1. Halloween Impaired 

Need a costume? Have nothing bought or planned for? Well visit the PV Times and read the article on Emergency Costumes for the Halloween Impaired.

They will talk you through making an utterly simple and clever emergency Halloween outfit for your child that shouldn’t cost you much to make and you will likely have most of the bits lying around at home already.

Fluffkins feeling left out? Wooffles is ignoring you? Involve them in your Halloween preparations and take the edge off the insanity. Let’s face it, if you can get one cute pet thing done right, people won’t notice that you are using last year’s tomato juice as the fake blood in the punch bowl.

6. Adult Emergencies Resolved

The Huffington Post, as ubiquitous as ever, has decided to show you how your Halloween costume is actually already in your closet. All I can say is that if it moves and groans, run away, it is a creature of the undead and is more likely to eat you than allow you to wear it. BOO!
