But they don't! In fact, they bow in more than anybody. Let's take a look at some of this year's best and most ridiculous celebrity Halloween costumes.

Caity Weaver · 10/31/14 03:30PM

We love our children very much, mostly because we can dress them however we like. But sometimes, particularly on Halloween, we cannot or do not wish to give them the full sized candies their hearts desire. Which trick-or-treat-sized candies retain the most charms when shrunk from big to small?

My Evil Grandmother Turned Me Into a Ghost

Anelise Chen · 10/31/14 03:30PM

Once, when I was in fourth grade, my grandma called me over to tell me that according to her Four Pillars of Destiny astrological calculations my ba zi chart made me susceptible to seeing ghosts. She said this like I had caught a disease and I should live my life accordingly from that point forward. After she announced this news she went back to watching her Taoist soap opera.

Pumpkin carving is a somewhat enjoyable Halloween tradition that follows you from the inescapable family gatherings of youth to to the unbearable pumpkin carving parties of adulthood.

Like Winona Ryder's Career, But Sexier: A Discussion With Juno Temple

Rich Juzwiak · 10/31/14 01:33PM

While watching Juno Temple's exquisite performance in Alexandre Aja's new fantasy/horror/comedy Horns, a name popped into my head: "Winona." In the film, Temple is an angelic and ideal human with a hint of darkness, not unlike the character Winona Ryder played in Edward Scissorhands. Nursing my opinion is the Burton-esque nature of the movie itself, an at times grisly fairytale about an outcast named Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) who's accused of murdering his girlfriend Merrin (Temple) and then sprouts horns on his head that work as a truth serum to almost everybody he encounters. One by one, friends, family, and, strangers start spilling their most sinful desires to him. Horns is absurd and its tonal variation abrupt enough to exhilarate or infuriate, depending on your taste (it's rare to see a movie that's so uproariously hilarious and gruesome).
