Halloween stuff:

Perfect time of year to cuddle up with a good old scary tale. Try Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of The House of Usher

Pumpkins!! Carving, growing, harvesting, recipes and more abound at the Pumpkin Nook web site. Beware the MIDI and silly animated GIF’s…tacky, I know, but what the heck, it’s Halloween.

www.halloweenmansion.com has alot of links to Halloween things on the web, all hidden inside a virtual haunted mansion, made with Flash technology. Fun, even if you don’t need the links. Takes a couple minutes to load but worth the wait. Also don’t forget to check out the Halloween events, and the tours, which list events and tours throughout the US and Canada.

Looking for some great ideas for Wednesday? Here’s a great Halloween directory for you to dig through. It boasts over 140 links to sites Halloween-related and it’s got a fun design. I found a couple of links there:

Go to www.haunted-places.com for great listings of Current Paranormal Activity sites, Paranormal Travel Guide, Haunted Tours & Events Listings in all 50 states, International Haunted Places and read about True Life Experiences.

Experience life at the Borely Rectory, the most haunted place in England. True(?) accounts, written by the son of a woman who lived there for five years.

Over at the Official Houdini Seance site, they are asking everyone on the web to attempt to contact Houdini sometime during Halloween. It costs a dollar. I can get cheese for cheaper than that offline.

Have little ones? Need last-minute crafts, costume ideas, recipes, safety tips? Go to Women’s Day Magazine to check out their Halloween page.

Back in the old days before I found the small miracle of weblogs I used to highlight a website of the day. I still maintain such a list, only it’s grown quite a bit. Usually entertaining, sometimes very unusual and most of all, fun. Enjoy these picks from past entries:
