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.

Hurricane Sandy is being called the storm of the century. Being that it is such an unique weather event, nobody is really sure the extent to which its high winds and flooding will damage the East Coast of the United States.

But we may have gotten some insight into the changes to come from a Washington, DC news broadcast. As you can see, NBC 4's cameras captured images of a shirtless horse-headed man jogging through the streets of our nation's capital.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:54:48 +0000

Halloween may be next week, but Brooklyn's 'Hallowmeme' party got the costumed fun started early. The fourth annual event, put on by the folks at Forced Meme Productions, gives people the chance to dress up like their favorite internet sensations. There were lots of McKayla Maroneys and Psys, but people also repped some less-popular memes as well. Skull Trumpet and High Expectations Asian Father both made appearances, and of course there was a 'Gangnam Style' dance-off and plenty of Honey Boo Boos. Here is all that, plus our personal faves.

Between your foolproof stencil of Justin Bieber‘s face and an endless supply of premium 99 cent carving tools, you probably envisioned yourself minutes away from that dreamy pop star pumpkin glowing all over your neighbors’ jealous faces.

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'

Danny Gallagher — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:50:32 +0000

Few cult films have been able to define the term as clearly as 1975's Halloween classic ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show.’ Decades after its release, toilet-paper toting fans still show up week after week at midnight screenings across the globe dressed in fishnet stockings and full makeup. They not only watch the same movie they’ve seen hundreds of times, they also act it out and throw props at the screen. The only way it could be more of a cult is if some kind of live goat sacrifice was involved.

Jo Pincushion — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:44:59 +0000

It's Halloween! That can only mean two things: 1) Scary things that go bump in the night, and 2) girls wearing senselessly provocative outfits. Oh yes, girls in so-called sexy costumes have become as much a Halloween tradition as pumpkin carving.

You know, when you look at the costume and think to yourself, "I didn't think it was possible to sexy up Optimus Prime." Well, you can! Here are 10 that really do exist:
