting for a haunted fortune teller.

43. Something must’ve awoken the dead during the night.

Then again, they could be early risers. Of course, it's probably too late for me to say that.

44. Those who enjoy Harry Potter will enjoy these pumpkin dioramas.

Now that looks pretty creepy, especially with the foliage. Love the crow on top. Or is that a raven?

50. This spidery pumpkin has no bones about it.

Well, it has plenty of bones about it inside. But that's just an expression. Still, has spiders for extra creepiness.

The Dark Scary World of Vintage Halloween Costumes (Second Edition)

16e5f77938f8c2ff68fe6d71ac59ca7b

Whether it’s how they made costumes those days, the photography, or what else, there’s some reason why many of these vintage Halloween costumes are so creepy. Some of these can put a slasher horror movie costume department to shame. Sometimes they can be quite strange. Last year, I did a post on these old Halloween costumes and it became a hit. Not to mention, I had plenty of pictures left over that I couldn’t use in the last one. So I decided to do another one for this year. After all, why not? Halloween’s around the corner and I feel people need some distraction from the scary election playing out on our airwaves. Still, vintage stuff doesn’t always consist of cutesy politically correct nostalgia of one’s imagination.Sometimes it might feature stuff that might make you laugh or cringe. And Halloween costumes are no exception. Since there could be a lot of these that may make you shake your head in horror or disgust. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of haunted Halloween costumes from long ago.

  1. Sometimes witches aren’t always in a scaring mood.
Sure they may not be excited for Halloween. But they're nonetheless creepy if you take a good look at them.

2. Here we come to a witch and an African tribesman?

Dude, that's not cool. Seriously, blackface racial caricatures are never okay. Nor are African tribesman stereotypes.

3. Is that supposed to be Donald Duck with a top?

Now that's a very creepy rendition. More like a serial killer dressed as Donald Duck and on a budget. Not something you'd want in a slasher horror movie.

4. Either this is a gnome or the Joker’s daughter. I can’t tell which.

Okay, I think it's supposed to be a girl dressed as a gnome. But she reminds me more like the Joker with a beard and hat.

Okay, I think it’s supposed to be a girl dressed as a gnome. But she reminds me more like the Heath Ledger’s Joker with a beard and hat. Why so serious?

5. For witches, it’s always like mother, like daughter.

Well, they can both scare the bejesus out of you. But I love how they have matching dresses.

6. You might want to beware of walking outhouses while trick or treating.

Well, I knew people had outhouses during those days. But I didn't know they'd dress like them for Halloween.

10. Unfortunately, the original Batman costume didn’t go so well.

36. Victorian Batgirl is always up to the challenge.

However, she doesn't see a lot of action with Batman and Robin. Mostly because 19th century women's fashions weren't built for comfort. Seriously, she could barely breathe in her corset.

The Haunted World of Halloween Village Houses

179f0a33aed914528571b507ce8a72aa

Last year, I did a post on the Christmas village houses which has a long tradition. But you might not know that some traditions that were used exclusively for one holiday could be applied to others. For instance, there aren’t just marshmallow peeps for Easter anymore. Still, other than profit margins, the idea of adapting the Christmas villages for Halloween kind of makes sense. After all, Halloween provides a great opportunity for a spooky village with haunted houses and other buildings. Besides, it’s a very popular holiday that people really get into. And yes, the same companies who sell Christmas village houses are also in the Halloween business. You’ll find not just haunted house collectibles, but also shops with Halloween sounding names, scary figures, and even a gazebo made of skeletons. Like their Christmas counterparts, these little Halloween towns can become very elaborate as well as a very expensive holiday hobby. Yet, like the Christmas villages, there are plenty of people who make their own haunted abodes for their miniature haunted neighborhoods in their home. So for your reading pleasure, I give you some Halloween houses and towns.

  1. Feel free to check into the Bates Motel but you can never check out.
Wait until you meet Norman Bates, a clean cut young man who's a real momma's boy. Also tends to murder women in showers wearing women's clothes.

5. You’ll never know what’s haunted in this Wonderland.

These houses are a mishmash between Halloween and Alice in Wonderland. Then again, I don't think Alice in Wonderland needs a Halloween rendition. Wonderland is creepy enough.

Sure it may be covered in straw and have graves in the yard. But it's lit from the inside.

22. Apparently, whoever lives here doesn’t care for visitors.

Well, it seems to be too small to be regular haunted house. Yet, too big to be an outhouse. Maybe it's just a little cabin or something?

38. What’s that black stuff coming from the windows.

For all I know, it might be a place where teenagers shouldn't hang out, especially if they're the token black in the group. If you're familiar with horror movies, you know where I'm getting at.

Now this one looks a bit similar to one of the other houses I just showed. Yet, it seems to be a Christmas cottage turned into a Halloween one. Not to mention, it seems more lively.

The Little Nightmare World of Miniature Halloween Gardens

group1s

When it comes to Halloween and other holidays, there are some post ideas I reuse on an annual basis since I like them and have proven popular. Then there are posts of ideas I want to try out on my own since I think I should come up with a few original concepts during the holidays. This is a combination of two. As I’ve seen on Pinterest, my post on miniature gardens has proven quite popular since I created and published it last year. And there are plenty of miniature garden decorations available for each holiday season. Halloween is one of these times since it’s a highly popular holiday and pretty much the last holiday before retail outlets everywhere get into their Christmas decorations as if Thanksgiving didn’t really exist in between. Well, at least in the United States as far as I’m concerned. Anyway, it’s not unusual to find mini gardens decorated for Halloween. You might find some presented as tiny graveyards or haunted lawns. Some even have it in autumn fashion with pumpkins. But however these gardens are made, I bring some of them to you.

  1. Sometimes for your Halloween garden, all you need are pumpkins and orange fencing.
Helps if it has vines growing from a bird bath. Really brings out some of the creepiness.

2. This mini garden must’ve been abandoned by fairies years ago.

But the pumpkins seem ripe and everything later looks like crap in the fall. Like the skeleton.

3. When it comes to Halloween some take time to dress their door on the trees.

Since it's fall, the gnomes didn't have to do much to their place. Just decorate the front door for trick or treaters.

Complete with a dangling skull decoration. Still, almost didn't see the graves in this one.

Though not the most haunted house I've seen, the skull posts seem quite scary. Still, like the ghosts and trick or treaters.

Since it specifically states to keep out despite that cemeteries are technically public parks. Love the decor on this.

After all, ghosts must like billowing shrubs and cobblestone paths. Nevertheless, this is charming.

Still, I like how this person did their own haunted house and like how the plants seem to take it over. I think it's very creative.

18. A black pumpkin garden could always cause a sensation.

This is especially when there's a skeleton bench and grave stones. Still, if this pumpkin is real, you might need to throw it out in early November.

The table has some bones on top. But none you'd want to give your dog. Like how the trees are decked for the holiday.

24. Halloween can be such a strange time that you’ll find jack-o-lanterns on trees.

In real life, putting jack-o-lanterns on trees just weighs them down as well as poses a fire hazard. But this doesn't seem too bad.

25. Is that a trail of eyeballs?

Seems like this person got a little creative with this miniature garden. I mean there's a pumpkin with some painted gravestones and an eyeball trail. The cauldron looks perfect for a witch's lair.

Though the ghost always has to bug him. Love the plants near the scarecrow though.

28. The plants seem rather wild in this graveyard.

I guess these are normal plants in a bucket with a large skull and grave stones. Kind of freaky but I like it.

34. Don’t mind the skeleton as you pass the cemetery.

As you might notice, the mini garden decorations aren't always up to scale. Look on how the skeleton seems to be a giant compared to where the graves are and the other figures.

Then again, I wonder if they're supposed to be cobwebs. That might explain a lot.

Scary and Eerily Adorable DIY Halloween Costume Inspirations (Second Edition)

snapshot_20161013_3

Ajax is stronger than dirt, keeping dishes clean and me from having dishwashy hands so my husband won’t drop me for some scheming hoebag who’s never washed any dishes in her life. Okay, it’s not a great rendition of a vintage ad housewife. And I know they didn’t have Ajax dish liquid in the Mad Men era. But I think it’s kind of funny.

 

As we all know, Halloween is a time when we don our costumes with the possibility of going trick or treating, a parade, or a party. Yes, I know that many retailers feature plenty of costumes to choose from. However, as a woman, I have doubts as to how many girls would want a sexy Winnie the Pooh costume or sexy Elmo. Because those characters shouldn’t be sexy. They’re for children, people. Anyway, last year I did a post on DIY Halloween costumes which did quite well during this time of year. So I decided to do another one since I have so many of these costume pics left over. Yes, I know my vintage maven costume isn’t my best efforts since my hair doesn’t hold up. Not to mention, Ajax dish liquid didn’t come out until 1971 though the brand was around during the Mad Men era, an age noted for a treasure trove of advertising I tend to make fun of a lot on this blog. Anyway, I bring you another installment of DIY Halloween costumes if you’re still wondering on what to be for the holiday.

  1. French Painter
Well, he's a pallet, anyway. But this seems like an easy costume with a beret, pallet boards, and a brush. Don't forget the French mustache.

3. Dexter and His Victim

Well, both are easy costumes to make. Yet, it might make people wonder if you two are mentally sound. The plastic wrap is great, by the way.

Seems like a very happy Charlie Brown, which is quite unusual. Mostly because Charlie Brown feels like the world is against him.

90. Freudian Slip

It's the kind of undergarment that screams the words of psychoanalysis. Or when you say one thing but mean your mother. I mean another.

Ghastly Halloween Greetings in the Ghoulish Days of Old (Second Edition)

9a2a2668583e230cd00ec4a0461903d8

Last year, I did a post on crazy vintage Halloween cards that many wouldn’t believe existed. Sure you might think vintage artwork has a lot of cuteness and nostalgia filled images all over it. But there are plenty of vintage cards with imagery that seems kind of creepy or outright insane to modern eyes. Sometimes you’d think the old card companies hired people on acid to design them, which would explain a lot. And Halloween is no exception. Now this witch picture is a rather conventional vintage card image we’d expect from the holiday. Sure she’s on her broom with a jack-o-lantern on her stick and holding a cat. It’s hardly a remarkable image. Yet, if you want to see more like it, then this isn’t the place for you. But if you’re bored by traditional vintage Halloween cards and came for laughs, this is the place. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another treasure trove of crazy Halloween cards.

  1. “When you’re away on Halloween/The world seems then as dark/As lanterns, ere their candles feel/The match’s kindling spark.”
From I-Mockery: "I'm pretty sure that girl is about to get killed by Phanto. She must've stolen his key. (Yes, that's a geeky old video game reference. Deal with it.)" Don't like the looks of this.

From I-Mockery: “I’m pretty sure that girl is about to get killed by Phanto. She must’ve stolen his key.
(Yes, that’s a geeky old video game reference. Deal with it.)” Don’t like the looks of this.

2. “Good luck for Halloween.”

From I-Mockery: "If there's one thing this image doesn't make me feel, it's good luck. Fear the evil albino pumpkin lady." Thanks, lady with the demonic jack-o-lanterns, I'll keep that in mind.

From I-Mockery: “If there’s one thing this image doesn’t make me feel, it’s good luck.
Fear the evil albino pumpkin lady.” Thanks, lady with the demonic jack-o-lanterns, I’ll keep that in mind.

3. There’s no worse bad luck on Halloween than having your path crossed by a black cat.

Okay, did those pumpkin guys try to bake that cat in a cake? Or did the cat just pounce on it to scare the freaky pumpkin people away? At any rate, the cat has every right to be pissed.

4. Always have a jolly Halloween.

I think it would've been better if the kid just kept his pumpkin hat on. Because he's a walking racist stereotype. Of course, you must expect these things from vintage cards.

5. Kids, remember to be safe this Halloween and watch out for creeping jack-o-lanterns during the night.

From I-Mockery: "I'm afraid. That's not even my house that the evil black pumpkinface is peering into, and I'm still afraid." Yeah, that's one of the scariest jack-o-lanterns I've seen here.

From I-Mockery: “I’m afraid. That’s not even my house that the evil black pumpkinface is peering into, and I’m still afraid.” Yeah, that’s one of the scariest jack-o-lanterns I’ve seen here.

6. The man in the moon always likes when witches come out at night, especially if they’re hot.

Yes, the man in the moon loves flying hot witches flying around with their form fitting dresses. This should tell us the that the man in the moon is a perv.

7. “If something scares you and you want to run/Remember it’s only Halloween fun!”

From I-Mockery: "Yeah, remember that advice when the creepy old man invites you into his home for some "extra special candy". Don't run, for it's only Halloween fun!" Also, that little kid is freaking me out. Really.

From I-Mockery: “Yeah, remember that advice when the creepy old man invites you into his home for some ‘extra special candy.’ Don’t run, for it’s only Halloween fun!” Note this is called sarcasm. Also, that little kid is freaking me out.

8. You never know what spell a witch may cast on Halloween night.

From I-Mockery: "Look! She's removing all the dust from her broom and putting it into that pie to feed everyone with! What a bwitch!"

From I-Mockery: “Look! She’s removing all the dust from her broom and putting it into that pie to feed everyone with! What a bwitch!”

9. On Halloween night, be nice to the jack-o-lantern driver and his cart or else.

From I-Mockery: "Remember what that other card said about not running away because it's just Halloween fun? Well, forget that shit. If you see this guy, run... run as fast and far away as you possibly can. If you don't he'll put you in his twisted traveling "pumpkin-man towed by a haunted billy goat" show."

From I-Mockery: “Remember what that other card said about not running away because it’s just Halloween fun? Well, forget that shit. If you see this guy, run… run as fast and far away as you possibly can. If you don’t he’ll put you in his twisted traveling ‘pumpkin-man towed by a haunted billy goat’ show.”

10. “Halloween Greetings! Good luck and good cheer/May these be the spirits that haunt you all year.”

From I-Mockery: "Are those two little guys actually supposed to be the spirits of "good luck" and "cheer"? I only ask because one of them looks like an annoying elf and the other looks like a depressed miniature grim reaper. Not exactly the kind of spirits you want visiting you all year long."

11. Halloween greetings from the children’s white sheet and jack-o-lantern cult.

Okay, I know those are supposed to be ghost costumes. But to me they seem like cult robes. The kids' sinister faces don't help either.

12. Scary skeleton wraiths with lanterns wish you Halloween joy.

No, I don't think you'll find Frodo and his friends here. Also, why are dressed in white and carrying lanterns?

No, I don’t think you’ll find Frodo and his friends here. Also, why are dressed in white and carrying lanterns? And that’s no way to hold a cat comfortably.

13. May you have a Merry Halloween from the garden vegetable patch.

First, why do the veggies have arms and legs? And why does that radish seem waving to me? That's messed up.

First, why do the veggies have arms and legs? And why does that radish seem waving to me? That’s messed up.

14. When carving a pumpkin, make sure a pumpkin head ghost holds up a light.

Okay, scratch that. In fact, you might want to run like hell. Because that scary jack-o-lantern guy might want to kidnap you for a sacrifice with his friends. He really wants to impress them.

15. Halloween is always a time for sharing dark secrets.

The girl is supposed to read this boy's fortune. But I think she's thinking of far more unspeakable evil things to do to him.

The girl is supposed to read this boy’s fortune. But I think she’s thinking of far more unspeakable evil things to do to him. That can’t be good.

16. Ladies, remember that mirrors aren’t always 100% on Halloween night.

From I-Mockery: "Popular witch prank: make somebody think they're a two-headed freak." Yes, kind of looks like it.

From I-Mockery: “Popular witch prank: make somebody think they’re a two-headed freak.” Yes, kind of looks like it.

17. Remember to wallop a black cat this Halloween, kids.

On second thought, that's just cruelty to animals. Best to wallop the kids in this card. Or the creepy pumpkin on the broomstick.

