With Halloween landing on a Saturday this year, we’re planning to celebrate big and paint the town orange. With festivals, fiestas, and other festivities we’re gearing up to enjoy this wonderful tradition.

Here are a few websites that might be handy if you’re trying to whip together a costume out of your closet or maybe you’re planning to parody a celebrity (or a media-made psuedo celeb) by dressing up as the King of Pop,  Jon & Kate, the Octomom, or Bernard Madoff.

If you’re looking for fun stencils (free ones) to give your kids a knife-free option for decorating. Even if you plan to stick it out at home and pass out candy, there are loads of fun games and activities to celebrate this spooky season.
