Halloween costumes

Louisiana and Cajun Culture have so many local creepy legends that when it comes to Halloween, you don't have to look very hard for a great costume.

While most are seeking out superheroes and super villains, Louisiana is looking to go a different direction.

Not to stress you out, but we're less than three weeks away from Halloween. So what's your costume?

If the St. Louis Cardinals can pick up a win tonight in Game 6 of the World Series, they'll even the series and force a decisive Game 7 on Halloween night.  So, who's ready for some Halloween Baseball?  South Dakota State is.

Halloween is on its way, and parties are bound to pop up. The only problem is that you don't have a costume. You could throw on a dirty old bedsheet, cut a few holes in it and tell people you're a beige ghost. Or you could actually be clever and in-tune with what's happening and hip (as the kids say) by going as viral video star the honey badger.

If your Halloween costume isn't coming along exactly the way you planned, don't feel bad -- at least you aren't any of these horrible Halloween fails.

Giving up hyperbole was a New Year's resolution of ours, so you can be confident we mean it when we say this is quite possibly the greatest baby costume ever. The little lady is dressed up like 'Aliens'-era Ripley -- operating a power loader!

We've smothered the masses with costume ideas for you and your crew, and/or quite possibly soon to be epic wheelchair. Fortunately, we haven't forgotten the rest of you friendless, internet-loving basement dwellers out there. Yes, it's time to make your clever 2012 "meme" costume.

It's unclear if a nine-year-old New Sewickley, PA, girl was actually dressed as a skunk Saturday night for a local Halloween party. But she was wearing a black hat and a white tussle and that was enough for a relative of the unidentified girl to mistake her for the stinky varmint.

We've all been there -- just a couple hours before you have to head out to a Halloween party, and you haven't had the time or money to put together a decent costume. Then suddenly, a flash of inspiration zaps you or one of your buddies -- but all too often, the final product is just sad at best, or lands you in the slammer.

There's one thing we know for sure about little kids-- they can make practically anything seem adorable. Scrunched-up, twisted sour faces? Check. A boppin' on a bed rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? You betcha! Although we're a little dumbfounded as to how this "everything is ridiculously adorable" thing actually happens, we can't help but be sucked into the cuteness every darn

With Halloween just a few weeks away and our obsession with dressed-up animals still going strong, we have been led into the most wonderful of all Tumblr lands with our latest discovery.
