The month of candy, mischief, and all things creepy and scary is almost upon us, folks! October is just around the corner, and we all know what that means... it's almost Halloween.

Personally, Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. Fun costumes, free candy and scary corn mazes -- what's more fun than that? There are scary movie nights with friends, bonfire parties and carving pumpkins with silly faces, too. October just has it all. I mean, pumpkin spice latte, anyone?

If you like the creepier things in life, here is a list of some creepy things that will really help get you into the Halloween spirit:
