Easily one of the best costumes thus far in 2019, a little boy, about 3 years-old, wearing a little suit, with a coat that's WAY too small.
His parents Instagrammed him doing the iconic scene from "Tommy Boy", where Chris Farley puts on David Spade's jacket and sings "Fat guy in a little coat." The fact that the kid has a padded shirt, and almost has Farley's exact haircut, makes it even better.

A Halloween Raver in a Michael Myers Costume Does Not Break Character
There's a 16-second clip of a guy wearing a Michael Myers costume at the "Nocturnal Halloween Massive" rave in Anchorage, Alaska. And while everyone else is dancing and having fun, he's standing still, and never breaks character.
Someone even puts a pair of fuzzy antenna boppers on his head, but he does NOT move.
There's a 15-year-old cancer survivor in Utah named Jackson Barber.
And for Halloween each year, he does a haunted house to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Last year, he raised about $10,000. He says Make-A-Wish was amazing when he was sick, so that's why he does it.

The New Thing Destroying the Environment: Halloween
One more day until Halloween . . . so, just enough time to lay a guilt trip on us. "The Huffington Post"just did an article on why fun-size candy is terrible for the environment.
We eat millions of them around Halloween each year. And apparently the wrappers never get recycled, because it's not cost-effective. So they just end up in landfills, or in the ocean.
If you want to be more eco-friendly, they suggest handing out things like Nerds, Lemonheads, and Milk Duds that come in cardboard packaging instead of plastic.

Here's a great "only on Halloween" story for you.
A college student named Sidney Wolfe at Marshall University in West Virginia dressed up as CARRIE this weekend for a haunted house . . . which included blood all over her hair, face, and dress. And on her way home, she got in a car accident.

Petition to Create National Trick or Treat Day
The Government Won't Move the Date of Halloween . . . So There's a New Plan to Make "National Trick or Treat Day"
There's a petition on Change.org with more than 150,000 signatures to get the government to officially move the date of Halloween from October 31st to the last Saturday in October.
But it doesn't look like the date change is happening, so the people behind it are trying a new strategy: Rather than moving Halloween, they want to make a new holiday.
It would be called National Trick or Treat Day, and it would be on the final Saturday of October.
And it's been added to the National Day Calendar website, for whatever that's worth.
But does it have a chance of catching on and becoming a real thing? I guess we'll see. Or everyone will totally forget about this after Thursday and won't remember until roughly next September.

Here's How to Keep Your Pumpkin Looking Good Until Halloween
Halloween is on Thursday, so if you're planning to carve some pumpkins this weekend, it might be a stretch to keep them looking fresh all week. Here are five things you can do to help them last . . .
1. Clean the inside thoroughly. Make sure the inside of your pumpkin is as clean and dry as possible by getting ALL the pumpkin guts and seeds out before you carve it. Leaving anything behind is what makes it get moldy fast.
2. Apply some petroleum jelly or oil. Putting Vaseline or vegetable oil on the carved edges will keep them moisturized and stop it from drying out. But those are flammable, so DON'T put a candle inside your pumpkin . . . use a small light or glow stick instead.
3. Store it in the fridge. Put your pumpkin in a plastic bag in your refrigerator when you go to bed each night. If there's not enough room, use a cool, dark area of your house.
4. Rehydrate the pumpkin daily. Pumpkins can shrivel up when they run out of moisture. Spraying it every day with water mixed with a few drops of bleach will keep it moist and stop bacteria from growing.
And if your pumpkin is starting to look REALLY sad, give it an ice bath overnight . . . and dry it thoroughly to prevent mold growth.
5. Don't carve it. An uncarved pumpkin will stay fresh way longer than a carved one. So if you want to be SURE your pumpkin will last until Halloween, paint it, draw on it, or look online for other ideas that don't involve carving it.

World’s Scariest Haunted House, and NO ONE Has EVER Made It Through
So you've conquered all the haunted houses around here and you're ready for a challenge? THIS is a challenge.
There's a haunted house in Summertown, Tennessee called McKamey Manor. And it may be the world's SCARIEST haunted house.
If you make it through, you get a $20,000 prize. But . . . NO ONE'S ever made it through.
Why is it so scary? It uses hypnotism to play MIND GAMES with people. Or, more accurately, to psychologically TORTURE them. And it messes with them so much that they ALL wind up saying the phrase to get out: "You really don't want to do this."
If you're interested in trying, you need to sign a 40-page waiver, complete a physical, pass a drug test, prove you have medical insurance, and pass a background check. You also have to watch a two-hour video montage of people quitting.
But the price of admission is just a bag of dog food.

The 10 Most Popular Celebrity Halloween Costumes
Halloween is a week away . . . so if you don't get a costume in motion soon, you'll be wearing an old bed sheet and going as a ghost. Again.
If you're interested in going as a celebrity . . . and you're okay swimming downstream and doing what everyone else is doing . . . check this out:
An online marketing research company looked into the most popular celebrity costume searches online over the past month . . . and here's the Top 10:
1. Ariana Grande
2. Beyoncé
3. Cardi B
4. Kim Kardashian
5. Kylie Jenner
6. Taylor Swift
7. Heidi Klum
8. Lady Gaga
9. Nicki Minaj
10. Rihanna
It's a little crazy that people would have to search online to find ideas for a Kim Kardashian costume . . . as if her image isn't BURNED into everyone's brain by now.
Speaking of the Kardashians, KOURTNEY is one of the people doing an Ariana costume.
It's also worth noting that all these celebrities are WOMEN. So either that means men are more likely to dress in DRAG . . . or men are more likely to not be looking up Halloween costumes a month before Halloween.

The woman's in the car with her son when she "discovers" her husband on the bike. She rolls down her window and orders him to get home before she has him committed. But he doesn't say a word. Y'know, just like Michael Myers.