On second thought, that’s just cruelty to animals. Best to wallop the kids in this card. Or the creepy pumpkin on the broomstick. The cat only deserves your pity here.

18. Halloween greetings from the two zombie pumpkins in the patch.

From I-Mockery: "It's like those two zombie pumpkins are just daring the little boy and his dog to hop the fence and grab that healthy pumpkin. That's just downright horrifying."

From I-Mockery: “It’s like those two zombie pumpkins are just daring the little boy and his dog to hop the fence and grab that healthy pumpkin. That’s just downright horrifying.”

19. “Happy Halloween! You best be careful what you do/Jack-o-Lantern will catch you.”

From I-Mockery: "I could care less about the Jack-O-Lantern... I'm more concerned about what will happen if the two little demons catch me." Same here.

From I-Mockery: “I could care less about the Jack-O-Lantern… I’m more concerned about what will happen if the two little demons catch me.” Same here.

20. Happy Halloween from the jack-o-lamp post. Hope he doesn’t catch you making out.

From I-Mockery: "Sure, Jack O' Lantern caught them kissing, what with the lipstick on the man's face 'n all... but it also looks like he caught the guy copping a feel. Happy Halloween, fella!"

From I-Mockery: “Sure, Jack O’ Lantern caught them kissing, what with the lipstick on the man’s face ‘n all…but it also looks like he caught the guy copping a feel. Happy Halloween, fella!”

21. On Halloween, it’s best that pumpkin head people should be on alert for scraggly witches.

Because they tend to gang up on pumpkin people and do terrible things to them. I don't like where this is going.

Because they tend to gang up on pumpkin people and do terrible things to them. I don’t like where this is going.

22. I call this card, “Scenes from a Demonic Restaurant.”

It's where everything seems to come alive but in a way that will haunt your dreams forever. Also, the devil is in the details on the menu.

It’s where everything seems to come alive but in a way that will haunt your dreams forever. Also, the devil is in the details on the menu.

23. If you break up with someone on Halloween, chances are a ghost will haunt your dreams.

Now this is just terrible relationship advice. Because what if you break someone's heart because he was being a jerk? Shouldn't that be permissible.

Now this is just terrible relationship advice. Because what if you break someone’s heart because he was being a jerk? Shouldn’t that be permissible?

24. “Wish you a lucky Halloween.”

What the hell is Cupid doing here? He's in the wrong holiday card. Not to mention, who the hell has a room with floating apples and a pumpkin mirror?

25. Not all jack-o-lanterns are creepy. Some can be especially helpful with finding lost animals.

However, in 2016, this picture of a orange headed guy grabbing a pussy has a dirtier dimension. However, in this case, he really does mean cat. And no he shouldn't grab them by the scruff of their necks. Still pretty creepy.

26. In this game, you can either bite into an apple or a flaming candle.

For the love of God, please bite into the apple. God only knows what kind of sick Halloween games people played during those days.

For the love of God, please bite into the apple. God only knows what kind of sick Halloween games people played during those days.

27. Folks, on Halloween, remember to keep a look out for pumpkin headed children who might steal from your yard, especially the gate.

Now stealing a neighbor's gate is one thing. But pumpkin headed kids doing it, well, that's just insane. Seriously, those kids are freaky.

28. Best wishes for Halloween now let’s watch a love scene with pumpkin people.

Yes, if I were the black cat, I'd wonder if I was totally tripping, too. For God's sake, acid had to play a role in this illustration.

29. “Instead of flying your broom, how about I drive you in my new gourd car?”

Even the witch is like, "I can't fucking believe this!" As if these pumpkin people are freaky enough. Now they're driving giant gourds.

Even the witch is like, “I can’t fucking believe this!” As if these pumpkin people are freaky enough. Now they’re driving giant gourds.

30. On Halloween, a giant jack-0-lantern makes a great make out spot.

Not sure what's freakier in this picture. Is it the couple making out while the jack-o-lantern doesn't seem to mind? Or the gourd people watching it?

31. On Halloween you might see a lot of strange things happening.

Oh, shit, it's the children's jack-o-lantern cult again. And it seems the tree and rock cliffs have come alive. There must be dark magic afoot.

32. Halloween is always full of surprises.

And it seems the clown is freaked out by the pumpkin jack-in-a-box as I am. Hope he comes out alive but I doubt it.

33. Halloween is always a time of great fun.

And it seems the pumpkin head guy is looking at the woman's ass as she bobs for apples near the fireplace. What a perv.

34. If green goblins cross your path, always have a jump rope in handy.

From I-Mockery: "It's Halloween! You know what that means! Yep! It's time to dress up like a clown and a witch and bust out the ol' jump rope!"

From I-Mockery: “It’s Halloween! You know what that means! Yep! It’s time to dress up like a clown and a witch and bust out the ol’ jump rope!”

35. There’s no better thing to do on Halloween than bob for apples.

From I-Mockery: "If you think the girl is up to anything but no good, you're a fool. Those are probably fake apples floating in a vat of acid that you're about to dip your face into."

From I-Mockery: “If you think the girl is up to anything but no good, you’re a fool. Those are probably fake apples floating in a vat of acid that you’re about to dip your face into.”

36. “Don’t pass an owl on Halloween/And good luck is yours if you haven’t been seen.”

From I-Mockery: "If 'good luck' equates to meeting twin pumpkinhead pieces of red corn on the cob witches, I think I'll take my chances with seeing the old owl instead.

From I-Mockery: “If ‘good luck’ equates to meeting twin pumpkinhead pieces of red corn on the cob witches, I think I’ll take my chances with seeing the old owl instead.”

37. Join in the Halloween jollity.

From I-Mockery: "Okay, two things here: 1) I just learned that "jollity" is a word. and 2) That pumpkin is totally going to murder that girl and make the owl watch the entire gruesome act.

From I-Mockery: “Okay, two things here: 1) I just learned that “jollity” is a word. and 2) That pumpkin is totally going to murder that girl and make the owl watch the entire gruesome act.”

38. On Halloween night, remember to hide your head while you sleep. You’ll never know where the goblins or fairies are lurking.

This is especially true if your Halloween candy consists of some very powerful hallucinogens. But these fairies aren't watching over to protect this woman from the goblins, which are also quite freaky.

39. Anthromorphized garden vegetables wish you a joyous Halloween.

From I-Mockery: "When making a card that reads "Joyous Hallowe'en" you might want to have your quality control department double check it to make sure everyone in the picture looks joyous." I think they all want to murder the gardener in his sleep.

From I-Mockery: “When making a card that reads “Joyous Hallowe’en” you might want to have your quality control department double check it to make sure everyone in the picture looks joyous.” I think they all want to murder the gardener in his sleep. But that’s just me.

40. Why should a witch fly a broom when she drive into the sky on a flying corn cob?

Of course, at least she's riding a sustainable vehicle. Still, seeing her flying into space on a winged ear of corn sounds more like an acid trip.

41. Hail Halloween from the jack-o-lantern on the stump.

From I-Mockery: "HAIL! I'm pretty sure that pumpkin has braces. Perhaps it's a commentary on the dental work you'll need after overindulging on candy?"

From I-Mockery: “HAIL! I’m pretty sure that pumpkin has braces. Perhaps it’s a commentary
on the dental work you’ll need after overindulging on candy?”

42. Apparently, black cats freak out over jack-o-lanterns.

From I-Mockery: "While the cat looks frightened, the chestnut doesn't seem to be screaming. In fact, it looks quite pleased with how things worked out. My guess is that the chestnut planned this whole "scare the cat" prank. The lesson we all learned here? Chestnuts are dicks."

43. “We hoot a Halloween greeting to you.”

Pardon me for thinking this. But I sure as hell hope that the flustered owl rips that little pumpkin headed brat to shreds. He has it coming.

44. For witches, jack-o-lanterns make great reading lights.

"Now please let me read where it calls for eye of newt and tongue of dog. It's before preheat cauldron to 350 degrees, cook for 3 days under the full moon, and serves 6. And no, I'm not trying to turn people in to frogs this time."

45. On Halloween, it helps that you steal the gate of luck before the scary floating pumpkins go by.

From I-Mockery: "Well, now we know why they were stealing it... they were stealing the Gate of Luck! Of course! Why didn't I think of that! If there's one thing I like to do every Halloween, it's stealing gates from people's homes!"

From I-Mockery: “Well, now we know why they were stealing it… they were stealing the Gate of Luck! Of course! Why didn’t I think of that! If there’s one thing I like to do every Halloween, it’s stealing gates from people’s homes!”

46. Happy Halloween and please make an offer for the Pumpkin King.

Because if you don't, he'll sure as hell make you an offer you can't refuse. This is especially if he finds you attractive like this woman.

Because if you don’t, he’ll sure as hell make you an offer you can’t refuse. This is especially if he finds you attractive like this woman.

47. A witch sometimes enjoys traveling in a pumpkin boat once in awhile.

From Tracy's Toys: "Where has she come from, and why didn't she just fly, as would have been traditional? Where is she going, in her broom masted pumpkin boat? Is she a good witch or a bad witch? She's smiling, but I suppose that's not a sure thing: the witch in Hansel and Gretel was probably smiling warmly right up to the time she tried to cook and eat her little visitors. Is that cat safe? Why isn't he in the boat too? I'm worried he's going to fall off. And just how seaworthy is that pumpkin boat? Is there any danger of fish nibbling away the bottom? Won't water come through the face holes? Seems like a major design flaw there. This is definitely a postcard that raises lots of questions."

48. Demons always know when to feed more fire to a jack-o-lantern.

And it seems that the pumpkin is craving for more wood. Demons need to keep up the pace.

49. Hope you can use jack-o-lanterns to light up when on the town trick or treating or partying.

From I-Mockery: "If only I had a dime for every single time I've seen this same old scenario take place on Halloween..." Because aren't pumpkins a bit heavy to use as lamps. This must be based on an acid trip.

50. There’s no Halloween frolic like dancing under a creepy pumpkin head.

After the dance is done, it's said that the pumpkin will choose one of the girls who'd later be escorted as a virgin sacrifice. She would never be seen again since.

The Creepy, Crawly World of Scary Halloween Craft Projects (Second Edition)

42043108b60d69524bfd24101269fe80

Of course, Halloween is a very popular holiday which people really get into. You can see this by how so many stores sell Halloween decorations around this time in October. But there are so many who like to make their own as I’ve seen on Pinterest. Last year, I did a post on Halloween crafts which people have done. And I got so many photos from Pinterest that I couldn’t possibly have used them all. I mean there are so many ideas people do for a holiday that’s only surpassed by Christmas in terms of popularity. Well, even that’s kind of contested. Nevertheless, if you plan to throw a spooky Halloween party or just like to scare people on your lawn, then you’re in luck. Because I plan to show you more craft ideas that you might want to see. So feel free to look if you dare.

  1. Ever get the feeling you’re being watched?
Relax, someone probably darkened the portrait and put it into a blackened old style frame. It's kind of suited for a haunted house.

2. Did that cauldron just get legs?

Guess it must be under a spell. Or someone's DIY Halloween decoration. The latter is more likely. Either way, it's brilliant.

3. Grace your front door this Halloween with a raven grapevine wreath like this.

Or crow wreath if you want to get specific. Still, best if the wreath and the birds match in color.

4. Use this mummy doll on your door of you don’t want any disturbance.

Well, that's more cute than scary. Still, if it's a mummy, then why does it have a tie on? And does this make the mummy a daddy?

Well, that’s more cute than scary. Still, if it’s a mummy, then why does it have a tie on? And does this make the mummy a daddy?

5. No Halloween dish table is complete if it’s not made from bones.

Actually, it's made from paper mache. But it almost looks real doesn't it? Might want to discuss this with the neighbors.

6. All guests are welcome at Mummy’s Bed and Breakfast.

Just come on down to toot and come in. And don't mind the walking bandaged people.

7. A Halloween bauble wreath always has to be black and orange.

This one has it in stripes and beads. Not sure if black and orange go together like that though.

8. A black feather wreath has to include a few pumpkins.

And what shiny pumpkins they are, too. Still, though I like the fuzziness, I'm not sure if I'd want to clean up after it.

9. Eeek! There’s a giant spider on that wreath.

Actually that's part of the decoration since it's for Halloween. But try explaining that to an arachnaphobe.

10. For an easy Halloween decoration, try using doilies on unused black picture frames.

Because doilies make great spider webs. Also might make you seem rather eccentric.

11. Mason jars are great for storing crows, spiders, and other creepers.

Well, these are terrariums. But these consist of a crow, a white preying mantis, and some white spiders.

12. A giant spider in the front yard is great for freaking out the neighbors.

Before setting it up, explain to the neighbors that it's not a real spider and won't hurt anyone. Though they might be scared of it anyway.

Halloween Party Tricks or Treats (But Mostly Treats, Sort of) (Third Edition)

44bd6b6bb3a37d1f0998e9d7befc32ae

It’s that time of year again. Longtime readers may remember my Halloween treat posts from 2014 and 2015. New readers on my blog, allow me to explain it to you. In these treat posts, I usually put up pictures of some Halloween treats along with a snarky little caption. Unlike other holiday treat posts, a lot of these Halloween treats are rather disgusting and gross. In fact, a lot of times disgusting is the thing. I mean if you want a scary Halloween party, disgusting food is highly recommended. But let’s not go overboard. Because there are disgusting foodstuff that you don’t want like maggots, mold, worms, or anything the FDA warns against. Or whatever your equivalent to the FDA is in your country.  I understand that a lot of people viewing this blog aren’t from the US. Now that’s fine. Yet, food in the form of skulls, worms, bones, guts, fingers, spiders, and all the creepy, crawly disgusting things is fair game. Anyway, here’s yet another treasure trove of the spooky and delightful Halloween treats for your party.

  1. A goblin cheese ball always makes a scary dip.
Even better how it's made mostly with veggie features. Like the nacho goblin ears.

24. These coffin cookies will surely wake the dead for dessert.

The Horrifically Ghastly World of Ugly Halloween Sweaters

Now I'm not wearing an ugly Halloween sweater here because I don't have one. However, I do have a Halloween pin so I decided to open the post with that. Of course, my mom had to be in the background when I took this picture. Damn it.

While ugly Christmas sweaters have become classic Christmas holiday attire, you can’t say the same about ugly Halloween sweaters (mostly because people wear costumes during this time of year). However, they also exist as well and well before I was born in fact, contrary to what you might see. Of course, you usually see them on school teachers, parents, and people who give out trick or treat candy if you’re a kid. If you’re an adult, you might see them worn by co-workers once you get closer to Halloween. But they do exist and you can buy them wherever you like. In fact, there are plenty of ugly holiday sweaters for any holiday you can imagine. Even Columbus Day, which I don’t even bother to celebrate since it glamorizes colonialism and exploitation of Native Americans and I’m too busy compiling blog posts for what really matters in October. Yes, I’m talking about Halloween. You know scary monsters, haunted houses, dressing up in costumes, parades, and trick-or-treating. All Columbus Day consists of is a free day off and advertisers trying to give you a reason to get off your ass and go shopping. And if I find that there are tacky Halloween sweaters out there, I’m going to do a post on it once I find plenty that I like. So for your reading pleasure, I present to you some ghastly Halloween sweaters you might see.

  1. Let’s start with some orange and beads.
Looks like something a kindergarten teacher would wear. Still, why does the ghost have spots? Oh, i'ts to make it sparkle. Right.

2. Of course, anything can spring out from a jack o’lantern if you keep your mind at it.

Seems like this design was made possible by embroidery clubs and LSD. Seriously, flowers don't spring up from jack o'lanterns. Nor do they have any potential to put flowers in.

3. On Halloween, it helps that you have jack o’lanterns in the pumpkin patch.

Still, that one jack o'lantern at the top doesn't seem to have much of a smile. Or at least a symmetrical one. Looks more like it's playing a harmonica.

4.Halloween night is always the season for trick or treating.

For some reason I find the kid dressed as a ghost quite freaky. Maybe it's best not to show skin on that one. Still, like the spider web sleeves.

5. When it comes to night, you can make it either black or blue.

Let's just say I think the presence of cute teddy bears gives me the impression that this sweater wasn't made for men. Then again, I have seen men's clothing with teddy bears while I was working at Macy's. But still.

6. When it comes to sweater patterns, always go with candy corn, jack o’lanterns, bats, and black cats.

This one has the following but bats. But yes, it's quite tacky and might cause some degree of eye strain.

7. You can’t have too many bats, whether skeletal or not.

Of course, seeing a bat's skeleton while it's in flight isn't a good sign. It might mean that a bat has just taking off after resting on an electric fence.

8. When it comes to Halloween, everyone always loves getting candy.

Yes, we all love Halloween candy. However, I did write a post that specified which candy trick or treaters don't want. And I included candy corn.

9. You’d never know what you’d find while trick or treating on Halloween night.

Not sure if I want to check this house. Looks pretty rickety and I saw a couple of ghosts nearby.

10. Of course, on Halloween, it’s best you go with bright and bold colors.

Now this looks like one you'd see your elementary school teacher wearing. However, at least this one doesn't have any candy corn on it. But the witch looks blurry.

11. Traditional Halloween colors usually consist of orange, black, white, and yellow.

And this guy seems to wear this sweater in confidence despite it looking utterly ridiculous on him. Seriously, he's dressed like the neighbor you can't stand when you take your kids to his house for trick or treating.

12. Nothing makes Halloween better than a sequin vest.

Okay, I'm not sure what to think about sequins in craft projects and decorations. However, this looks like the kind of Halloween vest you'd wear to a disco.

13. Looks like they’re are ghosts coming from that house.

Wonder if these two ghosts have any place to go. Also, there are jack o'lanterns in the pumpkin patch. And it seems that winter came early in this one.

14. If you want to be scary, go with a sweater with skulls.

Wonder what people would think about seeing someone in that one. Then again, it might creep some people out, especially if they're your grandparents.

15. Nothing shimmers on Halloween more than rhinestone spiders.

If you go clubbing or to a rave, this might be the kind of sweater you'd want to go with on Halloween. Of course, this one is tacky as hell.

16. Eeek! Orange spiders!

Yeah, a bright orange spider would creep me out, too. It's simply about as natural as a radioactive one that bit Peter Parker.

17. You can make your own Halloween sweater by sewing pieces of cloth on it.

Yeah, definitely something you'd expect the kindergarten teacher to wear. Particularly the one from Recess who's probably on her way to the loony bin.

18. You can make a Halloween vest from the leftover pieces you didn’t use for your Halloween patchwork quilt.

Now this looks like the outfit you'd expect your goofy, annoying neighbor to wear. You know, the one that reminds you of Ned Flanders.

19. Of course, pumpkin doesn’t have to be the only squash on your sweater.

You can tell this is a Halloween sweater because it has black cats on it. If it didn't have black cats, it might as well be a Thanksgiving sweater.

20. Seems like the owl has to be beside the black cat.

And the cat seems to wear an orange witch's hat. But the owl doesn't look too happy. Also, the house doesn't look that haunted.

21. Don’t know if I like the look on that witch.

I mean her chin is about as long as her nose. And there's a ghost with a lock and chain.

22. Nothing is cuter for Halloween than a teddy bear in a jack o’lanter costume.

Actually, I think a real teddy bear dressed as a jack o'lantern would be cuter than this one. Why I didn't put one in my teddy bear post I have no idea.

23. Heard that candy corn makes great buttons for a cardigan.

Now this one definitely looks like it was made for a teacher. There's just something about it.

24. Beware of the ghosts in the house and the jack o’lanterns in the tree.

Is it just me or do those ghosts look a bit like Q-tips or sperm to me. Can't say which. Also, from the look of the full moon, I think Batman might be there soon.

25. Of course, you can’t go wrong with spiderwebs and jack o’lanterns.

Seems like this guy is embarrassed to wear this. But he can't get out of it because his mother made it for him.

26. Skeletons can dance the whole night long if they want to.

Guess these skeletons really do give bones about break dancing. Hope nobody breaks anything.

27. You might’ve heard of a Halloween sweater. But how about a Halloween dress?

Now this doesn't look very flattering. Something about this tells me that this woman may be thinner than she looks. Not sure what.

28. Heard of a Halloween suit? Now you have.

Now this guy looks all covered in jack o'lanterns. Seems like this was made from some Halloween table cloth.

29. Things are about to get funky at the witches’ meeting.

As if the dancing witches, houses and black cats can't make this cardigan tacky enough. It also has to be in candy corn colors. Kind of disgusting.

30. Three black cats on the fence. Wonder what that could mean?

Does it mean bad luck or just 3 cats sitting on a fence. Either way, looks like the kind of Halloween sweater you'd see on a crazy cat person.

Does it mean bad luck or just 3 cats sitting on a fence. Either way, looks like the kind of Halloween sweater you’d see on a crazy cat person.

31. Nothing like a Halloween sweater where all the pumpkins are stacked against one another.

Of course, one of the pumpkins has candy corn eyes. Another one has a sad face. And then there's candy corn from the sky.

