Halloween Haunts

 

It’s Halloween!  The time of year that has become as fun for adults as it is for kids.

 

Estimates say we spend eight billion dollars a year to celebrate with costumes, candy & decorations.

Eight billion dollars…and this poor kid couldn’t look happier!

Yeah, mom & dad thought it would be so cute to dress little Dylan as a monkey.  But they didn’t realize he’ll be haunted by this pic for the rest of his life!

The lad thought he was doing a photo shoot for Baby Gap.  From the look on his face, next will be an appearance on tv’s “Celebrity Rehab!”

 

Man, how far they fall.  And so young too.

Party Max sells everything you need to be a swash-buckling pirate.

 

Unfortunately, I don’t believe Blackbeard sailed the seas with a terrier!

“Fifi” just doesn’t strike fear in the heart.

From all the sale ads, dressing as a “pimp” for Halloween appears to be a popular choice.

 

This guy has the flash….the hat….but he is missing something…..Hmm….Something like….

 

 

 

 

….Yes!  He is missing his “hoes!”

 

What is the fascination about dressing up as a “pimp” and a “hoe?”

Many retailers sell ghoulish accessories to accent your Halloween costumes…..

 

 

 

WalMart offers this 8-inch bloody knife.

 

 

…..In case you want to go as OJ Simpson!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this business is having a “Halloween Tanning Special.”

 

 

Twelve glowing sessions for just $21 bucks.

 

 

 

A must-have if you are planning to trick-or-treat this holiday as “Tan Mom,” Patricia Krentcil!

Lastly, the great drought of 2012 has taken its toll on Halloween.

 

 

Just look at this year’s harvest of Candy Corn.

 

Shrunken.  Mishapen.  Discolored.

 

Sad, really.

 

 

 

Here’s hoping you have enjoyed this My Odd Sock look at Halloween.

May your doorbell ring with lots of ghosts & goblins.
