Happy Halloween! If you or one of your little one are going trick or treating we put together a list to help you stay safe this Halloween.

Watch out for cars!
Wear light colored costumes and carry a flashlight during dusk and after dark.
Painted faces are better than masks. Masks can block a child’s vision.
Costumes should be sized right to avoid tripping over hems or “too big” shoes.
Stick to a pre-planned route – especially important if your goblins are out on their own.
Bring all goodies home for inspection before sampling!!

Keep it spooky and have fun!

I know Halloween is still a little ways away but I decided because we deal with ghosts and other scary paranormal issues on this site each and every day that maybe it was time to do some thing fun. I was searching the internet for a few ideas of what to be this Halloween when I came across this list of popular Halloween costumes for 2010.

Top 3 Costumes for 2010 in no particular order

1) Lady Gaga Halloween Costume.  Yeah I really can see myself wearing this one. LOL. For those who don’t have any idea what I look like I’m a big hairy guy so trust me I could almost forgo the costume and claim I’m wearing a werewolf costume and people may actually believe me. So a lady Gaga costume might me a popular costume just not for me. But if you want to know more it’s a red satin asymmetrical catsuit with lace torso and oversized bow accent, single lace thigh high, single fingerless glove, and eye mask. If you like this then you may like this…

2) Mad Hatter Costume. Now this is more like it. I loved the movie Alica and I thought Johny Depp was amazing as The Mad Hatter. I think if were to dress up in a Mad Hatter costume for Halloween I could really creep out all of my friends and my family. Plus it’s not scary like my usual Halloween costume preferences. I tend to be a movie monster or living dead type costume guy. If you like this then your probably going to love the rest of this type.

3)  I actually kind of like these costumes.  I loved the Mario video games as a kid and I actually liked the cartoon TV show. The hard decision is actually choosing whether to wear a Mario or Luigi costume for Halloween. So I guess if I do go this route I better Just go ahead and dress up as Toad.

Overall I see a lot of cool new costumes this year. You know all the kids are going to go as things like Buzz Light Year or a Shrek. But if your like me and like to get an early start on trying to choose a Halloween costume you can get some ideas here.

Keep it spooky!!