32. Remember that candy corn pants always goes well with a sweater of a witch flying to the moon.

Now this guy really feels like he's rocking in that look. Like he's now the tacky neighbor who gives out candy to trick or treaters.

33. Of course, why have a tacky Halloween sweater while you can make your dog wear one?

Not sure if dressing your dog in a candy corn sweater and hat is the right thing to do here. Seriously, that dog doesn't look very happy in this.

34. Remember to keep your pets safe and warm this Halloween season.

I'm sure the dog doesn't need to wear this ridiculous sweater. I mean it already has something to keep it warm and dry. It's called fur.

35. You never know what you’ll find at a creepy haunted house this Halloween.

I don't know if bright orange makes a great haunted house color. Seems a bit too loud for something that's supposed to look decrepit and old.

36. With a Halloween vest, you can’t have too many bears.

Yes, bears are scary creatures you wouldn't want to run into while in the woods. However, teddy bears are just plain adorable and not scary at all. Yeah, this is a very tacky vest.

37. Heard of a Halloween sweater? How about a Halloween poncho?

And it seems this one is in bright blue and decked with ghosts and bats. Seems that the ghosts are trying to be quite scary. Not sure if they are. Probably not.

38. Nothing makes a great Halloween sweater than a candy corn eyed teddy bear in a costume.

For some reason, the candy corn eyes make this bear look so creepy. Not sure why.

39. Why don’t you say “Happy Halloween” on your vest?

Now this looks like something a teacher would wear. But yeah, the "Happy Halloween" bit kind of makes this sweater a bit more tacky than it would be without the words.

40. Of course, anyone who loves Halloween and Atari will love this T-shirt.

I'd watch out for the green skulls if I were you. They might be zombies and after your brains.

41. Nothing brings in the Halloween spirit than a sweater depicting a headless witch.

For some reason, I thought this was a sweater depicting a burning windmill. And I wondered why the hell would anyone want a Halloween sweater of that? The headless witch idea makes more sense.

42. Of course, if you want style, go with some Halloween houndsooth.

Sorry, but houndsooth is a pattern for business attire. Not for Halloween attire. And bright orange, seriously?

43. On Halloween, you can’t get enough pumpkins and candy.

Of course, this is a colorful cardigan with the candy and all. However, I'm not sure about the pumpkins.

44. When it comes to Halloween sweaters, you can’t ignore the classics such as an orange one with a jack o’lantern.

Luckily for him, he can wear this to a Halloween party and everyone would assume it's his costume. Still, pretty tacky if you get my drift.

45. When it comes to Halloween, I’m sure a skeleton shirt will make it all hang out.

I think this woman should cover up if you ask me. She's showing too much of herself at the moment.

46. If you want to hear some scary stories, you can’t do better than the tales of Edgar Allan Poe.

Now this is a clever sweater idea. Poe is indeed quite menacing in this. Still, wonder if he'll freak out trick or treaters with this one.

47. Nothing brings out the spirit of Halloween than skeletons going boogie at a disco club.

Hope neither ruptures a hip. Or cause any scare among the other dancers. Still, this is quite funny.

48. Seems like this witch has a lot of stuff in her closet.

Let's see. She has 3 dresses, 4 pairs of boots, 4 hats, and 3 brooms. And I thought witches wore the same thing all the time.

49. Nothing says Halloween like a diamond and skull sweater vest.

Now I'm sure such sweater vests aren't seen as cool. Still, this is quite funny. Wonder who'd be creeped out by this.

50. Now this is a great Halloween sweater for any crazy cat lady.

When looking at this sweater do you get the feeling that you're being watched? Or is it just me? Do those eyes seem creepy to you?

51. Beaded sequins always makes your Halloween sweaters shimmer and stand out.

Not sure if the flashy stuff on this makes it look better or worse. Either way, it sure looks tacky.

52. If you like a checkered pattern, I’m sure you can get pumpkins to fit in any shape.

Seems like some of these pumpkins don't like being confined to an unnatural shape. Others seem to be quite square.

53. At night, you’re bound to see an owl on a perch.

Now that looks like an owl you can see from a mile. Still, its feathers have sequins and it's gleaming with starry eyes.

54. Apparently, some dead body can’t seem to take their hands off her.

Let's just say that this is the kind of shirt nobody should wear on Halloween, especially where there's kids trick or treating. Kids might not understand but their parents would. Also, hands are said to glow in the dark.

55. If you want to get festive, you can always go with rows.

Now this one seems to be made in true ugly Christmas sweater fashion. Kids might already see this one among the adults giving them candy.

56. Anyone wearing a ghost costume, raise your hands.

Seems that ghost costumes tend to be the easiest to sew on. Still, doesn't seem like spooky attire if you ask me.

57. You might not know it but ghosts seem to have a thing for spiderwebs.

Not sure what the spiders would think. But I don't think the ghosts seem to care. Still, I'm sure ghosts don't eat candy.

58. You can’t have a Halloween sweater without including a scarecrow.

And there's that teddy bear in the pumpkin costume again. Kind of like the two ghosts though. And the jack o'lantern.

59. Of course, nothing makes your Halloween vest stand out like shiny materials and embroidery.

Now this is just plain crazy. I mean brown ghosts? And what are those green things? Are they supposed to be plants?

60. You don’t get enough of Halloween until you wear a sweater like this.

Now this seems like a tacky patchwork in the making. Still, the pumpkin seems smiling but there doesn't seem to be a candle in it.
