Now, these are some terrifying pumpkins! No, I’m not talking about carvings of Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees or Leatherface. I’m talking about carvings of…STUDENTS LOANS! A DYING IPHONE! And other calamities that will make you shriek. GASP! These pumpkins will make for a truly scary Halloween… 1. The horror! I carved the scariest pumpkin...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, I’m not talking about Christmas. Or Thanksgiving. Or Valentine’s Day. Or even YOUR birthday. I’m talking about Halloween! Where everyone gets all decked out and we can all pretend we’re not ourselves for a night! It’s glorious! Here are 15 funny tweets about our favorite holiday....

Some of these look too good to eat. Or maybe too grotesque, depending on who you are. If you’re looking for something a little different this Halloween (or maybe for your wedding or a birthday party), you should definitely check out a company called Guy Meets Cake. Andrew Fuller is the man behind their macabre...

It’s that time of year again: October 31 is creeping up and you need to get your little ones outfitted in a fun, and maybe borderline creepy, Halloween costume for trick or treating. If you’re looking for some last-minute ideas, these photos might give you some inspiration. If you’ve already got your costumes picked up,...

It’s time once again to enjoy all the Halloween-related food, drinks, parties, costumes, movies, etc. we can possibly handle because October 31 will be here and gone before you know it. Again. Which always makes me pretty depressed, but I guess it gives me something to look forward to next year. The “Phantom Frappuccino” from...

Here’s some pretty bad news for popular chicken chain Chick-fil-A: less than a month after the fast food company opened its first location in the United Kingdom, it is already closing down. The British shopping center where the restaurant has its only UK location has been pressured by an LGBTQ rights group called Reading Pride...

There have been a lot of great black films released since 2010. So many, in fact, that it’s kind of hard to keep up with all the quality cinema. Now’s your chance to update your various queues so you can get caught up. All of these African-American films received a 60% rating or better on...

I’ve said it before, and I’m gonna say it again: this “influencer” culture is really pretty confusing, and I’m not sure I understand it completely. Or that I want to understand it. And here’s another perfect example of why I feel that way (and maybe why you do, too). A Yelp reviewer who claims to...

It seems criminal that children go hungry in the United States, but the sad fact is that it happens every day to thousands and thousands of kids. And sometimes we forget there are actually things we can do to help – but there are. Andrew Levy, a real estate agent in Jupiter, Florida, decided to...

Everyone deserves a second chance in life, and Donato Di Camillo is definitely making the most of his opportunity. Di Camillo found himself in and out of jail when he was younger, and he became very interested in photography when he was serving a sentence in a federal prison in Virginia. Di Camillo says, “I...

Young Adult books are not only for the young. Not by a long shot. I know a ton of older people who devour these books. In fact, I’ve kept reading them myself, as I’ve gotten older. YA books are extremely popular and here are some funny tweets that really get to the specifics and the quirks about...

Remember when you were a kid and you thought to yourself: “When I get older, I’m gonna do what I want, when I want. I’m gonna eat the best food, drive a nice car, and live in a really cool house”? Annnnnnd then, you turn 30, you live in an apartment with some random guy...

I get it: you’re in a rush, you forgot it was nearly October 31, and now you’re scrambling to put a costume together for the big party tonight. You go to the Halloween superstore down the street and what do you find? A bunch of ripoff costumes that are also very overpriced. It’s enough to...

This whole phenomenon of people borrowing each other’s passwords for Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO GO, etc. is pretty crazy. It’s like a tangled web of networks and relationships that weaves through your friends, family, former boyfriends and girlfriends – and maybe even complete strangers. And when people lose that privilege, they just come crawling back,...

Are there things that make your blood boil and you have ZERO SYMPATHY for them? Maybe it’s littering, bad drivers, etc.? Whatever they are, share yours in the comments so we can see what gets everybody out there extremely PO’d. AskReddit users did not hold back in their responses. 1. No litterbugs allowed. “People who...
